Also yay? DYLAN SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!! He woke up briefly, once, around 1:30, but put himself right back to sleep. OMG HE IS SO AWESOME. I think I'll get him a present.

Yay, Dylan! I hope he continues to do this.

{{{Aimee}}} I'm sorry you're having a bad day.

::points and nods:: What Jessica said up there w/r/t YAY/BOO.

Good boy, Dylan!

Vortex and Sox, my niece has turned down the Echols thing at UVA to take UNC-CH's money and attend college there. I'm happy for her, and UNC was pretty much always at the top of her list.

unpossible.

Excellent choice. Although having to choose between UVA and UNC is one of the good dilemmas.

You think you could find a spot for it in your house? Because I'm thinking I'll make two of them due to the way I'll have to order the fabric.

I'd MAKE room!!

YAY Dylan!! What's that sweet boy? You don't want a present from your mommy? You want what? OH! What a sweet boy you are! You want mommy to buy herself something. Something shiny? Like a piece of jewelry? OH! You sure do know your mommy, I'm sure she'd love an electronic gadgety-something instead. Smart boy.

I thought you might :). I actually have a really cool plan about how I want to make it, but I won't share so there is a little surprise.

Of course, you know how good I am at actually getting projects done, so by the time I finish, it might be a surprise! I'm planning on at least ordering the fabric soon, though.

Well, I am back at work, having stayed home with unspecified stupid fever and general aches and blah-itis.

Still not really awake, but pretty sure I'm better.

Fever dreams are freaky. I can't remember specifics, but I do recall waking up at some point in the night, drenched in sweat and saying "What the hell was THAT?!" Then passing directly back out.

Absolutely! [Now all eyes turn to my nephew next in line... he is not academically inclined and is looking for a fluff major at East Tenn. State so that he won't be bothered with too much work so he can minor in Bluegrass [one cannot major in Bluegrass, apparently]. At least, this is what he is driving his mother crazy with right now.]

Bwah! Empress ftw!

Warren Wilson College in Asheville has some good music majors... and a strong eco program, should he feel the need for a backup course of study.

eta: granted, there's the work-component that goes with it.
