Ple, you can always sell them again on eBay and then turn that money into Angels that work for you.

Or sell them to Kristin.

So my parents are on the way to Japan. and they are spending the night at my sister's house - but I had them all to dinner here. I made the moosewood spinach lasagne with bechemal sauce... Not a light dish. I had veggies and dip as a munchie before hand. DH decide to make moz /garlic bread, before I got home. They were guilty trying to pretend they only had the healthy veggies when I walked in the door. ( like I cared... but it was funny). We ate too much - and DH made - just a little ( half a ) banana fosters for everyone . It is fun to cook for my family - but it is really funny. I just realized that they have the highest expectations of my cooking.

DH is on call thru monday. When did his phone ring - 15-20 minutes after everyone left. nice timeing

Woo! Sciencey...

Archaeologists have discovered an intact, ancient Egyptian tomb in the Valley of the Kings, the first since King Tutankhamun's was found in 1922.

A University of Memphis-led team found the previously unknown tomb complete with sarcophagi and five mummies.

The archaeologists have not yet been able to identify them.

That's cool, Daniel. I had to go refresh my memory. I thought Neferrtiti was Tutankhamen's mother, but not. His step-mother, so to speak. His mother was a secondary wife of Aten, not Nefertiti. Still, it doesn't surprise me that the two tombs would be close together. It was all the same dynasty.

Plei, I love them! Would you want to sell them to me?

Sure! E me with your address--I'll send them your way and we can see if they work on your feet.

From Overheard in New York...

Drunk guy: Well, here we are.

Drunk girl: This isn't my station.

Drunk guy: I was following you!

Drunk girl: Well, there's a reason I asked you to walk me to the subway.

Drunk guy: Wow, the blind leading the blind.

Drunk girl: More like the oblivious leading the retarded.

There was a night shift last night, and I missed it!

The apartment wasn't quite what we were looking for, but thanks for the ~ma. Keep it coming, because we are going to keep looking for the perfect place.

Trudy, best of luck with whatever you decide to do for school, and remember there are a lot of schools that are much closer to me.

Yay, Suzi for the iPod, you deserve it!

ND, much ~ma to your dad.

Aimee, I love the new hair!

KB, best wishes for your friend's grandson.

Rio, your new puppy is so very cute.

from the self-loathing discussion last night, this pinged me quite a lot. I'm in an OK place right now, but I cycle fairly regularly. When I'm on the low end of the spectrum, I just feel like there's no way I can pull myself out, and I keep running the reasons that I just FUCKING HATE MYSELF so much over and over, and then I alternate that with beating myself down for being so fucking weak about it, and fury about thinking I have problems in this first world existence I live in.

Nora is me, especially the last couple of weeks; the cycle seems to be ending now.

ND, much ~ma to your dad.

Thank you. He had two stents put in today and just has to stay in the hospital overnight. I'll be picking him up tomorrow.

That's good news, right? I am glad he only had to stay in for one night.

Yep, it's a pretty basic procedure.
