I think you should read 26 Starlings Will Fly Through Your Mind. But I may be biased. And, er, it's best if everyone is named Emily.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Punishingly Intricate
what about the Phantom Tollbooth? that's great to a big age group because you can do the voices for the younger kids, but the older ones will get the puns.
ooh! one of my fave books of all time!

Y'all have heard me tragitate over CJ's difficulties at school. We recently started him on some ADHD meds and I asked his teacher (who at the time didn't know about the meds) how he was doing. She said that he has been much better about controling his impulsiveness and she is happy with his current classroom behavior.
I have since let her know about the meds and asked for her to touch base with me every week or so, but I'm so happy things are going better for him. Unfortunately, the pessemistic side of me is waiting for the "but" to appear.

A great book that the kids might really dig is Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos [link]
Now, admittedly, I'm biased because a dear friend of mine wrote it, but-- Abby read it last year in fourth grade and absolutely LOVED it. I didn't tell her until afterward that I knew the author-- it just happened to be a book she picked up and really enjoyed.
Besides, early twentieth century, Egypt, mummies! Good stuff!

Good thoughts, Suzi-- I'm glad that you're at least getting a respite and that everyone seems to be happier.

How bad is it that I really wanted (re Barb's Press thing about Romancing the Blog) Barb's blog post to be about Chuck from Gossip Girl, and not Chuck from the eponymous series on NBC? Sigh.

I will admit, meara, to an odd, odd attraction to Ed Westwick, but alas, I've never seen GG.
And never mind that the attraction to Ed Westwick makes me feel like a DIRTY OLD LADY!!

There is a guy who sits near my cube who LOVES to randomly sing bits of songs at full voice. Today it is Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name. He has a decent voice, but still, kinda startling.

move out and draw fire
So Sox and I got mistaken for a lesbian couple yesterday. I may be more amused about this than Sox, but of course I live in a more conservative area, so I was absolutely delighted that a museum docent, upon seeing a toddler (Mal, in this case) with two women, referred to us as his parents, and his mommies.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Stupid happy meal. I asked for a Batman toy and I got %*&%! Polly Pocket.
Erin I think if you're trying to avoid blisters you can't go wrong with sock liners.
I can fall asleep on my back if I masturbate. I'm sure the sleep study people would love that.
