Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For example, if kids caused a parent anxiety for their wellbeing than joy, that'd still work out.
Well, there's a lot of that too. I was being glib. Bonding hormones: keeping the species going since 250,000 BC!
Kat, Tree Pose Noah is adorable!! Speaking of which, do you want a copy of Itsy-Bitsy Yoga that Ethan got free from work? It might be a bit dumbed-down for you, but it's all about doing yoga with a toddler.
ROCK ON KAT! AND JESSICA! (and anyone else who has a mom or a kid and wants to come join in) - these are awesome. [link]
Oh, Stephen Colbert, you are adorable. Like a giddy child talking with the astronaut, who is charming. It's awesome.
I thought this was probably his best interview ever, just because both of them were so jazzed about the interview! SC was as giddy as could be, talking to an actual astronaut while he is actually in space (he was giggling over the Wrist Strong bracelet spinning in mid-air!), and the astronaut was cracking up over everything (delayed, of course).
ION, I am soooo relieved right now. I had severely fucked up at work last month by forgetting to renew a subscription and didn't realize it until yesterday when my co-worker pointed out we still hadn't gotten last week's issue. I figured I'd call them from here at home to see if I couldn't order an extra copy out of my own pocket to cover the missing issue while the check is being cut for the entire subscription just to try and cover my ass a bit.
Well, I just got off the phone, and they've got a six-week grace period for the renewal, so the issue is going out first-class today and they have me in their files as renewed in case my boss double-checks.
Phew. I was so freaked that I couldn't stop thinking about it all night and sleep was restless, to say the least.
I know this is all the way back yesterday, but easily the most disturbing part of sarameg's interspecies lewdness post was
The incident, which lasted for 45 minutes
I remain happy to have NOT clicked sara's link.
I have had breakfast and most of a cup of coffee and yet remain gronky mccrankypants. Today would be an awesome day for my boss to give me my assistant's day gift he never gave me, but oh, he is out. I mean yay he is out, because I can do my life stuff all day long and have a chill day.
Jesse, Auntie Em's is good! Not their cupcakes, which are just okay due to meh cream cheese frosting. Though their cupcakes are as big as my head. (okay, not really, but they are pretty huge).
She said she actually thought of them as being for two people. Now I want pretzel bread! And also a cupcake! There is a strong likelihood I'll get a cookie at the end of the day, so that's something....
FRIDAY!
morning.
Now I am all conflicted.
I just watched the Colbert interview -- how adorable it was! (And it will replay several times today, so if you missed it, you still have a shot at seeing it!)
As I was riding the bus this morning, I got to thinking....
OK, how many here got this big warning speech in grade school about the kid who stuck his head out the bus window and then got decapitated by a pole? How about the story of the kid who chocked this other kid as a joke, and the other kid suffocated and died? Or a story about a kid who slammed the door on another kid while playing, but the other kid got his finger smushed in the door hinges?
I'm trying to remember any other scare stories they told us... Oh, I had a 3rd grade teacher who told us we could all be killed at any moment - like, an engine could fall off a 747 and crash into the school and kill us all - so we'd better be sure we'd accepted Jesus into our hearts....
I just started watching Colbert, and it really is too cute for words.
