Happy birthday wishes, Allyson! Sorry about your card being declined. Sucks on a regular day but made worse with it happening today. Hoping your day improved greatly.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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
Meh. Problem solved. They thought there was suspicious activity. Apparently, I don't buy flowers for myself often enough. Bastids.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Allyson!
Sympathies about the bank.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Flowers are suspicious?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Flowers are suspicious?
It's a little known fact that most terrorists are also florists.

I would never do that. I would immediately misplace it. I have a whole file of notes on the computer, though.
My favorite way to pick colors so far has been the Benjamin Moore site, which allows me to try out various color schemes.
Ooo, I'll have to poke around there. I've played with Behr's site, which has a similar gadget, and a lot of reasonably helpful articles.
Matt -- Hee, and yikes! The zebra ottoman would actually look great with a friend's stuff, but I don't think she'd be very pleased about it being actual zebra skin.
I don't think I did anything remotely productive today. And now it's too late to do laundry. Oh well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Buying flowers is suspicious? Did you buy thousands of dollars worth sent all over the globe or just buy yourself some pretty flowers?
I hope the rest of your birthday is happier, Allyson, and that the year is cheerier.
"SARA! Dis you?" and his voice goes distant. My brother tells me he was holding the phone up to a picture of me from xmas.Heh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, Allyson!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That is SUCH a "tell his prom date" story.

Happy Birthday, Allyson. Sorry to hear the bank was being an asshat.
And thanks, Sarameg. I'm fairly sure that den is the reason my parents bought the house. But it does look nicer in green, I think.
Okay, one cute toddler story before bed. Yesterday morning Frances comes into the bedroom, where I'm changing Isaac, carrying my cell phone. She tells me "Me call grampa," which I interpret as "I want to call Grandpa" (meaning a cousin who has generously stepped into the role for me). So I tell her we can call him after I'm done. Meanwhile I'm changing the baby and singing to him. But then I think I hear my cousin's voice on the phone and I realize she actually DID call Grandpa.
So now she's officially mastered redial.
