ion, my throat wanted ice cream. Dublin Mudslide is too sweet. I never thought I'd put those two words together in my life.

Nicole, that place looks awesome! Take lots of pictures and bring us all back a cabana boy, 'k?

As long as all of the planning works out and I'm actually able to go, I will search high and low for a few cabana boys to drag back with me. You betcha.

libkitty, post anytime you want about any 'ol thing you want to post about. I'm sure the loss of your church was extremely rough and you'll be the first to get a cabana boy, if'n I find where they're hiding out.

The shoulders are loose, the brain has been quiet, the mind and body have been at peace.

GREAT news, Suzi!! The rest can wait until after your vacation.

Shopping spree! I bought David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth on DVD, the graphic novel thingy V for Vendetta along with Fray, and a Dilbert collection for good measure. Fun!

perfect spring day . yesterday was pretty damn good. Most of the Day was just DH and I roaming around looking fo r brunch or other stuff we want buy sometime in the future. not too much talk of him about work travel.

When I think of perfect spring days I think of how soft the air felt in June in CT.

Looking forward to: navy! sister will be visiting the last week of march. April 9th is Golden Spike III - the celebration of the train ( an old steam train) comming to Niles. It has been a many year fight and should help the economy of Niles in a cool way. ( Niles was the actual 1st spur to the pacific ocean ) 3 This is my birthday month. Dh will be out of town, but since college I have tried to take one day around my birthday just for me. I like takeing a day to be all about me.

Yes. This is exactly what I was thinking of too, Beth.

Owen was looking at one of his Maisy books today. Maisy was dresses as a pirate. Owen said, "Yo-ho-ho!"

He's so obviously a Bitch kid.

It was nearly 70 degrees yesterday (along with violent thunderstorms) and it's supposed to snow today. Wednesday, Rain of Toads.

Perfect spring day was two days ago. Woke up in Edinburgh to a blizzard across the city. Prettiest thing ever.

Also, I've skipped and skimmed, so anyone who needs it gets punctuation and anyone who needs kicks up the ass gets that too.

In today's chapter of As vw's Body Implodes, she went to the ER last night after having a couple seizures*. After six hours there, and two more seizures, she's finally being seen and tested to check her med levels (on the theory that aaaallll the new drugs are not playing nice with the old drugs, namely the seizure medication. She may or may not be admitted, depending on what they find (and whether a bed opens up). I'm off to school soon so won't be able to post until later this afternoon, but she wanted me to let you know.

(* Note to anyone who's only really familiar with seizures from TV shows -- this is not the convulsive floppy kind of seizure, it's the zoning out and not hearing or responding to outside stimulus kind of seizure.)

Gah! Thanks for the update, Emily. I'll be praying for vw today, that's for certain.

Just checking weather before hitting the road.

vw - my thoughts are with you!!!!

See y'all soon - well from the home puter that is...
