My sister and her husband are at the Elton John concert at the Saddledome in Calgary (box seats). My sister called me earlier during the concert, but her phone died. She just called me back on BiL's blackberry. Elton was playing Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. Sis said "I can't believe you knew it after three notes!" I'm like, "you've met me, right?" She said, I'll call you back. Is there any song in particular you want to hear? I told her, you know which one.

She said, "Okay, I'll call you back when he plays Rocket Man!"

It's on now.

Lisah - e-mail me your travel dates, profile addy is good.

I am sucking at getting any school work done. The brain is spinning on too many other topics and anything I do to shut it up, shuts is down completely. I wish I could just box up my non-school stuff and deal. How do folks DO this?!?

OMG Buffistas make the absolutely cutest babies! (Matilda! Ellie! Wow!) They do grow up too fast though. Ellie is quite the little girl.

BUT I just booked a trip to California in November!!! Sacramento, San Francisco, PALM SPRINGS!!! WOO!

Jealous now.

BUT, I just booked tickets to Anchorage in November. Anchorage, Kenai, HOMER! Woo?

Actually, I'm very pleased to get out of town and to see family. Not quite so pleased about the likely weather, but you can't have everything. And there might be sunshine with the cold. Maybe.

Thanks for the push, juliana, I ended up dancing for three hours.

I'm the Enable-That Girl.

Suzi, breathe, bebe.

Incoming, Gloom.

Thanks, brenda!

I'm in Chicago and about to jump in the shower so I can go have breakfast with some 'istas. YAY!

My little brother is such a champ. LOVE HIM. He picked me up from the airport and we went to Dave and Busters where we ate and played like little kids. So much fun.

But then I pooped out, so we headed home where I could crash. Wanna know the weird thing? He lives in the same apartment complex I did, oh, 9 years ago. Except, it's not an apartment complex anymore. They're condos. He's still renting one, but still. Weird.

I haven't been in this area for four years. It's weird driving around in my old neighborhoods.

sounds good if odd , vw.

again - I am up early - feeling tired and restless. at least it is 630 not 330.

Heh. I just checked in with JZ.

She said she had Matilda nestled in the boppy in front of her while she pumped last night. When the baby heard the machine turn on she glanced up and saw something at Mommy's Breast and it wasn't her! Her eyes widened and she shot dagger glares of jealousy at the pump. "Back off, Pumpy! That's mine!"

Oh, so cute!!! Is JZ pumping so she can sleep at night, or to establish her supply?

I have skipped like the skippiest thing, so forgive me for just jumping in:

lisah in the Bay Area? Woot!

Libkitty, what are your October Monterey dates? We want to get down there to look at the shark, and I see they're letting members and guests in early on the weekends.

My interview on Thursday seemed to go well, so I'm not only happy it's over, I'm happy with what I did there. Now I'm in Richmond letting my Mom mother me. It's Teh Awesome. Mini-golf this afternoon with the nieces and nephews.
