I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Help! I have two more classes to get through, then I have to track down a working copier and get ready for tomorrow the things I was supposed to do today, then go shopping for whatever I remember off of my shopping list. Unfortunately, I'm falling asleep at my desk.

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

while still on the sinus meds I am now attacking the cold ick with spicy ginger chinese chicken. Also made a run to the drug store for more cough/congestion meds and pre-emtively more cough/cold meds for mac since I am pretty sure I have given him this.

I... oh god, okay, I need to find something on my iPod that will put me in a better mood, because if I get one more pissy e-mail, I will be taking Trudy's suggestion and prowling Chicago for some bitches to choke.

Theo, those snowy pictures are GREAT. I love the predawn one. The house is so orange!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

NYT questions the efficacy of exercise in keeping us healthy. Favorite quote:

I flove Gina Kolata. She's my favorite NYTer, because her whole job is challenging conventional wisdom. She writes mostly fitness and diet stuff now, but she used to have a more general science beat.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, that's hysterical.

It's totally funny after the fact.

No. No. I mean its awful. Truly.

It was only awful in the first few minutes.

Ok, it's hysterical when I picture those two beautiful children going at a box of kitty litter like a pair of puppies. And you catching them and being horrified.

To Olivia's credit--she didn't eat any. Just flipped it around like sand. Owen dumped the entire box on the ground.

Does litter taste like anything? Besides rocks or sand or something? I mean, the dog is going after the cat poo (which is like caviar to them) but what is the kid logic? Sprinkles? Cookie crumbs? Gravel? Mmmmmm sand? Is it salty or something?

I have NO idea. But Owen has been watching Chicken Run and everything he eats is "chicken feed." As I was washing his mouth out this morning, he kept saying, "chicken feed." I assume he was pretending the litter was chicken feed. He's also very tactile and likes gritty stuff in his mouth. Still. GROSS.

OK, I feel like Anya and the skating monkeys. Not that your children are monkeys. It's the illogic that's so funny. And the sheer horror.

No. My children are monkeys. Funny, illogical monkeys.
