vw, all the best to your mom, today. Good thoughts and prayers coming her way. I didn't mean that to rhyme, but at least it's not mime. I hope you're doing okay. (Oh, as usual, dear.)

Kristin, I hope you feel better this morning. That sounds so painful.

lisah, your hair looks terrific. A little Cleopatra. A little Betty Page. A whole lot beautiful you.

Erin, pimp-my-book sounds like a fun project. You're such a good teacher.

Aimee, Em is getting altogether too grown up. Stop that, now.

Stolen Cubicle, I think I've been welcoming you for days, in my head, and forgetting to do so, with my font. Welcome.

Anne, are you filling in for me, with the early waking? Ever since school started up, I have, of course, suddenly been able to sleep in. This morning, I could have gone back to sleep. I made myself stay awake, and got up as soon as I figured the coffee for being all made. Apparently, my dh didn't put water in the coffee maker though. I'm glad the pot didn't go all splodey.

Cass, I'm glad you've gotten some encouraging news about Kittenish. May the rest of the news be what you're hoping for. I was just wondering about your niece, the other day. I'm so glad she's home! And you got to see her! And that your family has taken a turn towards rational gee-Cass-loves-the-kid let's-think-that's-a-good-thing.

Met a cute boy at the airport. Chattered before the flight and after waiting for our luggage. And did I ask for his number or get his name? No. Because I am a dolt. Did I mention he was cute? And nameless and phone numberless. Because I am a dolt.

Do you remember how Jon B met FAQ Girl? They met on the train, but he didn't get her number. Later, he caught up with her on Craig's List. I'm just saying.

BILLYTEA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT I "KNOW" WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT.

Best wishes to you, and the very smart Wallybee who gives good answer.

Congratulations, billytea and the Wallybee!! Good, good news.

Cass, I'm so happy for you! The niecelet and family healing, all good things. Cindy is wise, you can find anything on craigslist.

lisah, love the new do! You rock bangs better than anyone I've seen.

Kristin, do you carry a heavy bag over the shoulder that's bothering you? That was the root problem of my injury. It put a strain on the muscles that hold the shoulder blade in place (they are wee little muscles), so other muscles start compensating. It probably took over a year for the injury to fully develop. Other than anti-inflammatories for the pain, it was about 6-8 weeks of PT that got me back in shape. Also, I quit carrying my book bag over my shoulder and started using a backpack that went over both shoulders to balance the weight.

Go billytea and the Wallybee!!!!! Best wishes and all that!

Wait, is today P-C's birthday?!? Excellent! Happy Birthday, P-C!

Hi Raq. It seems like we made it through the day.

Seems like, and that is all for the good. This one was particularly rough. I just hate feeling powerless.

lisah, you are a total betty! Or in this case, Bettie.

Gorgeous tat, Tep. Very nice job they did.

First - Happy Birthday Polter Cow!!!

{{Kristin}} I hope you were able to get some rest and that the chiro fixes you quick.

Lisah has shiny hair, and pretty eyes, and a naughty cat.

She said yes! Oh, I like the sound of these words.

Lots of ~ma for vw and the vw mom.

Continued ~ma for Kittenish

I am so happy to read that you were able to see your niece Cass. Yay for the return of the niecelet!

I managed to xpost with Cashmere and Raq even with the time difference. 6 phone calls. On my cell phone. At this hour in my time zone! Bother.

Congratulations, billytea!!!

Happy Birthday, P-C!!!

I overslept. The gronk is strong this morning, and I am supposed to be at Mom's in an hour.

I am ungronked without stimulants, and I was spot-on on time today again! I share my ungronk-ma with the world.

In conclusion, let's make out with P-C. Hippo birdies!!

Starting the morning with a boatload of compliments? Not a bad thing. You guys are the sweetest.

You rock bangs better than anyone I've seen.

hee! Thanks! It's really my crazy lady hairdresser who makes them work for me. We had, like, a twenty minute conversation about how to do my bangs this time. There are many options. I couldn't really decide so she played Psychic Hairdresser and gave me the blunt cut. I am happy! Also, I think I'm going to stick with jet black as my hair color for a long, long time. Like until I'm an old lady. I am really loving it.

I think a WHOOT!!! is in order for billytea, yes? WHOOT!!!

Anne! I was in your old 'hood at a party on Sunday. There was some street fair going on but I didn't make it to that. I miss you being in the area!

I forgot about the large amount of wooooooooooooing for billytea!
