My mom was actually a little relieved that the Columbine shooting was on the 20th. (Not, obviously that she wanted it to happen at all, but at least it wasn't on her birthday.)

Do I ever get that. I had just called my sister to congratulate her on making it through a birthday without a tragedy when the news from Columbine broke.

Take that back. I'ma buy THIS ONE. [link]

Aimee, you're a crack/house-peddling hoor! Quit showing me houses I could never afford. I'ma pout.

Nicole, the massage place is awesome, but you have to be here for an open house. I don't know when the next one will be. Except that they are hosting a "transformative" weekend thingy that costs $375 and sounds awesome. Fortunately for my bank account it's being held the weekend of the F2F, otherwise I would so be going to it.

Aimee - stop with the homes from my homeland! You're mean! My lip's stickin' out further than Sail's even!

I thought I *told* you, the Rastafarians have taken care of my money problems, and I have NO trouble getting wood.

Damned spammers.

I mis-read the last word as "splinters". That was a sporfle-filled moment.

I'm back from another enjoyable job-application/interview. The great thing about working in the delightfully-underpaid caregiving profession is that potential employers are always glad to see someone who has a few years experience. I have reason to be optimistic about being employed again in the near future, and reason to believe I will have the luxury of choosing whichever job suits me better.

Once a year we'll house swap for two weeks.

Oh, no need for that -- I'm going to be spending my summers here!
