Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Possibly my last-ever live daytime tv update: I am LOVING Vince Vaughn on the Ellen show, talking about being with his sisters while they gave birth. Cute!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I haven't had a chance to tell you Cindy, but I am so sorry that you had to go through the It was White and Square and Looked like a Tooth, so I Swallowed It thing! How scary! It seems like it must have been a wad of wet toilet paper...

Also, I am finally back at work. My foot is still swollen, but it hurts tons less. I wish I could poke a hole in it and let all the water or plasma or whatever the hell is in there out, though

I really have to plot out this sort of thing or else I'll devolve into YOU ARE SO STUPID YOU BIG STUPIDHEAD.

At least I'm a little too good about planning ahead.

What is even happening?

Thanks, Sophia. He's a little teensy bit warm today, and I have to keep telling myself that doesn't automatically equal e.coli infection and automatic kidney failure. He says he feels (and in fact is acting) perfectly fine.

Yes, actually we've been leaning toward baked potato remains that probably fell off his clothing.

You poor, poor, woman. Is it more swollen, or the same or less? Are you supposed to be back, already?

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

Lee! Hi! How does the office moving go?

Ummm... I've thrown away some stuff.

I have until next Thursday though, so I should be good.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Cindy, your IWW,AS,ALLAT,SISI story gave me a feeling of 95% OMG! and 5% uncontrollable giggles.

So, I found this thing on my desk... it's white and square... I don't think it looks like a tooth... can you ask Christopher if I should swallow it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I loved and was horrified by your story in equal measure. However, I have to leap to Christopher's defense. This incident is no reflection on Christopher's smarts. I maintain is quite possible for a six-year-old of an, um, inquiring disposition to pop something in their mouth that they later realize is wrong. Like maybe when they are being taken to the hospital.

I have to confess that I was at least 6, but I think older, when I drew on my parents' sofa. It had a geometric pattern! I had a pen in my hand! I was just adding to the pattern!

So, not eating wrong things, but still really really wrong nonetheless.

I was five when I put my hand in the blender, just because my mother told me not to and then put my sister in charge of making sure I didn't when she left the room.

Perkins wins points for the double whammy of defying her mother and getting her sister in trouble!
