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!

I bought a car!!!!!! She's pretty and she's MINE!!!!!!

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."

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.

I actually got in touch with 2 of the 3 I needed. Now I shower and get dressed (it is rainy - ugh).

silly indeed.

Have a good day! And stay dry. Um, not in the shower, outside.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings, everyone!

Also, congratulations on the brown belt, ita!
