Mooooom, juliana made me laugh my annoying squirrel laugh!

The avalanche warning is down to High, and decreasing danger. God willing and the creeks don't rise, it should be Serious by evening. Apparently, we got less rain (to stabilize the snow instead of destabilizing it) and it's supposed to get colder and turn to snow (which sounds like a bad thing to me, but apparently it's a very good thing in the quantities expected). What this all means, in much greater detail than anyone really wanted, is: I'm going home tonight!!!

I hate answering the phone.

I hate answering the phone too. I don't even like answering my own phone, let alone my work phone.

In strange and wondrous news , I have spent most of today cleaning my house. The wondrous part - is although I see details that I will not get to 'til Monday at the earliest , I feel more in control than I have in months. I wish I would remember this basic lesson.

glad to here you will be in less danger , libkitty.

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Don't you know everyone wants to laugh?
My dad said "Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"

YAY Aimee for besting algebra!

I didn't say this earlier -- but I 'm hoping that all goes well in your move. I know you'll be missed like craxy in CA but it sounds like you are doing something that will be great for you guys.
