Hec, just think in under 2 hours this day will be done.

Does anyone know if I do my taxes on Turbo Tax can I do them say, now and then go back to my account and print what I had done later? Or is it just gone?

Emmett's fingernail is only bruised about halfway up through the nail. Looks like he mashed himself with an errant hammer. It's throbbing still, but I don't think he'll lose the nail, or will require hot needles or exacto knives. (He won't even let me pull out a splinter, so at-home surgery is probably out of the question.)

I'm hoping it's more scare than damage.

That's good.

You may also want to see if he'll be willing to splint it for a couple days. Not because he needs his finger in a splint, but to keep from hitting the bruised parts.

I say, wincing five years after my last slammed-finger-in-door moment.

Twins. Huzzah.

Poor Emmett, and poor Hec! I hope it won't interfere with his pitching?

One of Mallory's birthday presents was a LeapFrog thing that comes with animal fronts and butts. You put them in, and if you put in both the horse front and horse back, let's say, you get a bit of trivia about the horse.

If you mix and match, you get a song with the appropriate animal:

You put a sheep in front / You put a cow behind
Put them both together / And what do you find?
A sheepcow? That's silly!!!!!

So I'm working on the game I'm running for Saturday Night D&D tonight, and just realized that, stuck in my head, is:

You put an owl in front / You put a bear behind
Put them both together / And what do you find?
An owlbear? That's s--RAWRRRR!!!*tear**rend*AIIIEEE!!!

Help me.

Fay. I have a great-aunt who moved to Thailand. You should have no problem. She is living on social securiity, $800 a month, and moved there, because on that amount she lives like a queen. She had a weight problem , but has lost ten pounds . She walks everywhere never cooks, eating out all the time. Apparently in spite of its scrumptios nature of Thai food it is easy to eat healthfully in Thai resteraunts.

Also I get the impression from her that though not exactly a free country, Thailand is pretty freewheeling as long as you avoid obvious errors liking dissing their royal family. Kinda like the U.S. in that regard was her comment.

Very very friendly, says great-auntie.

Yay! Loving the anecdotal evidence that one can enjoy Thailand even while being a lass who is wobblier than thou.

Fay, when you visit Seattle, I will be introducing you to the guy I consider your future spouse. Just so you know.

Splendid! Except, you know, I'll be all ablush and tongue-tied, or else in Entertainment Overdrive. But perhaps he'll find that charming? One can but hope...

Wacky Pagan Bowling

blinks. is curious.

... the nice goth-girl's husband is willing to be prowling 30 feet behind her in his car. He will be happy to mount the curb and squash the lecherous grin from your over-entitled faces.

OMG. PeetNGilly4Evah!!!!OTP11!!! Liek, Squeee! (Or, for the English-speakers amongst us: Bless.)

Sucha first world problem I'm having, but.

I'm going to be SO BORED for the next ten days. The flatmate I like AND le bloke, and their entire class, which is pretty much all my friends in Sheffield, are going on a field course. For ten days. I suppose I could do some work or something...

Poor Emmett! Poor Hec! I'm glad he seems to be doing ok, though.

Jars, that does sound boring. Hope you're able to get lots done while they're gone...or at least relax a bit.

I woke up to my head wrap being completely off. Good thing I'm supposed to be taking this thing off today.

Also, there's a strange girl sleeping on the couch in the living room, and I am being a very rude roommate and being on my computer anyway. I'm angry, because Not!Emily left a nasty note about the state of the apartment. DUDE, I've been sick. And how am I supposed to clean when there's a strange girl on my couch?

Poor Emmett! I hope the finger heals quickly.

Owen slept 12 1/2 hours straight last night. I tried to wake him around 7:15 but he was still groggy. I changed his diaper and put him in his pjs and he promptly fell asleep again beside me on the sofa. We gave up and just put him in bed.

Dear Not!Emily,

Have you taken a look at her freaking head? Yeah. That's not a hat.

Ta,
The Bitches

vw, I think I so would clean, with the girl on the couch. I mean, you don't want to upset Not!Emily to the point of note writing, again.

Hec, you can carefully drill a hole in it to let the blood out.

My mother always used spare surgical stuff, but, umm, I doubt you have that around. Last time I slammed my finger tip in the door, I think I used an Exacto.

Oh, and rebuilding the part of the nail that fell off with a gel nail kit TOTALLY helped with the healing process.

Dear Lilly,

When you get a boo-boo, I suggest you show it to *Daddy*; if he's working, wait 'til he gets home. ijs.
