Back from the wilds of NH, having foiled the wily newt and the sticky mud.
None of my friends have this many newts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm back from my blind date. We went to MOMA, and it went very well, so yay!

Because books.
Oh, that's a perfect first date, Tom. Gives you a chance to talk, and something to talk about if conversation lags, plus lots of awesome all around. Yay!
Happy, happy birthday, Ticky! Your fourth year starts ... NOW!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yay Tom!

YAY Scola!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY Tom!
This weekend has sucked donkey doo. Yesterday was an annoying birthday party for one of mac's friends. A "party place" for kids where we had to keep moving around and it was loud and I thought poorly organized and went over 3 hours - also not accessible easily by train or bus.
Then mac woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and this morning managed to NOT keep down a banana. We clearly bailed on the birthday party he had today and FINALLY about an hour ago he conked out and had a nap. I feel confident in proclaiming him not the world's best patient.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awesome, Tom!

I'm done with my taxes! All I have to do is copy them tomorrow, and then I will be able to mail them ONE WHOLE DAY EARLY!
eta: Ugh. Poor Mac, and poor Rebecca.

oh msbelle, poor you and poor mac!
We woke up early, had an omelette and went to The Songkran Festival at the Thai Buddhist Temple not far from our house (in the picture, which I didn't take). There was the best chicken satay I've ever had, plus a cool building with awesome statues.
I think we must have looked confused because an ICE officer stopped to tell us what was happening.
