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?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

WOOHOO

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is an exciting life around here, I tell you what. I should really be outside Doing Things, but eh.

I went outside once today. That's enough, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm not asking for 100, just a few successive days of high 70s and sunshine.

I was all geared up for a bunch of shredding, but there's a paper jam in my shredder, and I can't get it out.

I could loan you Loki. He's currently rolling all over me.

Dita does fit newcat.

I need to get out of the house. Rain has finally let up.

information libertarian

We went to the Toyota dealership this morning. 2009 Priuses do not have adjustable (up/down) seats, but 2010 ones do. But the only 2010 they had has a moon roof, which loses you a couple of inches of head room. (Remember, mr. flea is 6'6" - head room is almost the most important thing we consider when buying a car.) The Camry hybrid is also lacking in the headroom. The Matrix (not available in hybrid) has a ton of headroom.

So, when they get a 2010 in without a moon roof, we'll go check it out. But probably not buy one for a year or two. The Matrix was nice, and we could get a used one very reasonably, but we really want a hybrid.

The dealer guy's daughter just graduated and is going to UGA in the fall and he was so proud. I was very happy for him (& her).

Because books.

Rainy Saturdays make for much family togetherness. A little too much, honestly.

This is brilliant, and will be my last post about the weather until it is nice again: [link]

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

I just watched the final ep of Pushing Daisies. Love! That was a hell of a supporting cast. The flyover shot of all the various featured locations was beautiful and the ending narration brought a little tear to my eye. I'm really going to miss that show. I hope the comics get into the story of Ned's dad . That story seemed to be building and then disappeared with the cancellation news.

It's gray and raining and only about 60 here

Ditto, except 65.

Ditto again!
