Any other big sisters out there kind of feeling the urge to give Emaryn an "atta girl"? Just me?
Which is not to say that I don't feel for Gud, but it's nice to see her taking advantage of the perks of the job.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

Emaryn is definitely learning the art of baiting her brother into getting in trouble.

Last night Leif decided, with encouragement from his sister, that trying to throw a large rock over the car would be a good idea. We're replacing the windshield today.
I think you need to channel his energies in a useful apprenticeship - say building demolition.

Punishingly Intricate
I loved the Brita sponsorship this year focusing on plastic water bottle waste, and I have ridic love for Bob - but the product placement this year was a bit much, right?
It was insane! Fortunately, I watch on a delay so I can fast forward through a lot of that. I was usually able to watch the whole 2-hour episodes in, like, 40 minutes.
I liked Bob for getting those big guys to do yoga but I hated how he was so pro the Boy's Club.

Happy Birthday to my sweetie!
Also, and completely unrelatedly, does anyone here speak Arabic, or have otherwise an opinion on the best way to go about acquiring a smattering? I'm going to email Fay as well.My friend J. spent his first two years in the US Army learning Arabic and then the rest of his time as a translator. I can put you in touch with him if you'd like? He's a great guy.

Right now I think he want to be a robotics engineer. Yeah, it's a bit ominous.

Eesh, Gud. My brother and I were responsible for a lot of broken glass. It got to the point that when we'd call the glass store, we didn't even have to give dimensions. We were on file. (The southwest corner of the house was all windows. And along the driveway where we played all sorts of ball games.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What’s that rolling along the floor? That’s right... an eyeball!
These splendid cat toys are made with clean recycled sweatshirt fabric and other recycled scraps. Stuffed with plenty of minty organic catnip made in New England these eyeballs are a hit! Big enough not to roll into the cavern under your stove or fridge but light enough to bat around for hours. They are kitten tested, perfect to chew, kick, bat and pounce on.

An outline of fair use as it may apply to the Harry Potter Lexicon case, from...MTV. No, seriously.
Since expert witnesses are scheduled to testify today, no one's expected to cry on the stand. t sigh
