Thanks, amych! That's pretty wrong and drives home how much software and advertising can be the same.

Okay, off to bed. Guys, tomorrow remind me not to dawdle so I can get to the X-ray place decently early so I don't have to wait forever.

Oh, happy birthday vw!

ita, I'm going home with your going-to-bed. That still counts.

Bye, everybody! Have fun storming the internets! I'll probably see you again on the other side of shabbat for some more whining.

Happy birthday, vw!

I just got back from seeing the 25th anniversary showing of War Games. Now I am going to re-read ita's chapter in Allyson's book.

Thanks again everybody for the good thoughts.

Happy anniversary Barb, and happy birthday vw!

I need blood drawn tomorrow, which means I need to fast in the morning. And that may just mean I need a before bedtime snack to tide me over. hmmm. Probably shouldn't be ice cream however.

They won't let us have pets inside the university buildings,

They don't here, either, but one of my friends had a little dog that she used to bring into the office with her when we were working late. We got kicked out of the building and had to sneak back in a few times, but having a dog around while studying was great for lowering stress.

Happy Birthday, vw! And thanks for the good wishes everybody-- hard to believe in a lot of way, yet at the same time, it seems as if it was just yesterday.

ita, our plans are very loose for the moment-- we may go out to dinner, we may just order pizza, since Lewis has to work today.

But for the moment, I am drinking excellent coffee that my husband made me as I check out e-mail and boards and LJ and listening to Pat Metheny's First Circle.

Life is good.

And you weren't being pervy? Damn. *g*

Thanks for the wishes everyone! I have a feeling it's going to be another good year.

That means it's almost (or just after) Toto's birthday too, doesn't it?

Yes! His birthday was on Monday. And like the wonderful mom I am, I had bought him a special treat--which I then forgot to give him until Wednesday.

Happy Birthday vw! And Happy anniversary Barb!

And Nilly... Oh dear. I hope there was a lot of coffee and productivity involved in your white night. Sleep well.

I realized yesterday I have a lot of things I want to do until university start(s?), when I'll have no time to do them. So yesterday I finally made a list, instead of remembering from time to time "oh right! I wanted to do that as well!".

It's long. But it'll make life funner, and better.

And I made a list of the albums I want to have. It's long too. Yay for bus-ride-time. I love long public transportation rides.

Nilly, those are good! I'm worried because N is a squirmy 16 months and all over the place. He's not gonna be happy with sititng on my lap.

kat, I'll plug Travels with Child. Good luck with the travel. I think I'd do a child under 18 months in a plane with less trepidation than a child between 2-4 (which means my kids won't be flying anywhere anytime soon). Definitely check with Stephanie. I think Frisco and Ellie have clocked more air miles than I have already.

I think Noah will do great--the cute is a great advantage.

We have DH's company family picnic this weekend on Sunday. I hope that goes ok. A bouncy house and ice cream--what could possibly go wrong?
