Just got off the phone with bitchy and unhelpful Cust Svc rep at US Bank. Not helping my mood. Hint: if the reason I can't logon is an error at your end, and I'm concerned that my payment will be late...offer to waive the fee to take it over the phone, bitch! Sheesh!

As you were.

Expand the expressions of your fannishness! Carve Buffy or Spike on your Jack-O-Lantern!

Too lame? How about Batman (from Batman Begins, specifically), Johnny Depp Wonka, or Corpse Bride characters?

The internet. Is there nothing it can't do?

Tep- my back is much better. Now it just gets a little stiff when sitting at my desk. I got stupid drunk in that, "hey this is how I used to drink in college, which is when I last saw these folks" way on Sunday night (after driving for 6 hours in the teeny Escort) and I woke up on Monday morning with a terrible hangover but a much improved back. I don't know, it was likely a coincidence, but the hangover v. searing constant back pain tradeoff was a good one. But the hangover was a doozy, as one might expect, for that kind of reward.

Also, I must remember how I CANNOT drink like I drank in college. Sheesh. But it was all fun, until waking up.

I think you're probably having more adventures now than she is at the moment.

Entirely possible.

Plus you're very sassy.

In a very different way, true. Hey -- after lunch, I want a report of her new look for fall 05.

Oh! I want a Devil!Flanders pumpkin.

I know she went away from the contemporary shag she's been working and back to a variation on her classic Betty bob. She was gushing about her new Minneapolis hairstylist: "She understands my look!"

Being the ex-goth girl that she is, Betty spends a lot of time thinking about her look. My favorites have included: Faux Channel, Period Inaccurate Rockabilly and Suit Over Corset.

I found it!!!! THANK YOU for the ~ma!!!!!

Now, was Suit Over Corset the same as Blue-Blooded Domme?

Pretty similar. If you'd watch that damn DVD I sent you, then you'd know exactly what she was basing it on.

Cindy, yes, it's going to wait. I have an appt. Monday afternoon. It's not bothering me much now, sort feels of like an eyelash in the corner of my eye. The nice thing is, because of this my medical insurance will cover the exam, and the copay is less than the vision insurance. So, um...whee?

I got ointment and wore a patch for two days.

I'm betting they'll do something similar. Greg was all excited. He thinks maybe it will make Aidan feel better if they have to patch his eye, though it seems to be wandering less than it was a couple months ago, and it was never very much to begin with. See, I go through these things to comfort my children.

Nora, glad to hear the back is better. You are most smart, even if these people's template distorting ways are getting to you. What program are these templates in? Is it something we can help with?

The speech therapist never showed up, but I was feeling so good that I went outside and played with the babies for an hour. Yay! Lots of "KICK IT! KICK IT!" to the ball, and running back and forth. Thank heavens they're so small and running to them is my fast walk. Later, this won't be so easy.

Dang I'm chatty.
