Sean, I hope S. gets to feeling better and coming home soon.

Well on the whole baby and wedding registration theory...

I just had to check for the baby shower I am attending this weekend and the information was not printed on the invite. Convienently there was another slip of paper inside letting me know where the registration could be found. Which is good. Cause it is for my sister. Sigh, yes, I probably should have already known.

Baby Name: Paolo and Ava [LastName]
Baby Gender: It's a surprise!

Yep, she's that bright... Unless she's naming the girl Paolo and the boy Ava. That would be a surprise.

I just finished reading The Not so Big House by Sarah Susanka. I've heard other people rave about her and I have to say I am really glad I read her book. She talks a lot about how you use space, what it is for and what you don't use. Just reading her book made me think about the fustrations I have with my house.

1) I have no place to bead thast is physically comfortable, not can I leave them out.

2) the best place for a group of musicains to play - is the same room with the television.

3) If Matt has someone over to do things like build a guitar or whatever, everytime they come thru the house - I feel like I have to pause the tv and be hostess.

Originally, my plan was to make a guest room/music room. now, we are thinking tv/ guest room and the living room becoming a reading/music room. We rarely watch tv with other people. we always have people over to hang or play music. and if I work it right both rooms could have areas for me to bead or do other projects. With the way we have guest - there might be a few instants where I would lose my tv longer than I'd like, but since we've moved in we have had guests four times. and only one was for more than a night. this is her web site

I can't believe the Crocodile Hunter died. Stingray to the heart? eesh. And why do I feel like he ought to have had, like, an auto accident, rather than dying in the "line of duty" as it were?

I just saw that and am in shock. Just - man. Wow.

What? Steve Irwin died? Dang, that's awful. I know he was crazy and weird, but he really loved what he did.

Oh, wow. I hope you really enjoy it, and that it makes your life safer and a little more fun.

Well, I figured I’d always go straight for the throat; I suppose, as a teacher, I must model life-long learning, and find out how to do it as effectively as possible.

Teacher Erin – mean and efficient.

Erin- I'm sort of new here; alas, I didn't know there were Buffistas in Kansas City! (I'm assuming by KC you meant Kansas City.) I recently moved to Southern California from KC, where I was attending graduate school at UMKC.

Are there other KCistas?

Sonus, is that where you met ND, at the UMKC theatre seminar thingy? You didn’t happen to be at Fred P. Otts a year? Two? Ago when ND was in town?

Yeah, I live in KC, right on the Plaza. I went to UMKC for English and Ed degrees.

Ok, I am irrationally upset about Steve Irwin. I'm gonna go curl up and cry for a bit.

Me too, Aimee, me too. Illogical, but yet...

Dude, Aims! Me too!

I have no idea why Steve Irwin's death is making me want to curl up and suck my thumb, but it totally is.
