I just took that 2008 news quiz--got 80%, and would have done a bit better if my coin flips had gone the other way on six questions. Still, not too bad!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

You know, I think they need a Hello Kitty Roomba! That might make my year!

Yay--My boss just told me not to come in tomorrow! This "working" during the holidays is really turning out to be a good plan.

Oooh... megan-- you'll know the answer to this I hope. Is it "cher" or "chere" when abbreviating "cherie?" I've seen both so I'm not sure if there's even a quote/unquote correct version.

Well, "cher" is masculine and "chère" is feminine, so it depends on whether it's "chéri" or "chérie". If it's "chérie" with an "e" on the end, you should use "chère".
Also, be careful because "chéri/chérie" is a noun whereas "cher/chère" is an adjective, so it's usually before something, for example, "Cher Monsieur" or "ma chère cousine" at the top of a letter.
ETA: proper accents!
