Happy birthday!
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Happy Birthday, Emeline!
We've got snow!

It's cold enough for snow here, and supposed to precipitate later, but it'll probably warm up enough that we get freezing cold rain instead. Feh.
Hippo birdies, Emeline!

We've got a little bit of snow here, too.
I am so glad I don't have to go anywhere today.

It's up to 31 now, so I'm betting the snow doesn't happen by the time it could arrive.
I'm all kinds of ambitious this morning and thinking about rearranging my office entirely. I hope the impulse passes....

That's too much homework. Emmett's homework load is literally about four times as much as mine was growing up, and started about four grades earlier.
And also the academic expectations and testing regimens are about 10x greater now.
I'm online trying to figure out how to buy tickets for the 2010 Olympics. For 3 days of tickets + hotel = $2800 per person. Um? Yikes.

Kat -- and that's with buying early, too. Is there any way you could volunteer, so that you'd have housing and enough free time to go see the event(s) you want the most? (Assuming this is the summer Olympics and you have the "free" time.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can a restaurant keep a customer's stuff against her will if she doesn't pay her bill?
Chicago cops apparently think, "Yes."
