Get a rubber mallet, Steph. It's less likely to break the skin.

I hope you're not reading this, though.

I missed wishing amych happy on her day. Happy Belated, and may your year be a wonderful one!

My favorite of the darling clutch of Em pics is the one she's wearing her bowed Mary Janes--and *pointing her toes*! So cute!

That's a gorgeous cover, Deena & vw. Yay for ambitious new projects.

Fill My Pills NOW!

Don't let ideology trump sound science — join our Fill My Pills Now campaign today and urge corporate pharmacy chains to adopt a pro-women’s health policy that will fill prescriptions on site, without discrimination or delay.

With a link on how various pharmacies rate.

Thank you for posting this, tommyrot. I was so happy to see that my pharmacy, CVS, was one of the first to gain Planned Parenthood's thumbs up.

I have sent an email thanking them and another telling Target that I won't be shopping there again until they take a clear stance for women's rights to get ANY medication their doctors have prescribed.

MORE Emeline birthday pictures.

{{{{{{Kristin}}}}}}}} Sorry I missed your IM today!

Damn! Those Buffistasprogs don't get any less cute, do they?

LOVED Deena's cover design for the vwbook.

Also, in me-related news - I have now lost 18lb.

Huzzah! Though, I thought you were absolutely perfect before so I'm dubious that this is necessarily an improvement. As you were already the zenith of charm and desirability it's not like you had anywhere to go. But congratulations. Your hard work is paying off. Maybe some more Fay pictures would be a good idea?

THIS is precisely why I adore yon Hecubot.

Wrod - Teppy once again demonstrates that she IS me. Bless your hecliments, Hec; as to photographs, well, once I've had my hair cut again I'll think about it.

I'm awake. No, really. I'm awake.

Someone else want to edit this essay that's due in class today? It's one of those that is good, but needs lots of work. Ugh.

Poor vw, awake at that hour.

I have a huge day (for me). I'm going to Bragg to welcome home from Iraq one of my good friends. I was going to go to the gym next but I don't think I cna fit it in. So, after Bragg, I'm driving in the opposite direction for about 1.5 hours to have lunch with flea and take Ellie to another research appt at Duke. Then, on the way home, I'm hoping to stop at the hospital to see my neighbor who just had her baby. Alone - no problem. With Ellie - nore of a challenge. The hospital visit may slide to tomorrow and become a home visit.

Sorry, no editing skill at this hour. Also, car pool in about 20.

Not the greatest night's sleep. DH wanted to sprall and take up more than his fair share of the bed. And the dog needed her share. This left me kinda of squished on the edge.

Yay to wake up to Emma pictures though. I adore the boots!

So. My Toastmasters end of year dinner tonight. Lots of fun, and--on this point I need some impartial opinions--I have a vague feeling one woman was hitting on me.

So here's the evidence. After the last TM meeting, she buttonholed me about American politics, and we had a good conversation. This meeting, she's talking to me pretty much as soon as I'm in the door, and makes a point of finding a seat at the same time, so we're sitting together. And when the conversation gets onto where she works, she tells me I should come by one Friday evening and we can get a drink or something.

My impression of a large neon sign saying "WALLY WELCOME" isn't entirely mistaken, right?

She likes you Dude. Next time she might be packing a 2x4.
