Now tagless for your comfort.

Lots of peace~ma for your household, msbelle.

I just had another bowl of chili. I think this is the best batch I've ever made.

I have six gift bags for Owen's classroom to celebrate his birthday tomorrow (although the actual day is Friday--he doesn't have school). I also did gift bags for his teacher, the assistant and his therapists. It's not overkill to give them a $10 Target gift card and some Dove chocolates is it? I put a thank you in the bag thanking them for all the work they do with O.

Wikipedia begs to differ with the aforementioned list

The list is America’s favorite books, wikipedia’s is best selling books.

Why is wearing your jammies in public a fashion now?

I work on a college campus. I stopped wondering about that a long time ago.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mac! You must chill!

I say get him a boy sized gerbil ball and let him run run run like crazy until he falls asleep (and floops around in the still rolling ball because that's a funny image).

In other boy news: Emmett was at the Red Sox home opener and got a foul ball off the bat of Manny Ramirez. Now he's in NYC and running a fever. So Brooklynites (Fort Greene precisely) if you see a feverish blonde boy, almost 5 feet tall, about 112 lbs, wearing a Red Sox cap - that's probably him.

Yay blind date for Tom!

Allyson, go you for dealing with the LA city insanity. I know it all seems like too much to handle right now. Hang in there and vent as much as you need to.

msbelle, you're a great mom.

Glee! I just remembered that I have the remains of an ice cream cake in the fridge.

I had a surprisingly good meal for dinner. Surprisingly because I'm in Port Angeles, and it's not the sort of town where one expects to find a wine bistro where they have a full-page wine list and pine nuts on the salads. They were even kind enough to give me a baby rib-eye which wasn't on the menu. And an awesome slice of coconut cream pie, which was.

Tomorrow I have my first helicopter ride. I'm unhappy that in the rush to get out of the house this morning, I forgot to bring the crystallized ginger.

Plei, did you ever notice how your fellow Washingtonians drive the exact speed-limit? It's very disconcerting to this Californian.

I was very confused by this statement, until I realized it was directed at Plei.

Heh. AND they let you merge here! And stop for pedestrians! It's...weird.

I work on a college campus. I stopped wondering that a long time ago.

For a student on campus, I can almost understand. Still tacky and trashy, but you're a college student. This was a woman out and about in friggin' Los Angeles! And there's plenty of other women here just like her!
