I am at the point where I can possibly think about spending money on clothes (aside from replacing essentials that have worn out, like shoes) again, what with work coming up sometime in the not-distant future.

not your mom's socks.
Ita - it looks great from here! Thanks for wrassling the scripts.
So I go to get Iris up this morning, and she greets me with:
"I. WANT. MY. DADDY!!!!"
which could be heard all the way to Kat's house, I think.
I was all 'Cool, daddy got me Michael Chabon's new book for mothers' day, so I'll catch you later,' but I said something like "Happy Mother's Day to you too -" and she cranked up this hugenormous smile and said "Happy Mother's Day!! ... Let's Go wake Gigi up to wish her a Happy Mother's Day... and then Daddy TOO!"
ah. At least my books still love me.
also, there are some amazing postcards over at TWC and on the Flickr group... and if I haven't pestered you yet, please know it is only a matter of time before I overcome my natural tendency towards clutching my coffee in quiet and say 'hey, where's yours?' So beat me to it [SuziQ, msBelle, Aims, DavidS & JZ, Flea, ..., anyone with a parent who has ever traveled somewhere, and you amazing aunts and uncles who like to run off with your nephlets and niecelings, I'm looking at you...]

Things look shinier, slightly different, and dare I say, slightly speedier.
I think a plumber is to be called tomorrow. For the errant bottle in the toilet. It seemed to be fine, but it's definitely slow to drain now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think they're trying to say it's like Chik-Fil-A, to which I say um, no.
Ah. I have never had a Chik-Fil-A sandwich, so that explains that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I always take off the pickles when I get a Chik-Fil-A.

I do love pickles. Maybe I'll go try the free sandwich they are offering me.
ION, I slept like shit. Stayed up too late (stupid sexy Coke [not coke, although that would keep a person up, too]), cat woke me up hocking up a hairball at 6, had to pee, meh meh meh.

well I slept in and decided to skip church. still not as much sleep as I really wanted. The staying up late has REALLY got to stop.
My mother's day was all yesterday - starting with mac getting me my present at 6:09 rather than my requested "play quietly with some toys until 7".
Now to salvage a day:
MUSTS: shower, playground, library, grocery store, homework, laundry
Possibilities: Mending, ebaying, vacuuming, clothes shifting

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Huh, new format for the board. It's a little hard to read....

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

money management is all about skimping on the things you don't want so you can get what you need and some of the stuff you want. IOW, GO Trapeze
