I missed all the Scholastic Book discussion fun, crap.

I LOVED Scholastic Books! I would pick out all sorts of books I 'had' to have.

Are there any other 'Great Brain' fans? I adored all of those books. I think I still have a few of my favorites around the house somewhere.

On the indoor pants front. Right now I'm wearing PJ's with a psychedelic print and Maleficent all over them, totally cool. Otherwise, I get home from the school and put on either a great pair of Nick & Nora pj's or t-shirt and bloomers/boxers/pj bottoms. It really depends on the weather.

The fall show opens in 2 weeks. There are so many little things left to do. We are almost done with the set, though. The local paper is coming to do an article on the kids and me on December 1. I hope the publicity gets people to the show.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Loved those books.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I found a few Great Brain books at my parents house. I bought a couple more so my nephew could read most of the series.

I am completely unprepared to be out of town next week. Oh well! Still leaving! On top of the work insanity, I need to give myself a manicure and dye my hair.

The white is getting more aggressive. I found one on my temple in my blond streak. I'm half curious to let it grow out, but I really like this color, so probably won't. (How would I look salt & pepper? Or would it be salt and nutmeg?) But if I do keep dying my hair (14 year run now, so...likely,) I'm probably going to have to do it more frequent touch ups if the pace of white hair proliferation continues.

I'm hoping to get a trim and color next week while I'm off. I've always been a little too afraid to cut my hair myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I loved the Great Brain! I'm pretty sure I had a box set.

I'd never cut my hair these days. It's too complicated.

And is the Great Brain where I "learned" that the religious dichotomy is Mormons v. gentiles?? That messed me up later.

Also, can someone confirm for me that double the amount listed on the ibuprofin bottle for a day is actually OK?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The Great Brain is where I learned about things like mumps and diabetes and quarantine! I loved those books.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, can someone confirm for me that double the amount listed on the ibuprofin bottle for a day is actually OK?

Yes, you can take 800 mgs at a time. I've heard you're not supposed to exceed 1600 in a day, but other, more pharmaceutically aware people than I have scoffed at that limit.
