See, I totally got, "Aroo?" and had no idea what Avatar was. I'm dating myself with cartoons.

I have returned from Costco with much paper product and some pretty, pink roses. Now I'm eating leftover, snack-sized Kit-Kats that I was supposed to get rid of. Well, I guess eating them is getting rid of them, technically. And having a glass of red wine. Life is good.

I need to hit Costco, either today or tomorrow. Oooh, fun.

This morning, I brought in a HUGE bag of candy. I put it in the office kitchen around 8am. It was GONE by 10am. HUGE BAG. Better here than at home. There is still plenty of candy at home.

vw, Does she believe that you turned them in (i.e., does she remember getting the envelope from you)?

Yes, she does believe that I turned them in. She knows I've been working my ass off trying to get caught up and has helped walk through some of the problems. She's seen the work in-progress, so I don't think there's any doubt in her mind that it exists. She doesn't remember that specific envelope, but apparently there were several in her box that day.

Those are some great ideas about how to approach the situation. Thank you. No accusations are being made on either side, and I know she feels terrible that they may have gotten lost on her end. Just a frustrating situation all around. But, we'll get through it.

I love that Suzi, Cindy, & Cass can translate for me.

juliana, this is the album. It's a three-disc set, but it's likely you'll want more than that one song anyway. Heh.

I have quite a bit of Discs 1 & 2, but I don't think I have any of Disc 3.

So far the top contenders are THOK! CHOK! KKNNKKK! and the all-purpose THUD!

LOVE.

waves A's-colored toothbrush temptingly at Suzi. "The North Beach Spa caaaaaaaaallllls yoooooouuuuuuuu..."

Oooh, fun.

Innit? I love that place. Stuff piled to the rafters and free food samples. Fabulous. And it wasn't even crowded today, which is always a pleasure.

are there any Buffistas within reach of Boise, Idaho?

Not in practical reach, unfortunately. I'm in Provo, Utah.

Oh my son adores it too.

Do you ever discuss with him some of the more adult themes of the show, like the fact that Jet is a psychopath and Ba Sing Se is a classic Orwellian dystopia?

I mentioned Kristin's dinner to DH and he assumed I was spending the night there next weekend. I don't wanna party crash, but I thought it was funny that he now assumes I'm just gonna not be able to drive home.

Jet is a psychopath

He got that one on his own.

Ba Sing Se is a classic Orwellian dystopia

He gets part of it, he's only 10 so we have to go slow. He really loves it though. He's got some pretty insightful ideas, all things considered.

Yeah. The end of that episode was so damn creepy.

That's cool. My ten-year-old cousin is also a big fan. Like, he pointed out continuity that I didn't notice.
