This weekend will be cleaning, maybe a trip to a state park. Don't really know.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wish I had a bunch of cushions, because if I did, I'd spend the weekend making a fort and hiding in it....
You are welcome to visit my house and do this with my children any time (it is a regular occurrance around here.)
My boss gave me some amazing gifts for doing the symposium.
A gorgeous quill and ink set, stationery shaped like bats, a bat candle, a brooch, candles and candle holders. Everything was wrapped in green and black ribbons and parchment-like paper.
Just perfect!
We don't have enough cushions so we have to have tents. This is known as playing camp.
For a nice antidote to the worries of the world:
Also, some very very happy dogs, in a day care in Canada [link]

I'd probably end up lecturing the kids: "What type of weaponry we expect the fort to defend against will determine the design of the fort elements; for example, the angle of the fort walls to the ground (which in ships is called the 'tumblehome')...."

What a great boss you have, Allyson!! And congrats on getting the ms out the door!
At the bookstore, the community outreach person had us picking two handsell children's books for our Christmas donation drive (we ask if customers want to pay for copies of books to be given to a charity, NW Hospital this year, and whoever sells the most copies of their two picks wins a prize in January), and when I was writing down my choices, I couldn't help but think that I wanted to put down Sam's story instead.
ItotallyON, Craig Ferguson had Betty White on last night, talking about the candidates.
Some people need to chill out. Neither candidate is insanely radical.
Palin isn't insanely radical? McCain "don't talk to anybody" "Spain is an adversary" "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" isn't a radical on foreign policy?
Hee hee! Love ticklish Noah and love Betty White!
