I would love to visit the Greek Isles! My hairdresser goes there often. If she comes across a really good package, I'll let you know.

I love ShrunkenOldMan!Emmett!

Ok. Off to deliver sympathy card to a friend. Check y'all later!

Oh, Stephanie, that's scary. Hang in there, and go to the ER if you feel that's best. You know best. Really.

Daisy, how fun! YAY!

"Mind your peepers and respect your shrunken elders!"

BWAH!

Kristin, how are you feeling?

I made Emmett turn off the TV and now he's reading The Great Brain while heaving great sighs that he's been cut off from the electronics.

Then I get to take him out of the house to do laundry and shopping and listen to him complain bitterly that he's not at home eating ice cream and watching The Simpsons.

To keep myself entertained I'll concoct a series of retroactive punishments for all his complaining and announce randomly, "Oh, and because you're being a total pill, you can't play on Nintendo for the rest of the day."

"What? When was that a rule?"

"I just made it up."

Then, of course, he'll let Matilda sleep on his chest for an hour and I'll have to give him ice cream and we'll watch The Simpsons.

Thanks everyone for the support - Ellie's fever hasn't gone any higher. I'll take her to her doctor tomorrow unless her fever goes higher. FOr now, we are eating animal crackers and drinking 7-Up.

"I just made it up."

You're so mean!

Ellie's fever hasn't gone any higher. I'll take her to her doctor tomorrow unless her fever goes higher. FOr now, we are eating animal crackers and drinking 7-Up.

Sounds good.

I've lost 4.25 lbs! Approximately! I mean,it's not a digital scale but the line was on the 3/4 mark.

This has been since October 1 and I've exercised (even if it's 10 minutes) almost every day since then. My clothes don't really feel looser but weight loss. And it's been really easy.

I've been using exercise tv on ON Demand and also exercisetv.tv. Nothing major and sometimes I've done some of the "sexy" work outs. So I can do this easily at home when I ever I want.

go you! I've been a lazy sack lately, I need to get back in shape like woah. My goal is to start krav maga in the new year.

You know what's really funny? Calling my brother in the middle of a Vikings/Bears game. He is really freaking hysterical. He'll be in the middle of a sentence, then start shouting at the television.

Omnis I'd like to apologize for the way I treated you in my dream this morning. I know you were only trying to help me get to work on time and it's not your fault Lord Voldemort started chasing me.

huh? Dream of me? wha?
::itsmoreinnocentthenitsoundsitsmoreinnocentthenitsounds::

um. O really? What was it about? What was I doing? Was I behaved (for once)?

IOdreamN, I had a doozy of one. We (by we, I mean many members from b.org...most I haven't met yet. Fay, your name is the only I recall) were playing this very strange game. Kinda like Wizard Battle Chess, but with life icons and checker type game pieces. And when things went dark in the game, life went dark. It was really strange. It needed whiteboard markers to keep score, which we always seemed to be out of. At the end, in the darkest hour, somehow, my out-of-box thinking saved the day. Then life returned to normal, and it was decided we should play again. Only, instead of rolling dice, moves would be determined by bowling. So we head to the bowling alley... whose entrance was through a Kragen car-mart type of store, who had a self-service tire machine where you could balance it and fill it with air or Nitrogen (which I've been looking for a Nitrogen tire place), and thought, as I walked past it to the bowling alley "golly, how am I supposed to get the tire off the car to get to self-serve kiosk?" Then I woke up. No saying how the "bowling frame score instead of dice rolling" went. Very vivid. Very strange.
