I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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!

“Not dead yet!”

Heh-- best quote about last night's Country Music Association Awards:

Even unlikelier first-time CMA performers: Jamaica’s Wailers, who joined Chesney for a medley. “It’s a great pleasure being here -- more than tongue can tell," said Wailers singer Elan Atias. “Country and reggae are very similar.” (From the aroma that preceded them by about 20 feet, the similarity to Willie Nelson was certainly apparent.)

I am so tempted to make my FB status "is about to tell her son that it will fall off if he doesn't leave it alone."

Ah, children.

Oh... dear.

Hehehehe. I think my brother started telling 'em that the day they discovered this pull-y thing attached to them.

Ah... youth.
