Swouncing

I am available for adoption

Oh, does that mean I'll get to have your kids as by-proxy grandchildren? Because a Jewish grandmommy is like the greatest spoiler-of-kids, ever to exist in the world. That would be fun!

OK, really have to go now. Adoptions, conversions and food will have to wait until after the soup. Um, the weekend.

Have good rest-of-the-week and great weekends, everybody!

Yes! And they would love to be spoiled by you. Their own grandmothers do a fine imitation of spoiling-Jewish-grandmother, but really, who would refuse an extra grandmother.

Take it easy, Nilly. See you, later.

I wonder if my dad would dig an iPod for father's day.

Oh crap, that's THIS weekend. I thought it was next. Ah well, I'll get stuff shipped before the day, rather than a week later, which is my usual MO.

I've decided to go visit my folks over my birthday. I think my mom will be way way way too excited about that, but I'll survive. (This is the woman you can torture by waiting until your birthday to open the gifts she sent. She wants you to open them right away!) I haven't been in NM in summer in a very long time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm hoping my dad will be OK with a late-arriving card for father's day, myself.

On September 23, 1900, Rice was chloroformed to death by his valet, Charlie Jones, who had conspired with an unscrupulous lawyer, Albert Patrick, to murder the aging millionaire and claim his estate using a forged will.

DUDE.

My brain totally exploded this morning, but then I learned that I would have a chance to add stuff to the plan in July, and I'm not going to be tied down to what I could come up with today. PHEW.

How much do iPods go for? I've been considering one for Scott, but never take it far enough to look at them, in case I fall in love and they're too expensive.

They're spensive, Cindy. Like $400 for the good one.

My brain totally exploded this morning,

And then you vacuumed it up?

My postal lateness issues are compounded by the fact that my parents' postal district is really really screwed up and mail is late all the time. Like, weeks.

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

I get em cheaper through the caltech bookstore. The 4 gig is $229.00

My dad's birthday is the day after father's day, so I usually try to get him something really good when I can.

Ooh. That's what I was afraid, Jesse. Thanks. I won't look.

Even the $299 is too rich for my blood, right now. He's not my freakin' father.

I thought Father's Day was last Sunday, so I am a week early.
