"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Trust my rage

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.

You're so mean!

Sounds good.

Thrive to spite them

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.

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, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Speaking of weight loss, here is a converstion between DH and myself yesterday, whicle taking a lunch break from painting.

DH: (Handing me a giant taco from Henry's Tacos.) I also got cookies for dessert.
Me: Wow, dessert at lunch. I guess we're not even pretending to be on a diet anymore.
DH: Oh, I"m still on a diet. Just not one to lose weight.
Me: Yeah, I'm on that diet, too. The "I Will Eat Whatever I Need to Quell The Panic About Finishing The House and Moving" diet.
DH (popping a cookie in his mouth) Yeah, that's the one.

I wanna go!

Good diet, Robin. I think I was on that diet finishing the book.

Did I mention my copyeditor loved it? Actual words used: "brilliant" and "most satisfying thing I've read lately (work or otherwise)."

Emmett continues to be a pill, but on the way back fromlunch he went into old man mode and muttered:

"We've gotta get me back home for my estrogen treatment."

"Uh, estrogen isn't for men."

"Who said I was a man?"
