I should do a two-fer-one, Happy Birthday Hil, and Happy Belated Birthday to Jessica.

Happy Birthday Hill!

Lee, I didn't realize you were in pain. You covered it well, though I wondered about the early departure.

We just got home. The kids, Tep, Sparky, and Sparky's DH started a lively game of Uno...vicious I should say, with my son leading the trash talking. There are days I wonder who raised my kids.

Birthday happies to Hil and Jessica (a bit late? Oppsie)

Daniel, darling, watching a bra fitting is not sexy fun. Just so you know. Also, bras which are capable of providing really good support for me? Wouldn't be cute&sexy enough to make good prezzies. That said, it might be nice to invest in some really good bras.

So that's why perkins left so early.... Jz and I had fun bonding over the urge to stab our husbands' employers. at some point I tried to convince MG's son that I was part vampire. And once again we spent much time convinceing Teppy that she could just sort of vaction out here and forget to go back to Ohio.

It is 5:43am, CST. Sammie is trying to talk me into opening the Cat-Latch(TM) on the crock-pot so she can breakfast upon the nummy tender chickens inside it.

If I were sleepier, I would be tempted to comply with this request, as it would solve the problem of having to try to sleep with starving cats in the general vacinity, knowing I must wake in a couple hours to feed them. Starving, they are. Really.

She just hurked up something suspiciously fuschia in color. So starving, they must eat plastic to subsist.

ETA: a "."

Alpha-bits.

Half an hour on, and I am sleepy. Two more hours of listening to Sammie croon? Merciful heavens, Harvey is starting to wake up now.

I'ma kill myself and let the cats feast on my flesh. That should solve the problem.

Poor WindSparrow!

Timelies, all!

Happy Birthday, Hil!

Happy Belated Birthday, Jessica!

Busy day today...must get listening to more bio lectures.

Timelies, everyone!

WS, I feel your pain, except Jeeves didn't want food at o' dark early - he wanted attention.

Please remind me, that if I have an idea for ending a story right before I go to bed, to write it down right then and there. Telling myself I'll remember it in the morning never works.

Timelies, all!

Maybe all our grammar gods and goddesses are still asleep, but I have a question. I just got this invitation to this formal farewell party for the wife of Joe's general. It says that the event will happen at "eleven-thirty o'clock with a gift presentation at twelve-thirty o'clock." Is that correct? I've never seen "o'clock" used with a XX-thirty.

Oh, Anne! I hate it when that happens!

Stephanie, that doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not certain.
