Ooogh. I woke up this morning from a really freaky, scary dream that was a sort of combination of The Stand and 28 Days Later, where Captain Trips turned you into 28 Days Later zombies. (Didn't many people die from a Captain Trips like disease in 28DL?)

Photos from the 2006 Spring/Summer Dior collection. Very foofy and gothy.

The outfits were, uh... interesting, but that model (or models, I couldn't quite tell). Did they scour the world for the butt-ugliest models they could possibly find?

Gronk.

Am at work and would rather crawl under a rock.

I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this legal guardian stuff. Sunday, C's mom's boyfriend called C cause C's mom was drunk and out of control and he wanted C to talk to her and calm her down. Ummm, yeah. When C is finally able to talk to her mom, the mom said some VERY nasty things to her.

Then yesterday, said mom comes over to have a heart to heart with C, all nicey nice.

I don't get parents who do that. She may be a fairly mature 15 year old, but she is still a kid.

Sorry, didn't realize I'd ramble on so much, but I'm gonna hit post anyway.

Also, I have a nasty kink in my neck, or something.

Should've gone with the Zen method.

Ten digits and there is an understanding, what is the wisdom of two digits?

Or the Christian method.

And on the 111th day, God rested....

Poor C. She is lucky to have you, MG.

{{{vw}}} Get better~ma.

Lots of dealing-ma for MG and C.

I so wanted to close the door in her face when she showed up, but that wouldn't have been good for C.

What's up with the boyfriend dragging C into it anyway? "My GF is drunk, let me call her teenage daughter and see if she can manage her better than I can" ??

So, I need a reality check: Mallory's nanny has a roommate, also female, also middle-aged, who I know sort of. She got Mal a small gift at Christmas, and when the nanny babysits in the evening, the roommate comes over also to keep them company.

This evening when we got home from work, the roommate was here. That in itself, no biggie. But she and the nanny showed me that the roommate had brought her camera to take photos of Mallory. They showed me the photos as they were all proud of them.

Is that weird? We've been trying to make the nanny feel like part of the family, but the roommate of the nanny taking photos of someone else's baby?

I hope she's not planning on selling him via the Internet. At least not without cutting me in on the proceeds.

{{{MG and C}}}

So, it's official. It's pink eye.

Nora, you have e-mail.
