Oh, earthquake people, I hope you're safe and alright.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it's beth's birthday. Happy birthday!
Also, my sister is here for Passover, after she stayed for another 24 hellish hours in her base. My dad drove to pick her up, since every few hours the army changed the vacation policy. She's sleeping now, and spent most of the time yelling at us, bus clearly happy to be here and yelling at us. We could hardly keep a straight face. It's a great feeling.
And now, I have to go outside and take pictures of flowers. Don't ask.
Edit: Good luck Nilly, and Happy Passover if you celebrate it!
Did not wake up for the earthquake. Nor, to the best of my knowledge, did the dog.
New Madrid! New Madrid!!
Note that, being Illinois, that's pronounced New MAD-rid. Though they keep showing it on the map, I've yet to discover what cracked out pronunciation the state has come up with for the epicenter town of West Salem.
Happy Birthday, beth of the excellent profession and great name!
And me for erythromycin
I did not know this. That's the one I can't tolerate.
West Salem.
That'll be Whist SayLEEM to you, missy.
I am searching for the proper opportunity to say, to somebody who celebrates Passover, "All your chometz are belong to me," but that opportunity has not yet arisen. Just, let the record show: I stand at the ready to eat people's cookies for them.
"All your chometz are belong to me,"
HA! ::writes this down to use on DH::
Considering that the last big New Madrid earthquake pretty much destroyed the capital city of the territory, Kaskaskia (it redirected the Mississippi River right through the middle of town, leaving most of it the only town in Illinois west of the Mississippi), I figure we have the right to pronounce New Madrid any damn way we want! (Of course, that doesn't account for us mangling the rest of our cities names--Cairo, Marsailles, etc.)
Oh, and happy birthday, beth!!!
How is Cairo pronounced here?
I finally got my kitchen all pesadik. And then realized that I needed to eat breakfast. The last bit of a box of Cheerios, in a plastic bowl, because I am not washing anything else today.
