HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUG!!! May you have a fantabulous year.
paperdol, w00t! And what Susan said - if a book gets reviewed, I get interested, whether the review is positive or negative. There are so many books that for one to merit a print review makes it special right away.
Raq - does mal have the fever/not-eating/horrible in the afternoon thing? or the snuffly thing?
The first one. One of the twins at daycare was the vector. Ah well. Looks like he'll be better in time for graduation.
I have actually made good use of the days off. You know how work expands to fill the time allotted for it? Yeah. I've done about 12 loads of laundry, vaccuumed the whole house, mopped and polished the wood floors, organized the closets, cleaned the bathrooms, moved some bookshelves, deep-cleaned the kitchen, and even laundered and scrubbed down the car seat. I'm bushed.
Now it's computer-based stuff, which I am hampered in by the fact that when R arrived from Greece, he apparently threw away all my papers. So I can't claim a couple rebates, or claim the moving damages. Grr Argh.

Happy birthday (again!) vw.
Oh, buffdiving, you give me such joy. Reposted because it made me laugh like a lemur on valium:
Lena: Not to insult any members of any religion, but the door-to-door thing reminds me of a story my ex-ex-boss used to tell, about his college years. The man lived with a hairy, overweight male student from Peru in a double-wide trailer, where they drank beer and dared each other to do the dishes on a weekly basis.
One day, my boss-to-be was having some nice vegging time when BOOM, his roommate came flying through the front door. "Quick!" the roommate says. "Grab all the beer bottles you can find and put them all around the room!" With this, the roommate bolts into the back.
My boss-to-be was puzzled but willing to go along with it, so he gathered up a few dozen beer bottles and put them in random places around the room. Moments later, the hairy, overweight, Peruvian roommate comes bounding back into the living room, clad only in tiger-skin bikini underwear. He proceeds to strew the place with a year's worth of Playboy issues.
My boss, totally nonplussed, asks what the hell is going on. His roommate grabs a bottle of whiskey and shouts, "Don't you know? THE MORMONS ARE COMING!" He then proceeds to dump half the bottle of whiskey on himself before the doorbell rings. At that, he flings open the door, revealing himself in all his splendor to the astonished mild-mannered folk on their doorstep, and cries, "Welcome! We've been WAITING for you!"
They fled in terror.
Happy birthday VW!!!
Lots of ~ma to your friend Daisy.
Congrats to getting your book reviewed in EW, paperdol, I'm sure they'll love it.
I had my dr's appointment today to talk about Adult ADD. My primary care is going to get me a referral to someone to do an evaluation, she said what I told her all sounded like ADD, but the bipolar made it a bit harder, especially with the medicine. She said that if I weren't bipolar, she'd feel fine prescribing me something if needed; however, since I have other mediciation and issues she wants my shrink to be consulted on everything and have him make the determination about medicine. She said that my idea to go to therapy even if I can't take medicine for ADD sounded like a good idea. The office will get back to me with a referal.
That sounds like a smart approach, askye.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VW!!!
I am really looking forward to the new EW, now. Review, whee!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VW!!!
paperdol, the review is going to kick ass, I know it.
Interview~ma for meara and JZ!!
Job~ma, MM!
Juliana, from now on whenever I see things like these I'm going to think of you. But I probably won't see that many things like that.
UM. Yeah. Wow. Yikes?
I love Lena's story. It makes me laugh like a loon every time.
I don't like the polish I picked for my pedicure (an orangey brown that looked more dark brown in the bottle). Wax was ouchy, but that's to be expected. The woman who did it was very nice to the first timer. Any aftercare tips?
Grapenuts:
My "niece" called last night to see if I got the new Potter (I did but waiting to read until on 5 hour flight Monday). She's all into it. So cute!
I was getting ready to scold my self for not doing much so far today - when I suddenly realized I've been paying bills while on the computer and watching tv. go me.
