Wish I had the cupcakes, Deena. Missed Ink of Tep, too. Wow, bt and Wallybee. Best of luck.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Yeah. I don't know what that was all about, either. It was like the unintentional rhyming at vw, early in the morning. It wouldn't stop.
Me: Em, what does a cow say?
Em: Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
Me: Em, what does a sheep say?
Em: Sheep! Sheep! Sheep!
Me: Em, what does a bear say?
Em: Beeeearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This killed me ded. I know it's wrong that I don't want her to learn the real words, because this won't always be cute. I mean, when she's older, it would be the opposite of cute, but I just love it.
When Chris was Em's age, he said "Wow," for water. My friend Julie (she used to post here, sometimes) said given the importance of water, he was totally right.
Ok. Veronica Mars is over. Someone tell me to get my ass in the shower and not start another episode.
You know, I almost told you to shower first, because the show sucks you in, sometimes. You're a big girl. You'll do what you have to do. Any word on your mom yet, vw?
When my sister was Em's age she discovered the wondrous fact that an orange is ORANGE. She stared at the thing saying "orange ORANGE! Orange ORANGE!!!!!" For the rest of the day she ran around showing it to people "ORANGE ORANGE !"
That's so cute, Trudy. When Ben was about 3, we were still trying to be good parents. One night, I went to give him an orange after dinner, instead of a sweet. He was indignant. "That's not dessert! That's an orange! Oranges are orange! Dessert is BROWN!"

Dad sent an e-mail right after she went into surgery (blackberry's are wonderful!). They expect the surgery to last three hours. So, I'll call right before I go into therapy. She should be out by then.
I'll try to post an update from dad's Blackberry after I know something.

"That's not dessert! That's an orange! Oranges are orange! Dessert is BROWN!"
Ben is wise, right, and other things that mean I totally agree with him. Except in the case of cherry pie, whereupon dessert is red.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dessert is BROWN!"
I'll have to tell Orange ORANGE sister that (she just got back from her honeymoon).

Well, red's more in the brown family than the orange color of oranges, and the pie crust color is definitely in the brown family, so I think Ben would approve, even if he wouldn't want the cherry pie. No one in my house would want it, but me, but that doesn't stop me from making it, with latticework, and not the cheaty kind.

Nobody in your house would want cherry pie? (boggled) Why not? Cherry pie is my favorite pie.
