I recently found a college friend on Facebook and discovered that he and his wife have four daughters named Hannah, Mikaela, Eowyn, and Elliott. To me, those sounds like kids from four different families. They're expecting a baby boy in a few months, so I wonder what they'll come up with for him...

I've been let down by the red sudafed. I'm still all sneezy, sniffly, stuffy.
Now what?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It just started raining hard enough that I heard it through the closed windows and over my TV.

yay rain! Except I'm over it almost.
Raining here today too. Rainy days are good days to be sick.

Now it's almost sunny. I guess that was the rain's parting shot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hannah, Mikaela, Eowyn, and Elliott
Wow, those really don't go! Except for each following a trend of the birth year, I bet.
So I went to Whole Foods, where they didn't have the cutie veggies, but I did get an awesome hat-n-onesie set. And it wasn't crowded because 12:30 on a Sunday is like the crack of dawn downtown, I forgot. Also, the non-food is upstairs from the groceries, so there could have been lines that I didn't see.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just donated to the organization taking care of Vick's dogs. They take care of all kinds of abused animals. I'm all PMSy and cried like a baby.
On the political front, I'm moved toward Obama, and it's difficult to fully articulate why, except that I'm desperate for a less polarized US, and an ambassador to the rest of the world who makes me feel proud of my country, again. Whomever wins inherits a very damaged country, and it will take decades to repair. First thing in my head is our standing in the rest of the world, and I think that's boosted tenfold just by electing him, right on the first day.

seems they took all of the drugs out of it and left the red. Hot shower w/lots of steam?
Susan - we have a lot of veg cookbooks, but the one even my red-meat-eating husband loves the best is Quick Vegetarian Pleasures. I need to buy a new one because the binding is gone on ours.

Dude. That is pretty weird.
I'm wondering what else I hsould get for the superbowl party. I have chex mix, cupcakes, guac, chips, carrots, salsa, wings, and beer. And possibly soda. I tasked people with bringing beer and soda. What else do I need?
Elisha and ARCHIBALD? And Peyton? Good lord.
I read that article on Michael Vick's dogs, and was torn between being a puddle of "AWWWW!" and thinking "$900K is a lot of money to spend on some dogs, dang"
I think in my crazy ideal world, Obama would be prez, and all pretty nice-speechifying figurehead, and Clinton would be all Dick Cheney-esque VP, being the power behind the scenes and not afraid of people being mad at her. And then if he (godforbid) got assassinated, she would do a whole LBJ "you have to pass this because he would have wanted this law!" thing.
