Also animal shelters.

I watched the Bears actually win a game and had fun watching my cat chew on the ribbon she pulled from the tree. Is that an accomplishment-filled day?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I watched the Bears actually win a game

The Chicago Bears? A football game? Aw crap it must be the apocalypse.

They finally managed to win two games in a row, for the first time this season! And, best of all, Devin Hester got two touchdowns, one as an offensive player and one on a return.

Heh. That means the Saints lost.

I read a really depressing article about the crap that Chicago fans gave New Orleans fans at the playoff game last year. All kinds of Katrina-related stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, how sad are the old towels? Homeless shelters can usually use towels that aren't on their last legs.

The ones I'm going to get rid of are on their last legs. I can't even remember when I got them. Trash they are! I don't have that much storage space that I'm going to keep them for cleaning.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was up and ready to go to church when mac put himself back in bed because he did not feel good. An hour later (during which I paid bills and went through a paper pile) and some kid's ibu and he felt good enough to try to sneak in 2 videos when I said 1 AND lie to me. then tantrum. we made it to lunch with the brother/uncle - then some playground time and buying new car seat. now back home. he is watching the video he tried to watch before and I am letting out the hem in two pairs of his pants.

I need to cook some tonight for the coming week, but I can do more of that tomorrow.

Have been working through the TiVo backup, and I've just recently dragged my ass into the shower. Doing laundry, and cleaned the kitchen floor. There's supposed to be a snowstorm tonight, so we're hunkering down...

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

Heh. That means the Saints lost.

Yup. At least now I don't have to root for the Cowboys. That would just be too weird.

JZ, regardless of whether National or Dulles is closer to Falls Church (my feeling is, it depends on where in Falls Church), the more important thing may be that you're unlikely to find a direct flight from San Fran to National, whereas Dulles, they exist. And given the delays and annoyances of airlines lately, surely your boss would prefer to avoid connections? I hate Dulles, but I generally prefer no connection, too (price being more of my issue, more often, sadly)
