All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And skimming back I see that he does mention watching GA, so I will refrain from any further attempt to interpret Gus.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I bought a car!!!!!! She's pretty and she's MINE!!!!!! Her name is Sophie. I've already taken her shopping. I bought her wipes, new windshield wipers, and a couple of other little toys. Tomorrow we're going to buy her some new tires, and take her for some beauty treatments. She's going to get the little issues she's been having with some of those little lights in front healed, and maybe get the slight bend in the front bumper thing bent back into place, and she's definitely going to get a thorough bath and wax. I have also ordered her some pretty Disney accessories off of the internet, but she's going to have to be a little patient on those, as they come in the mail. I will most likely be making a few phone calls about getting her a keyless entry installed, as well, as it looks like that isn't as expensive as it could be. We will also buy some gas, most likely.

On Wednesday we will buy her some insurance, and we will see about repairing the slightly odd thing her radio does (if you turn it down quickly, the volume will punch up to blasting in a startling way). And I will continue to consider fixing the little minor paint issues she has.

Sophie is awesome. She's so pretty! And she's mine!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Ali! Yay you! Congratulations!

There's a word in Hebrew that one uses to congratulate somebody who got something new. There's no English equivalent, so I can't share it properly with you, but that's what I want to say right now!

Um, if I were here. Which I'm not. Since I'm still grading. I've only read "Beep Me" and came here to skip so that it wouldn't look like I'm skipping a 1000 posts all at once, only a couple of hundreds. Not that it's strange to do this or anything.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just watched the most dumbass queen evah confront larry mcmurty about the meaning of wuv.

Allyson gets to have all the fun.

ita, I haven't yet congratulated you on being brown-belted. Yay, you!

Congratulations Alibelle! I'm still enjoying the New Car Smell myself. I feel like a bad new car owner since I haven't named the minivan or gotten any cool toys for it yet.

Cashmere!

This is Nilly's keyboard, all bored because that annoying girl doesn't play with me lately, using hte lame excuse that she has to use her hands in order to write stuff on a bunch of papers. Anyway, how are you doing? Are you tired of answering questions like "how are you doing?", that people probably ask you all the time, considering how near you are to completing your pregnancy? (I'm a very smart keyboard, to know all that stuff. That silly Nilly girl doesn't know what she's missing.)

Hi, Nilly's Keyboard! Sorry Nilly's been so busy grading.

I'm tired but feeling ok, considering I've only got 12 more days to go until my due date. I never get tired of answering that question. It means I get to say, "I'm tired and feeling HUGE."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Am I ita's designated mother hen? hmm. well, I worry - I guess it is fitting.

Today I got up when I woke up/the cats were making enough noise to keep me awake. That was 15 minutes ago. I suspect extreme sleepiness might occur later this afternoon.

Oh, that's a great answer.

Are you tired of people asking you if you're all prepared, if Owen has any sort of idea as to what's going to happen, stuff like that? I'm a very curious keyboard, and I don't get to play a lot on my own.

msbelle! people who get up way earlier than they intended to should do something fun during the time until the hour they should get up. At least, that's what this Nilly person thinks.

I am sitting with the cats and having a big glass of water (like someone else does when they first get up). I was actually hoping to "talk" with some folks in the Israel office, but they are all away from their computers.

Oh, who would go to drink water when they get up? Silly people.

Maybe the Israel office folks are out having lunch? As the keyboard, I have to avoid drops from Nilly's salad dressing as I type myself right now.
