Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Happy birthdays and anniversaries to those of you who celebrated them in the past week, and today!

Kat, about the mosquito bites - I don't know if you know this trick, but using a little bit of toothpaste over the bite does miracles to the annoying itching.

I went shopping on Thursday. Remember the dress I wanted for my birthday? Well, I found it (though not in the color I wanted it to be), and it makes me oh so very happy, and also, for the first time in my life, coming out of a fitting room, look in the mirror and go "wow". I know I'm being superficial over it, but... I never knew clothing can make me be so happy, dammit.

I'm hardly working today because of great music and superficial dress thoughts, but I'm just so happy. I hope to post a picture later.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Teppy!

In less happy news - a teacher in Ohio is accused of burning a cross on a student's arm.

His ARM.

What is wrong with people?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

WTF!?!?!?!

In good news: I got to hang out with Maria! I'm happy to report that she's awesome and gorgeous and can toss them back with the best of us!

to counteract the jackhole teacher.

mac is doing the summer reading program with the library. I used to LOVE the summer reading program. He does not yet read to himself and usually balks at reading out loud to me for more than 5-6 minutes. Last night he read 15 minutes straight in order to mark off a spot where they are tracking time of reading, not just books complete. He will finish book #1 tonight and he gets to track them in his little booklet as well as online. It may lose its draw when he realizes there are not prizes. I may initiate prizes of my own in an attempt to make him more of a reader.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My friend who is a librarian used to give prizes to her own kid. She made Reading Bucks and for every book he read, he would get 1 Reading Buck. He could spend the money in these ways: 5 Reading Bucks = 30 minutes of TV. 7 Reading Buks = time with play station. 3 Reading Bucks = purchase a book of his choice.

It worked really really well.

There's no prizes? That's a shame. You should totally give prizes. I loved the summer reading program. We got frosties from Wendy's. That's the prize I liked most, I think, since I don't even remember what the other prizes were!

I know I'm being superficial over it, but... I never knew clothing can make me be so happy, dammit.

That's awesome, Shir!! Yay!

Happy Birthday, Teppy!!

Happy Birthday Steph!

I am more tired than I should be today. I am blaming the grey, muggy weather.
