Hell, I don't even remember most of the semester I went through when my father died. I must have done adequately, because, hey, I did graduate.

Bury yourself in pillows and a husband who's grateful you're home for the rest of the week, then unbury yourself and see what the world looks like.

Aimee, to cheer you for a moment, go back a bit and look at the picture of Cashmere jello wrestling. That was definitely cheering (and disturbingly hot).

I keep thinking I want to own my own home again, then I remember what a hassle it was, and I don't think I've got the energy for it. Not all by myself. I can't afford anything but a hovel in my area anyway, and doing all the fix-up on our old farmhouse has gotten all those romantic ideas of fixing up an old house right out of my system.

libkitty, I shall go out on the end of the Grand Canyon Skywalk and spin around for you! Then you will have been there in spirit. I cannot, however, get you a raise in spirit. My powers of transferance are limited that way.

Now you just hush on up about that.

Yes. This.

I also like the phrase.

I got a small cherry pie today on a whim. Owen took one bite and spit it out like it was poisoned. Must be a texture thing--he didn't care for the filling.

He's obviously a changling.

We'll see if he goes for the special order sugar cream pie we ordered for his father tomorrow. If he refuses that, we're taking him in for a DNA test.

I am willing to come by and eat Owen's cherry pie for him.

He can have my lima beans.

I had my therapist test me for ADD today, and, of course, I have it. I need to call my PCP now and make an appointment to talk about meds. I really getting sick of the feeling of not being able to get out of my own way, so it is time to do something about it.

Good for you, sj!

Welcome home, Ginger!

Nice tree, Hil. Looks well planted.

I'm thinking about dipping a toe into homeowning waters. I've been tired of renting for a few years now, and I have savings that almost add up to a decent down-payment. Prices around here are pretty scary, though.

Thanks, -t. I just called and made the appointment for next Tuesday. I hate making those phone calls.

TCG and I had a not fun conversation about home ownership the other day. We're both sick of being renters, but buying a house seems overwhelming to me. It is so much cheaper to rent where we are, so I think we're going to put it off for a couple of years and try to save some more money in the meantime.

Em did the same thing this weekend.

I ate an entire pumpkin pie while she was hating the cherry pie.

And everyone?

Thank you so much for all of the love and support and ~ma and brackets and just everything. It's awesome knowing how much I am loved and that while it sucks right now, I have you guys to lean on.

In Mom News - She went to work this afternoon and has laid off the Ativan. I am very glad about his.

Kids today, hating pie, what is the world coming to?

Boy do I ever understand hating making those phone calls! That is awesome that you have done it.
