Ha...Lisah is a smart white chick from Hampden. But tell me, Lisah, do you need to know this shit? (Because Donald Worden, the "Bolander" of the Homicide book used to say all the time:"I'm a dumb white boy from Hampden. I don't need to know this shit.") Ned Beatty was totally right, btw. They should have given Stan smoochies...Don Worden is totally still with the Homicide secretary he was with in the book. Which is weirdly romantic, don't you think?

See, Jensen Ackles is another guy who lots of women find hott, while I don't see it. He's not *ugly,* mind you, but I don't see the hott.

It's not his features, which are, admittedly, stunningly pretty (to the point of occasionally sliding into the creepily uncanny valley section of the pretty parade), so much as the way he is in motion. And, honestly, the moments when I find him hottest are actually the ones where he looks most like a complete dork.

Same here. Plei and I have had conversations about it, go figure. I can look at him and say "Yes, very handsome", but he doesn't push my buttons.

Travel~ma, Sparky!

Emily, hon, listen to Kristin, for she is wise. Even if she's feeling unwell right now.

Feel better, vw!

I hope you feel better, vw.

I got the BESTEST Valentine's card from Ailleann! It's got Jack Sparrow & Wil Turner on the front and says, "One for you, one for me." DH has dubbed it the best card ever!

My friend gave birth to a teeny peanut of a little boy this morning--he's only 5lbs but healthy and doing fine. I'm going to have to go out and buy her some preemie sleepers because I don't think she's got anything that will fit a baby that small.

Congratulations to your friend, Cashmere!

Phew! Skippy, skimmy, but I caught some things:

1) Buffista babies are Teh Funny.

2) I agree with Kristin in regards to your situation, Emily. Teaching would be sad to lose you. I am barely making it with MY challenges, and I've only got 83 students and a very supportive administration. If I was dealing with students like these in an environment like yours, I would be handling it worse than you, I'm sure. Go, find a job that sucks less, and educate!

3) Meara, I understand the appeal of good kisses. I still think fondly of that one date I had with that one girl that was a total mistake (I posted about it here and received much counseling) simply because those kisses - which shouldn't have happened, but did - were unbelievably good. Mmm. Kisses. I want kisses.

Timelies! Cindy, I hope you're feeling better. Love and hugs to everyone. I read every post, but was constantly attacked for snuggles by a bored Aidan and so didn't get to meara properly. I do remember meara kissing, vw tummy attacking, sj snowed in with roses, pants on heads, sexy juliana (like anyone could forget) and SPN, also really expensive boots and Lisah having no heat but it's fixed, electricity off and on, and other weather related posting.

ION, Greg took today and tomorrow off for anniversary celebrating and sleeping in after. We had a babysitter for this evening and real live dinner plans. However, the mayor is asking people to stay off the road due to dangerous conditions. I, not believing in a real live date until it happened, had an angus roast beef, fresh green beans and baby yukon potatoes in the fridge, so all is not lost. It will be a nice dinner, baby-snuggling, television watching night.

IOON, for those of you who haven't seen my LJ lately where I drug myself to whine before elevating, I've broken another toe! At least this one is on the left foot. I swear, I don't think breaking 9 bones over the course of the last ahem years, mostly for falling down, is normal.

Gris so needs to get The Wire Season 4 when it comes out. Because the lead that year was cop turned math teacher. And he and his class had an...interesting discussion about marital *intimacy*.

Yay for baby!

Cash, I was physically incapable of NOT buying those cards. There were four designs, and I was really torn about which one to send to who.

(someone else got the really naughty one, but I don't want to spoil it...)

But tell me, Lisah, do you need to know this shit?

Sometimes I really, really don't!

And he and his class had an...interesting discussion about marital *intimacy*.

That was so, so, so wrong.
