They're totally wicked cool, right? [link] Also, hair's kinda cute today. I should actually *do* it more often.
Muy adorable.
Hec is curled up with Matilda and Emmett watching the Avatar season finale right now while I make risotto
I had to growl at Emmett constantly: "Quit playing with her hands while she's asleep! If you wake her up, you can calm her down."
Whereas he was in his usual high mischief mode: "She's so tiny! And her head is sooooo big. I can make her hands do anything."
::makes her punch the air in her sleep::
Jack Devine sounds like a hell of a man.
He had quite the life. He was very sweet but also a total, stereotypically Irish curmudgeon. He'd go from roaring, "I don't know what the HELL you're talking about!" to the sweetest, almost childlike giggle in a minute. Great cook, and I've got his awesome beef stew recipe. (He used cuts of steak and Italian sausage. Mmmmm.)
One of the best things I ever did for EM was to push her to finally, finally take that trip to Ireland with her Dad when he was in his eighties. Very important for both of them.
He really did believe in equal rights for everybody (blacks, women, gays) long before the country did. And he didn't just believe it - he worked hard to make it true in his lifetime.
Not a saint by any means, but a life well lived.
Nora, I think you could totally rock the angled bob. I was talking to Jallah's (one of Emmett's teammates last year) mom the other day and she had a nice angled bob that went from below the corner of her mouth and steeply angled up, but covering her ear that worked very well with her round features.

So much job~ma for Matt, beth! He deserves a much better position, in a place that doesn't work the shit out of him -- and gives him a little more time at home with you.
How'd the new doctor turn out, Kristin? It's always nervous-making for me to meet a new doctor and hope it's going to be someone I can click with.

Almost done with my assignments and only want to smite 2 out of 4 of my teammates.
Ya know, I like numbers and this Stat class is killing me. I can't image how someone who doesn't like numbers would survive.
My next class should be MUCH easier. It is Project Management. Gee, what do I do all day - I work for an engineering consulting company. That is all we do.

Okay, my bitching about Christmas sort of fades when I think about meeting the neicephews and fucking with them.
Peace~ma for EM and her family.
Job~ma to Aimee and Matt.
ION, Dan's mom seems to love me. She gives me things - a roll-top desk, brownies, and a moccasin-making kit. She gave me a teeny tiny dictionary - from another room while we were rearranging stuff to fill in the gap where the desk was, she heard me exclaim happily over something Daniel was showing me. She said, "Whatever it is, it's Andi's. What is it? Nevermind, just give it to her."
Also, I have now made a moccasin. She gave me the kit because the moccasins in question was going to be too big for her. They are too small for me, but should fit my mother quite well. My mom had some that she wore everywhere when I was a kid, so I think these will make a nifty prezzie for my mom.
Aimée - What up, Long Beach!
Um... curious... are you in Long Beach, CA? Visiting? Moving? Sorry, still new here, dunno everything yet.
Anyhow, hey, if you are... I live here :) Welcome to the LBC yo! How long you in the "International City"?
am not Vortex, but will answer for her--she's just visiting, she's normally an eastcoaster with me!
Long Beach is the "International City"? Huh. For all of my years that I was in California, all I know for certain is that Long Beach has the Grand Prix and I love it for that reason alone. With the dolphin statuary.

Mom, meara's bogarting the Vortex!
Moooooom, Vortex is also bogarting the meara!
