It's GORGEOUS here. I was standing out on the back porch in bare feet in the sun and it's all warm and Spring-like.
I'm supposed to be getting on a plane this afternoon to go back to LA.
Don't. Wanna.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can't say I blame you, Allyson.
It's gorgeous here, too though. The fluffy clouds in the distance don't speak well for the future, but for right now, they are pretty.

Did the FEMA people get new jobs helping Glark run the technical side of TwoP? Site errors and downtime have been climbing for the stratosphere lately, and now the forums are down for revamping again just in time to kill the buzz following all the SciFriday season finales.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's lovely and warm here, too. I'm not minding a bit, as I've had enough of winter.(even though this winter wasn't all that bad, I still am tired of it.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Am sleepy, since even though theoretically I slept enough, the damn cat woke me up several times. Bah.
It seems lovely outside, so I'm thinking I'll pack up the readings I'll need to use for my take-home midterm and take them to Central Park to go through them.

My Dad got a remote-controlled racing car for my nephew's bday. It's zooming all over the house right now. There's a dog that looks not unlike Rolf from the Muppets behind the wheel. Cutest.
So sad I'm not going to be here for his birthday. He loves cake and I Cream. That's how he says it, "I Cream."
He hasn't tried pie, yet. I should have made a pie while I was here. Damn.
All packed. Ready to go. Don't want to leave the nephew. But my SIL wants to take him to LA. So, maybe next year. She was really stoked about the thought of Catalina, when I described Thanksgiving to her, but you know, Thanksgiving, adults, one crazy toddler...not such a good idea.
Blathering on. Too much caffeine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Spring!!

Depending on the actual people involved, one kid and a bunch of adults can be great -- you can spread out the intensive kid time. When I was in high school, my family took a couple of trips with another family that had one kid my age and one little one, and it was great.

Definitely depends on the toddler. Really, I find that generally it's when they run in herds that it gets hair-raising for all.
It's a lovely day here, and I'm opening windows that haven't been open in at least six months if not more. I was even so enthused that I went out and bought some seeds that allow you to plant them six weeks before last frost date... which coincidentally is today! So I'd better get crackingplanting.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's beautiful here, too. Sunny and about 70. Daffodils and narcissi are starting to bloom. I have windows open, and as soon as I watch 24, I am going to blast tunes and clean, clean, clean.
