Scond paper of the day done. Now to responding to discussion questions.

I need a break though. I'm taking two courses right now. A performing arts review course and managerial finance. Bouncing between the two is making my brain ache. Luckily the first ends on Monday.

No one wants to meet me in Boise? Awwww, come on.

You can propose Boise for the F2F next year, Suzi.

Poor Lilybean. Both my kids had wicked, hard to shake ear infections too. Makes for sad, grumpy toddlers. I hope her ears clear up soon.

Oh, and if you can, try to find chewable probiotics for her. This last time we used them and the kids loved them and there weren't any unhappy tummies.

Franny and Isaac are so damn cute and sparkly and bursting with personality!

Thanks, JZ. They are both pretty sunny kids, and for that I'm grateful. And as for the scarcity of pics, I promise that will be rectified.Uh, eventually.

Damn, I can't believe I missed the Lensman discussion last night. I had such a crush on Kimball K. Kinnison. Hey, I was 14, he had gray eyes and a gray leather outfit. It was the geek version of Elvis.

only reason I go to work in the morning is because there's a Starbucks drive-thru on the way.

That is the only thing I'm going to miss once I'm gone from work. I'm going to have to start training up a different Starbuck's crew.

So many beautiful babies! Seeing their pictures makes me want to see them all together, it would be better than even the most beautiful of botanical gardens. The flowers of Buffistae in all their glory.

Feh. I lost my post. Yay wine!

Just got back from picking up Brendon from his movie date. No longer doing the group movie thing. Just Brendon and the girlfriend. But he took her to see Aqua Teen.... movie. She doesn't watch the show and he mocked her lack of knowledge. He has much to learn.

Laura, I just voted, if you want to see if the thingie is working.

Owie. My fever's gone mostly down, but my shoulders are still aching. (My shoulders and back always hurt when I get a fever. I don't understand why.)

(Also, when I get sick, I get whiny. That one, I understand a bit better. It's not preventing me from posting this whiny post, though.)

Hil, my husband always has muscle aches when he has a fever. Can you take some ibuprofen or tylenol?

I love good strawberry ice cream, but my favorite fruit ice cream is peach. Haagen Daz used to have a great peach, but I think they stopped making it.

I'm having cinnamon toast and tea, and I don't even know why. I'm totally ready for bed.

I'm a sucker for pomogranate sorbet. That is the closest I get to fruity ice cream.

Mom and I are having TJ's feta and carmalized onion puff pastry thingies for dinner. Ten more minutes. So hungry.

Homework. Well, I took a nap. By accident. For about three hours. Oooops.

pomogranate sorbet.

That sounds yummy, but I'm afraid my favorite will always be Baskin-Robins Burgandy Cherry.

You guys have got to quit talking about food. I've had at least a bottle's worth of wine and you're making me hungry. I'm going to have to ask Brenda if there's any bagels left from breakfast. We already ate the cupcakes.
