Perkins - I missed the owie. Hope today is better. I have macho, muscled teenage boys coming tomorrow to do the heavy lifting, so no worries there.

I have not gotten brave enough to go back to cleaning up that room. Gah.

Has anyone seen the new McDonald's commercial with the two women having lunch together? They're friends who work together, and their conversation goes something like this:

Woman 1: I need to stop being your best friend for a minute and be your boss.

Woman 2: Ok.

Woman 1: You need to stop flirting with John. It's unprofessional.

Woman 2: Ok. Are we best friends again?

Woman 1: Yes.

Woman 2: I think my boss has a crush on John.

It's my new favorite commercial. It just cracks. me. up.

I love that commercial! It is too damn funny.

I haven't seen it. But, that's probably because I Tivo everything and fast forward through the commercials.

Megan, peace-and-strength~ma to your MiL and family.

Mikey, healing~ma to the uncle and a little common-sense~ma, too.

Perkins, I'm sorry I missed your owie! Hot baths, tea, loving kitties and chocolate to you.

Suzi, moving~ma. Don't do anything your back/shoulder wouldn't like.

ION, it is grey and rainy here. I want my binky. But I'm at work, so of course I can't have a binky here. Still, I think we should start a "take your binky" to work day. It would make nasty days like this more bearable.

{{Perkins}} I get to see you tonight! And Suzi!


Mikey, come~to~his~senses~ma for your uncle. That's a hard situation.

{{{{{{{Megan and family}}}}}}} I'm so sorry.

Perkins, I hope you keep getting better. You fell too late in right coast time for me to say at the time, "I hope you don't feel too bad in the morning, and I can certainly emphasize." As you know, gravity is not my friend either.

Megan, strength to you and DH's family.

I don't seem to be getting anything done of a paying nature. Maybe I should go outside and chainsaw something before it rains.

{{{{{Megan and family}}}}} I'm so sorry. Tons of ~ma to the family.

Megan, I'm so sorry about your MIL. Getting a terminal diagnosis is such a difficult emotional space to negotiate. I hope she passes peacefully, painlessly with her loved ones around her.

Perkins, you gotta work on being more nimble. I think we need to train you in parkour.

I lopped off my hair today, made nummy dinner and then burnt my knuckle. Well, it can't all be good.

Lopping is good! What's it look like? (aside from pretty - we'll just presume that)

I love the round of spring haircuts. Nutty, Nora, Cass. And Teppy's overdue at the salon. Anybody else?

I got my hair chopped from shoulder length to between earlobe and chin...

Hi everybody! I'm waiting for my laundry to be done so I can pack and drive down to North Carolina. Woohoo!
