{{Sparky and family}}

We had Kara's birthday party this afternoon at the park. Greg's family was very nice and we had a good time. Nick's friends came and the babies ran the young people ragged. Greg's sister has a 3 week old baby, and I got to hold her. She was lighter than any of mine were at birth, 7 pounds, 2 ounces. So tiny.

Tomorrow is Kara's first day of pre-school. She is nervous and currently banging the wall beside her bed. I'm nervous too, but not banging. Yet.

Yesterday I cleaned all of my bathroom except the sentient mold in the grout, which leered at me so I ran away. Perhaps I'll clean it tomorrow. Its days are limited, anyway.

Best of luck for Kara's first day! Take pictures!

Plei, what size do you wear? I have clothes in my closet I doubt I'll ever get the chance to wear again. Also what colors do you like?

My computer is hating on me and not letting me post for multiple tries, and then posting double. Sorry.

I will take pictures if they'll let me, sj. I'm not sure what the rules are in her class right now. We got pictures of her today, though.

I just finished my first paper for this semester. Yay!

And actually, I don't even think the ranting "I already knew this shit!" part was too ranty.

Go, vw!

Heh. The lucky thing for me (well, lucky in the sour grapes way) is that right now, I don't actual fit much of anything, so it's not like shopping wouldn't be frustrating as hell even if I could do it. I'm anywhere from an XL to a 2X through the bust, and an L or XL elsewhere. The last time I tried on a cute dress, it squished flat across the front and had way too much fabric everywhere else. But, to answer, I wear mostly black and grey and lime green right now.

I'm going to have Paul bring up the basement storage boxes, so I can look through and see if I have anything I'd 86ed from the wardrobe that I can make work until I'm back to full-time work.

And, well, I realize these are all first world problems. I also know I can adapt, because I've done it before, but it's like dieting, and getting through those first weeks when your blood sugar is going all wonky, only with money and moods and expectations.

Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society.

Somewhere recently I read, "Just as there are no athiests in fox holes, there are no Libertarians when the levee breaks."

"Well, Trevor, it's been a long, long, LONG damn time. A democrat may have been in the White House, in fact."

Is there a causal link you're not sharing with us?

Yes: if Teppy doesn't get laid, the terrorists win!

Whoo. Apartment smells like bleach. Whoda thunk it?

Just as there are no athiests in fox holes

I've always hated that saying.

Go vw!!
