I hope Aidan's birthday gets better, Deena.

I forgot to say earlier, good luck with the move, Sparky!!!

Go Em! What a good girl -- and what a scary thing. My mom is freaky about keeping all her pills up and away from the kids, but she's their grandmother. I'm sure Jay didn't even think about it.

{{{Deena}}} and {{{Aidan}}} Poor guy. I hope he feels better.

{{Deena & Aidan}} And Aidan, Stop Beating Up Mom!

I take it that hellacious tornado that ripped through your state was near neither you nor askye?

Awful stuff with many fatalities. About 250 miles north of me, and probably over 200 south of askye. Long state and it cut through the middle.

Morning, All.

Very glad to hear that you and askye (and assorted family) escaped unscathed, Laura.

{{Deena}} & {{ Aidan }} (keeping a little distance since he's not in a touching mood, apparently). Hope the day improves.

P-C, excellent advice you've received, so I'll just wish good luck!

{{Cindy & DH & kids}} Sounds like a horrifically loooong week(end). Lots of strong-immune-system-ma for you guys!

And...I'm sure there were more, but my cup runneth over with gronk. Brain no worky.

So, I seem to have dropped about 7 lbs so far on this diet (and that's with no workout Fri, Sat, or Sun - someone superglued my ass down in front of taped TV and reading I needed to catch up on, totally beyond my control). But the money, and the labor, and the glayvin. Oy! So much cheaper to just stay fat! And after all the time in the store (only an hour and a half this week, we're getting it down to a system), the register didn't like my check. We stood there an extra seven-ish minutes while the checker and then her manager tried, over and over, to get the machine to read my check (manager finally had to run it through a different register). Bad enough for us, I felt really bad for the 2 guys behind us with about seven items each.

And one of the drafters brought in chocolate cake today. Bastidge.

Happier than you've been earlier in the day Birthday, Aidan!

Go, Epic! Too bad it is so hard to convince ourselves that Success is sweeter than cake.

And in case I didn't mention it before, job~ma to you, Askye!

As for me, I had happy fun blood work taken this morning. And that would be me deleting a two-paragraph rant on how much not fun phlebotomy is for me.

for billytea:

Puggle on Uglyoverload.com

you were just taking about puggles so when I saw this, I thought of you.

Ick, sorry for the blood sucking, WindSparrow. I know the rant. Does it include how they take so much more than they actually need?

Job~ma askye. I hope it all works out perfectly.

Hi Epic, my your font is looking thinner!

I've been to the gym 3 days in a row, first thing in the morning. Sore now.

OK, I need some work on my action photos, but here is my baby making 2 points in his JV game. [link]

Rather than completely denying myself, I got a small bit of frosting on my finger and just had that. Made the brain stop screaming (at least momentarily) about the sugar that it both wanted and deserved.

Oh, poor Windi. I'm lucky that I find it kind of interesting. And that every phlebotomist since the first (who stuck me about four times, then used a butterfly needle in my hand. Jerk), has gotten a vein within two tries. Last time I went I looked down at my chest and noticed I was wearing my T-shirt with The Count from Sesame Street and pointed it out to the guy. "Hey, Vampire!"

Hee!

You Inspiration, you! Well, tonight I've got Curves and a dance class, tomorrow two dance classes, Wednesday I'm lazy with just one dance class. Maybe I'll inspire, too.

OK, I need some work on my action photos, but here is my baby making 2 points in his JV game.

Nice. He looks like a shot from One Tree Hill.

No, really, it's a compliment

Over an hour since my last post, and nothing new in here? What is this, Bitches or an oil painting?

ION: I'm sick of protein and if I never see another spinach leaf in my life it will be too soon.

That is all.
