Poor Lily. She has such pinchable cheeks.

Thanks, Anne!

I like the crochet pattern of the day today: [link] but I don't think I'll let myself print it out. The yarn would be $60, and I just can't see spending that on a top that my not fit for very long with my fluctuating weight.

Lily is sooooooooo cute. She has the most beautiful eyes.

I am, theoretically, doing my taxes this weekend. I'm telling everyone that in the hopes that it will motivate me.

My PCP called a little while ago. We did a blood level of dilantin yesterday. I'm back in the therepeutic range (14something...it's supposed to be between 5 and 20; she was nervous that with the IV dilantin and the increased dosage that maybe it had gotten too high).

So, that's not the problem. Which, actually, isn't a good thing. Probably means that the dilantin is no longer an effective medication for me. Blech.

Edited to prove I can spell. Kind of.

News story:

Two U.S. Navy warships exchanged gunfire with suspected pirates Saturday off the coast of Somalia

huh.

I'm feeling dizzy. But I think it's 'cause I ran downstairs too fast to get my package from beth b (can't wait to open it!). But, it makes me nervous.

That sucks, VW. I hope this thing lets you alone, soon.

...in January, Doug Anglin, 17, filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education against Milton (Mass.) High School, which he said discriminates against boys by giving better grades to students who "sit down, follow orders, and listen to what (teachers and administrators) say." "Men," Anglin told a Boston Globe reporter, "naturally rebel against this." [Boston Globe, 1-26-06]

vw -- if you make less than $50,000 a year then you can file your taxes for free electronically. Last year I used Turbo Tax, but this year I found that HR Block was easier to understand.
