Happy birthday, Casper!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Thanks, Sue and Aimée!
Off to see what I can find on that site.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm loving the interview, paperdol! I'm glad SJR seems to have gotten the concept and is focusing on the connection aspect of the book.
I gave a copy of Vampire People to a friend of mine here and she loves the book. She's the one that had gastric bypass and had joined an online support group before the surgery and she told me she can totally see the whole thing with her online group that I see in b.org.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
9AM, and Word has crashed twice. It's going to be a lovely day.
Is it sad that my lunch is the big event of the day that I'm looking foward to? It's whole wheat orzo, dried cherries, arugala, and feta cheese, to which I've added ground pork, mushrooms, and onions.

I have to go by a Borders to buy my first textbook, and what am I going to be doing about notebooks for note-taking, anyway? Must go by a Staples, too, then! Life suddenly seems so complicated.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Casper woke up with a wet bed (unusual for her) so we started the day with laundry. Now she's at school (second day) and they are going to do a ceremony called "walking around the sun" where she carries a globe and walks around the circle once for each year of her life. mr. flea will be there to talk about milestones and show pictures. Apparently this is a Montessori thing.
After school ends at 12, to the Museum with grandparents, then we'll have her (family only) birthday party when they get back. She is getting clothes, Tinkerbell panties, a bad animated movie about horses with Bryan Adams music called "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," a bike helmet, and a bike, and several other things that I don't know what they are yet. Seriously, a zillion presents, and they are only from immediate family (parents, 2 aunts, 3 sets of grandparents.) Imagine if we'd invited her whole class to a birthday party like some people did!

I hope not, because I'm looking forward to lunch, too! I have chicken and linguine in garlic and olive oil, pine nuts, peas, summer squash, tomatoes, green onion, and parmesan, with fresh blueberries for dessert.
