Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Huh. It's 63 degrees out.

This was what I said yesterday morning. This morning it was more along the lines of "brrrr." Spitting rain/mix and 28 degrees. A 35 degree difference in the high should really be illegal. Really.

Thrive to spite them

I have the a/c on. Mostly because my apartment is always warm.

Also in lounge wear, the same as yesterday. I got the most comfortable pair of pants and jacket. Tomorrow Ill wear real clothes. Maybe.

It's very springlike here. Which I could appreciate, except my flight is currently 3 hours late. Which wouldn't be so bad (more kid time) except it gets me in near midnight and I hate that. It's been 3 hours late since noon. (It isn't until almost 6.) Whack.

I'm actually very cranky about that because BWI is of the suck after about 9. They have maybe one baggage handler and he's asleep.

Pretty foggy heren but it's not really rained yet, so that is good. I took mac to a friend's today and had over 5 hours to hang with my friend. I also have a full set of fake nail tips now. I hope a few months of this will break the biting habit.

Austin, don't move to the desert. That's pretty the norm here. Our lows this week are all predicted to be in the 40s and the highs in the 70s. Not that I'm complaining! Monday's high in Pasadena is supposed to be 74. Whee! Looks like they're going to have nice weather for the Rose Parade. It's only 58 right now, so I'm looking forward to the warmer temps.

Ugh we have 2 of mac's 25! Homework assignments today, that brings the total to 4 done. I flaked yesterday so now we are behind. I am aiming to get 2 more done today, the ideally 2 more tomorrow.

msbelle, that's ridiculous that he has so much homework over break. One or two quick things, I can see, but you shouldn't have to make a schedule to get it all done. I'm sorry the teacher is giving us teachers a bad name.

I'm trying to work out a schedule for all of my grading right now. Ugh.

Yep, and I am writing her a note.

The homework is insane.

I'm now delayed over 3 hours. Not even going to the airport until it is more concrete. Of course, if I miss my flight, I'm going to be cranky, but there are worse things.

Our wings are not tired.

I stayed wayyyyyy too late at Megan Walker's last night but what can I say? She's too much fun to leave. I don't regret it, but it's made me very low energy today, and did I mention I am hosting 14 people tonight for dinner? Yikes.

Pix, I am hopeful that you'll have more time with your grandmom, and I am thankful she's visiting LA and getting a chance to see you.

Shir, as everyone else has said, ((((((Shir and the entire Middle East))))).

VW, you're handling it all as well as can be expected.

And finally, Ms. Belle, that's how I quit the nail-biting habit, so good luck!
