Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Ugh, today is my penultimate day of vacation.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Just popping in to say that if you go to the Accessories section of the Shiny Shiny site and scroll down the page, there are Hello Kitty car accessories.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

he got disgruntled and started yelling "You Fired Daddy!" from his bed. It's not easy getting fired by a three year old.

I've done this. Back in Library school, we had an library picnic at the head of the program and law library's house, and people brought their kids. One of the 3 or 4 year olds took a great liking to me, and we starting teasing each other. Eventually he "fired" me, and liked the reaction he got enough that he kept doing it.

Unfortunately, the boss and I had a very similar haircut at that point and after the dinner break the little boy ran up behind her and yelled "you're fired".

The family left soon after that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Buffista sprog are being extra adorable today.

If you see a couple where one is way better looking than the other, you can be sure there's some other element balancing that out.

You've got the looks
I've got the brains
Lets make lots of money...

Swouncing

You Fired Daddy!

Where could he have picked that up from?

Just give everyone a B+. If they complain, raise it to A-.

I have to find their mistakes and correct them. They're on to that trick, apparently.

Thanks Narrator, Raq. I'm trying to combine the two - once I finish with one exercise, I get to play catch-up-and-post. Let's see how long this holds.

[Edit: Kat, anything especially fun or cake-y for tomorrow, to at least enjoy the end of vacation? Also, will your semester be as crazy as past ones?

Also, my parents are yearning for grandchildren. Every fiber of their being is crying out loud for grandchildren (um, other than their actual mouths, that is). Everybody is looking at me for providing them (my baby sister informed me that she's very ready for nieces and nephews already). However, they do know that I want this very much as well and trying my best, so they don't pressure or anything. It's the aunts and the old ladies at the synagogue that are really forgetting the whole boundaries issue.]

I'm pretty sure he got it from Cyberchase on PBS. There was an episode where somebody got fired.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gah. Sinus headache. While I am grateful it doesn't feel pre-migraine, I fear I do have to duck off to my car for a lie down. Definite knitting needle up the nose territory.

Remind me not to let you near my knitting needles.

Oh, no worries. I have one more than I need right now.
