Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I know my mention of taking the PSATS (I don't know if they still have those, for all I can remember, I took the regular SATs as a sophomore) prompted T to sign up for whatever version exists now.

She needs to take the PSAT and make sure that she checks the box to be considered for the National Achievement program. If she does well, it gets her on the radar for colleges. At Howard, if she becomes a finalist, she gets a full ride for four years (books, tuition, fees, housing, meal plan).

you first!

Well, let's wait for the tax return to come in. We have until 6/16.

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

Thanks guys. I was looking at my shitty cable box and I am now paying something like $10-12 a month, and I will soon have been doing that for 5 years. So it seems worth it to me, since I was thinking about tivo anyway, and Bob has an HD set in South Bend.

Wow, sara, that's awesome to hear about T. Go her! She has whole bunches of random internet strangers rooting for her!

I think that cooking a vegan meal would be an enjoyable challenge, i mean, it certainly wouldn't stop me from inviting a vegan to dinner.

Well, sure. I've made vegan dinners. That's not an issue. It's just if we were dating a LOT, and eating dinner together many nights a week, and breakfast, and going out to restaurants, or if we contemplated living together...gah!

Also, Hil--I don't WANT my cupcakes light and fluffy! I like them dense and moist!

Speaking of cupcakes, this week is apparently Cupcake Week on the Martha Stewart Show.

So my gmail account has a little red text at the top that says "New! Gmail Custom Time." I clicked on it and got a 404. Who wants to bet it's a forthcoming 4/1 joke?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sorry I've been absent so long. Very busy at work. But the upside is that I get to go to New Orleans in two days! Which is YAY! except that I'm all freaked out about leaving the kids for so long.

Timelies and good morning, Buffistas.

Good morning, Shir! You're earlier than usual, tonight!

Last night I went to bed at a decent hour. I was so proud...except then I still slept in late this morning. Doh!

But I went to the taco truck I found out about TWICE today. SO delicious. I just wish they had the tacos al pastor like we had in Mexico, with the chunk of pineapple, and the yummy green sauce. But they were closer than anything else I've had. Mmmm.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gmail Custom Time is awsome!

Good morning, Shir! And goodnight to those in this hemisphere.
