Our wings are not tired.

noting the flower advice

My word Gar, 8 years seems like a long time to me.

Speaking of flowers. My son is going to his 8th grade dance. He had told me a couple days ago he wasn't going, but apparently a certain Brittney had other plans, so now he is going. It's a dressy thing. So I told him that if he was going with Brittney then he should bring her a corsage. He of course thinks I'm nuts. He should, right?

Brittney is a new interest apparently. Last month he had 3 text messages on his phone. This month so far he has 1341. Um, ever hear of talking?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

being some one that works better at following a regime if I can see results - that alone is a good reason for a scan.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You know what pissed me off? A man who, if there isn't EVERY single ingredient to make tacos/tostadas, says, "we can't have that." Good lord. Will the lack of refried beans KILL him? *sigh*

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Windsparrow, cut the rose stems at an angle, under running hot water and transfer immediately to warm water in the vase. The trick is to not expose the cut ends to air at all, if possible. I throw out those stupid packets--they always make the flowers wilt and die faster, for me. The axioms that work best for me are "warm water, cold air." And keep the vase up high enough that the damn cat won't eat the babies breath, or the lillies, both of which are toxic to cats.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Shopping with Perkins = Fun, btw. She's quite the enabler.

Hey! Pot....kettle.

This really was a very good fun day. I had a very nice drive-- it was the first time I've gone up that way, and most of the drive was beautiful, I got to see -t, I got a nice short sleeved sweater, two new purses for very very cheap, and an absolutely kick ass leather travel case that will fit my laptop and was exactly what I wanted but much better (it has wheels, and an extendable handle!) and was less than I thought I would have to spend, plus -t and I bought a present for Emma that made us both laugh like loons.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't think we had corsages for any dances other than prom.

I graduated hihg school in 81 - I did have a corsage to the 8th grade dance, but I'm not sure everyone did.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok, Nicole, I tried the hot water, and I see no improvement. To be honest, though, it may very well have been too late, anyway. Daniel brought these home a week ago Friday, and they should have been well on their way to full bloom within a couple days. Or so I would have thought. Ah well.

Laura, just how formal are 8th grade dances nowadays? Mind you, you can tell the young man from me that it is never wrong to bring a corsage. Flowers are always a good idea.
