People will pay you to cause them distress!"

Ah, memories... MiracleMan does a great dentist.

The movie of Little Shop sealed my crush on Steve Martin. (And also Rick Moranis. [What? Shut up.])

My Safari updated itself, and, while all my bookmarks are working, unlike Emily's, now it seems to have a non-consensual spellcheck. I am NOT pleased.

I just skipped over a jillion messages, but they all seemed to be about people's Christmas traditions, so I don't think I missed anything important. If I did, please linky.

I did, obviously, get all packed, and then all moved, and now I am all exhausted.

And we will NEVER get unpacked. Right now, the house looks like one of those houses that gets featured on Oprah when she does a show on hoarders, where there's a teeny-tiny path from the front door to the dining room, and to the bedroom, etc.

It's overwhelming. I'm actually glad to be at work.

But, yes, waking up to The Boy curled up next to me (or, generally, DIAGONALLY across the bed) is an utter, utter joy.

And we will never get unpacked.

Steph, it has always taken us 18 months+ to get unpacked. Sometimes we move and stuff is still in the boxes from the previous movers.

I hate this. I feel like I should be doing something, cleaning or something, but the whole point of my staying home is to fix my back which means...no doing stuff.

Gah, I feel so stupid.

::feels Joe::

no you don't

Add me to the list of genetically bad teeth. I brush, I floss, I rinse with Listerine, I get cleanings every 3 months and still I get cavities. Is not fair. Interestingly, my teeth are naturally straight and still white (at 37 and being a coffee drinker). You win some, you lose some. Poor Ellie.

Babe, did you call your mom to get a heating pad? Have you iced?

I have iced. I called mom's but she didn't answer. I have not called back, 'cause...well, mom.

Maybe try your dad?

Yeah, maybe. I Icy-Hotted it.

Is "Icy-Hotted" a word?

It's think it's the name of a hooker in Minnesota.
