I got to hang with Noah, and he is a learning machine! Also wicked cute.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have until Monday night to figure out benefits crap. I fear I'll discover this weekend (when plan to do it) that my dumbass corporate owner's website won't play nice with my browser and I'll have to do it at work monday. I hate dealing with their shitty web interfaces.
I promise to commiserate with Noah on tooth pain. He gets teething tablets, I have a vicodin prescript.

I'm actually going to propose to my parents that they count Bhutan as their gift to me for like, the next 3 years. But I know I'll still get earrings and books from 'em anyway. Mom does good gifts and likes shopping.
I actually have a list of stuff for them that I compiled when they were here. I just have to get out and get that stuff. For my brother & co...well, I was going to give them moving moneyhelp and pitch in for new furniture, but then that $$ went to an emergency car purchase loan and I won't see that money back for a bit, so. Kids'll get the usual foo. And CRAP. I forgot to send the SM4 Hubble throw back with my brother. It was even in the car. Feh. Maybe I'll get my parents to let me go in for a share of some new furniture for them.

ita, Kat, and Shir FTW with the sleep vibes, thank you. I fell asleep pretty quickly the second time.
The little girl telling her story in French was adorable. The eyes! And the expressiveness.
I don't have any good input on gifts.

I have to figure out my FSA #s this week too. That is why I SHOULD have done paperwork tonight, to figure out how close I was on figures this year.
Gifts my family may get this year: donations, gift certificates for non-items (massages, dinners, netflix, shows), gift certifs to half price books, notecards made from E's art, knit things, unique food items.

Cool frames and pictures of the kids would work for parents.
T just came by to show me this quarter's grades: 85-95! Rock!
Need to call her dad next week about TG catsitting and Obama's inaugural. She and I squeed over the Obamas moving into the WH. About the girls, she was all "they're so little! People have to be nice to them!" And she's an august, what? 13?

Stamp N&G's feet in cloth paint and anoint the Yosemite shirts with them!
