askye, I'm sorry your landlord is being a PITA.

In totally unrelated news, Christopher is on the mend, but still home sick. Right now, he's in the living room singing, "I love you. I love you. I love you you you. You love I love you."

I am slain.

Catching up ...

Plei's hair is wonderful, Jilli and Cass are splendid, Em is adorable. Not news, but repeating what's been said.

And, considering Em's parents, she may well create a zombie army ... PINK zombies, possibly with tiaras.

The problem is keeping them pink...even if the paint doesn't flake, the skin it's on does.

The tiaras, however, are no problem. Staple gun.

sometimes I feel like I need to be more bold with my makeup. I don't wear a lot generally (most days, it's moisturizer, eyeliner and powder and I'm done) Eyeshadows are dark and or muted. Maybe someone will help me with make up for the F2F.

Are you willing to do gold liquid liner? Because, damn, you'd look good with gold liquid liner.

Cass looks gorgeous all gothed up! (And a little like Jennifer Tilley which I don't think I'd noticed before.)

I saw a certain recent picture of the latter, and my first thought was, "Huh. She looks like Cass there."

Vampire pictures! Yay!

Nose at the point where tasting doesn't happen.

Need more decongestants. Suspect pollen warring with cold for Nasal Domination.

But my hair is cute.

So, there is that.

No more germs are allowed in Cindy's house or anywhere near the Topic! family.

Sweet little boy you got there Cindy.

Thanks, Daisy. He is awfully sweet. I often think if the rest of the species were like him, I'd like humans a whole lot more.

He's had a stomach bug, but the worst of it seems to have passed, and it was more drawn out than I'd like, but not nearly as intense as some of the shorter ones are.

Having three kids though, when one gets a stomach bug -- I end up holding my breath for a week, to see who else is going to get it, and as each new person falls, that clock resets, so I really appreciate your decree. I think the germs should heed it, or face your wrath.

And I got plenty of wrath to spare today. Germs! You are on notice!

Saw a comic in yesterday's paper where someone was accused of having had "cranky flakes" for breakfast.

I've had days like that; sounds like DJ may have, too.

I was fine on the drive in. But after, like 5 minutes at my desk the pissiness began. It doesn't help that my office feels like its 40 degrees. It's only 75 outside. Can't we just have a comfortable room temperature? I should not need a coat at the end of March in Texas.

Everyone is so pretty!

I started the day in a fine mood. Then I had a call with a Most Annoying Co-worker and now I'm completely irritated. Grr. On the bright side, I got As in both classes I just finished!
