Dear bug, Stop hurting yourself. And maybe watch a movie while you wait for the cut to stop putting your blood on the outside where it does not belong. KThxBye, Cass

Hey! That's exactly what I'm doing! Go me!

Crazy! I suppose that's a sign I'm not getting an awesome wife from India because I would trust you to find me a good one.

Provided I didn't get imprisoned for proselytizing while I was there (or maybe, even better, if I got imprisoned, and released), I could bring home a good woman for you, who'd I already introduced not only Veronica Mars and Groundhog Day, but to Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Wonderfalls, too.

You could marry her, and at the reception, you could introduce me to your mother, saying, "Now mom, here is the white anything who introduced me to [Mrs. Nice-Pretty-Hip-Cleavage-y Sunil-Spectral-Bovine]."

Happy Birthday, Aimee!!

Bev, I was glad to see you checked in and it is good to hear StE is making progress. I've been thinking about you guys all week.

Not much going on here. Ellie's napping (yay!) and Joe has to work until late tonight. His boss is in town from Savannah so they have so big dinner or something tonight. I'm so glad I have a baby to get me out of dinner.

I'm so glad I have a baby to get me out of dinner.

Kids are pretty useful excuses to get out of anything.

Hey, all! Glad to see the Ween is doing ok, sitting in place and fuming with impatience. Or maybe impatiens.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AIMEE!!

Whoa, I have got stuff accomplished this week, more than the rest of the summer put together. I have done laundry, cleaned the kitchen, rearranged the dining room (LOTS more space, whee!) mopped andleom oiled the wood floor in the dining room, and done hella much on my various syllabi. I'm teaching two new classes this year, so I'm reinventing the wheel.

Oh, and I've woken before 9:30 every day this week. Woo.

Kids are pretty useful excuses to get out of anything.

Ellie actually was diagnosed with pretty severe thrush today. It doesn't prevent her from eating out, but "We had to take her to the dr. today" sounds pretty good.

Erin, you have been so busy. I"m tired just reading it all.

I have been so lazy this summer, Stephanie, I had to do stuff this week. Teachers go back next week, and students on the 21st.

My summer schedule has been basically this:

6 PM: Wake 6- 6:10: Pee and brush teeth 6:10 to 8:30 AM: Drink iced coffee, smoke, watch DVDs, smoke, check email, smoke, read 10 books, smokesmokesmoke, play with cats, smoke. 8:30 AM: Put pillow on face and fall asleep in messy apartment

The only days I have gotten up early have involved going to court. So far, I've been to court 5 times this summer. (Parking tickets)

who introduced me to [Mrs. Nice-Pretty-Hip-Cleavage-y Sunil-Spectral-Bovine]."

Dude! And now I know why. Erin's tag. Hi Erin!

I keep reading this as "Mrs. Nice-Pretty-Hip-Cleavage-y Slutbomb."

I'll take her too.
