I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, go look at the jerboa pictures. Cute, nonthreatening and did I mention cute? [link]

I've got some mysterious brass statues that I now think are jerboas. Rodent looking things with ginormous ears. They are not represented as jumping, however, just standing there uprightish. I've got them watching over my cats' food dishes for what may very well be ironic effect.

That's great! I'd love to find something like that.

OK, a reappearance of the Civility Expert has once again made me hostile. I really wonder what it is about this guy that sets me off. I largely agree with him (and I'm pretty damned civil) and he sounds like a pleasent enough fellow. But I can't read or hear about him without feeling ill-tempered. It's just...odd.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Would this be an OK place to get started?

After lurking around quietly, I decided to take the plunge and join the fun.

Hi, all! I look forward to getting to know "everyone".

Is it Friday, yet???

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hello, Gadget Girl! Welcome. This is a perfectly good place to join the fun. Jump in and hang on! Pipe in and don't be alarmed if your posts occasionally get swept by in the flow. It can take a bit to get used to us! But welcome!

It feels like it should be Friday. My week is all jacked up because of the weather. Today's lesson was canceled because the student didn't come back to school this week (I dunno how this is an option, but ok). Yesterday's lesson was canceled because of the weather, so we're going to do it tomorrow. So not only will it not be Friday on Wednesday, but it will feel like Monday! I have temporal issues.

grrrr......

Everyone in my family is having a Very Cranky Day.

also. AM HUNGRY. What should I eat? There should be a reality show where a chef invades a house and makes something out of only what is already in the house. What they would have to work with for our house is: sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, ginger ale, crackers and sausage that smells like a combination of peas and feet.

also, msbelle, YAY!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was, though I've forgotten what it was called.

Hi Gadget Girl!

My week is messed up by weather. We were all home today (I did some telecommuting though) so it doesn't feel like a Tuesday. Tomorrow doesn't look good for getting out and about either. It doesn't seem nearly as bad as predicted though.

Dana, why did they never come to my house?
