Bitch Band

No, Bev, Nick's in a new band with much more talented musicians he's wanted to work with for a long time. They say they're pop/rock/progressive. They make me think of the hair bands of the 80s (Nick loves his makeup and they all do stunts with their instruments) combined with N*Sync, and a dash of something I don't know how to name. They vigorously oppose any appellation of punk, or techno, so there you have it. They're unique...they hope.

Ah,well go, Nick! I like Astronauts and Cavemen, too. If I think of anything else that sounds good, I'll let you know.

Holmes on the mind, so I immediately thought "The Speckled."

I like Astronaut or Indigo.

I used a baby tub in the kitchen sink for awhile. Nowadays I still bath them together. I'm not sure how old my daughter needs to be before I can just tell her to go take a bath.

ION, Leif invented a new recipie for chocolate chip cookies. Take a carton of eggs, break onto carpet. Add one large container of Nestle Quik and a cup of milk. Let stand until discovered. Luckily this happened while as was at work, but I still had to do a fair amount of carpet cleaning that night.

Aside from the carpet part, Leif's showing some worthwhile understanding of cooking basics. Still, sorry about the clean-up issues.

Oh, dear, Gud.

So, the saga of the Independent Study professor continues. I e-mailed him twice over the weekend. When I didn't hear any response by Tuesday, I decided to call him to make sure he got the e-mails. I got an e-mail from him late last night saying I should call him this morning, and no, he didn't get either of my e-mails.

This is getting so frustrating. I'm kind of just doing this all by myself. And now, I almost have the survey ready to go live, and I'm terribly afraid that he's going to tell me I'm going about it all wrong.

How old is Leif again?

I don't think I've ever heard of a child as obsessed with breaking eggs and making a mess with food as Leif.

Leif is 3, the age of chaos.

Astronaut vs. Caveman

I hope Nick chooses this one.

Maria! You were a beautiful bride and you and your DH look very happy together. Congratulations again!

The combined cuteness of Tickybox, Em, and Mal is just too much!

Raq, your DH is very handsome.

Empress, you look fabulous.

I just called the Ohio Quit Line, talked to the counselor and will be receiving patches on or around the 9th of November, official quit date the 14th of November. Am a nervous wreck.

Woo Hoo!!!

I like Astronaut v. Caveman better than Astronaut vs. Caveman. It's easier to say.
