"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Nilly, I hope things go well with your dissertation submission. I have friends doing PhDs - it seems crazily intense.

(Which is of course why I'm applying for one. Um.)

Ha! Seriously! I always think it's my spatial disability that gets me but really it's PHYSICS out to get me!

That. Next time I walk into a wall or the side of the bed, I'll be able to blame the universe. (Not that I don't usually.)

Our wings are not tired.

Lovely morning!

I went to bed at 7pm and slept until my usual 6am. Bliss! Then I awoke to watch a most impressive speech by our president, which I listened to while reading the type and post with Nilly last night. A good morning all round.

I understand the disappointment, Kat. It seems a popular thing these days. All the kids that go to school with Brendon have been encouraged to go to CC. A couple of his closest friends opted for 4 year. He is a junior, so many haven't decided yet. Brendon's guidance counselor suggested he graduate early by finishing up a few things over summer and go to CC in the fall. Her reasoning was that he has serious issues with the mindless busy work and frustrating bureaucracy of HS and she suspects he will do much better in a CC setting. I get her point, but she missed the part where he is massively immature.

And now for some more tea. I drink tea at home then gallons of coffee when I get to the office. If I drank coffee at home during the week my head would surely explode. Also, since I am all chatty, the local Publix whole wheat bagels are very tasty and satisfying.

eta: Good morning, Theodosia!

Swouncing

I'm so tired (typing with my eyes closed is by no means an easy thing to do, even when my brain is at least trying to take part in what I try to do), but I had to poke my head one more time before collapsing into sleep (after an all-nighter followed by teaching until now), because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista event: it's Dana's birthday, as well as (according to flea "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Jun 4, 2005 3:46:56 pm PDT) Ellie's.

Happy birthday, Dana! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday, Ellie, you big beautiful girl! With lots of wishes for your mom, brother and all your family, as well!

Nilly! Blissful sleep wishes for you. My first smile of the day was the vision of you dancing to the sound of the printer.

Happy Birthday to the young and pretty Dana!

Happy Birthday to Ellie! I'm looking forward to mommy posting pretty girl birthday pics.

“Not dead yet!”

Happy Birthday, Dana!

Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Nilly, get some sleep!

coffee:

Which I desperately want. Been fasting since 9:30 last night.

Bah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Dana!

HAppy birthday, Ellie!

Best wishes for your tests today, Barb. May they find a quick fix. Rock on blood cells!

Oy, Barb! I expect the fasting is going to be the worst part of the whole mishegas, so at least it will be over with soon -- hang tough!

Hippo Birdies to Dana and Ellie! Both of whom are pretty and young.
