And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Student: We have to go to drug ed today? Oh man, I hope it isn't corny like Nightmare Before Puberty.

Me: ...Nightmare before puberty...?

Student: Oh yeah. Dance and acting troupe about puberty. They'd spray-painted the walls with fake grafitti and "told us like it was" for an hour. It was horrifying.

Me: t stunned silence

Student: Yeah, that's the look we had on our faces, too.

The pictures of everyone were great! Good lord, you're all very pretty and have cute children.

We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at our favorite resturant. (They had a Halloween tasting menu. Pumpkin-apple-chipoltle soup! Watercress salad with blood orange vinagrette! Smoked duck and pumpkin risotto! Pumpkin gelato!) Then we did something we've never done before: go to the goth club on Halloween. The pet DJ was happily shocked when we wandered into the booth.

And then today involved sleeping in, because I cleverly took the day off. Mmmm, glorious sleeping in. I'm still in my dressing gown, AIFG!

The boots, which will keep your feet dry this winter, are much cheaper than getting sick with 'flu and pnuemonia and all the other things you might catch if your immune system is compromised by cold, wet feet.

Hee! I'm going to remember that line of reasoning and use it to justify expensive wool tights.

Anyone else now interested in seeing a Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Puberty, or is it just me?

Our wings are not tired.

I like the idea of forcing my boys to watch Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Puberty. That would be fun.

I gave up and went home to work. My ear is too distracting to be social. I'm in bed with my laptop. This was a much better plan.

Boys and girls of every age
are you feeling something strange
Come with us and you will see,
this is your time of Puberty
This is Puberty, this is Puberty,
disturbing dreams in the dead of night
This is Puberty, everybody gets acne,
sulk or scream till your parents are too tired to fight

Happy Birthday, Ginger!

Holey-moley, but we are bunch of good looking folk. I'm glad I waited until now to catch all these pictures because I don't know how many times I can come back to life after being killed ded-ded-ded by the cute! I miss handing out candy, but the last four or five apartments I've lived in have all had locked security doors. If I ever get around to actually owning a house I will probably buy 100 pounds of candy the first year to catch up.

IOmeN, I've taken part of today and all the rest of the week off, AIFG! I needed to use up my personal time before my hire anniversary (the 11th), so I am sitting here with a bottle of hard cider and admiring the adorableness, hotness, cuteness and otherworldy presence of all the beautiful Buffistae and the chilluns. All is well with my world.
