That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Hec!!!
I'm hooked by the Science Channel today--they're having a "The Planets" marathon, and I've been enjoying lots o' astronomy. The current ep is about the Voyager missions. The moon ep was fun; they were interviewing various people involved with the Apollo missions, and I was able to see the real Harrison Schmidt and Farouk Al-Baz, who were both rather prominent characters in their eps of From the Earth to the Moon. The actor who played Al-Baz nailed his vocal delivery, from what I heard on the tv today.

I am watching hours upon hours of HGTV for the first time, more or less, since we bought our house and there is a trainwreck of a show on right now, called "Buy Me" which is chronicling this horrible situation with lost jobs, 5 people living in a 2 bedroom, and just crazy family dynamics. OMG. I feel bad for the realtors here.

Oh, shit, Jilli. I'm sorry I missed your book reading. Our flight got in later than I anticipated and we ended up not getting into LAX until almost 8:30.
I have a 30% off coupon for clearance and sale items at Lucy and it's calling to me!

Is Lisah around? She should appreciate this picture, as should Sparky1.
Ha! Kalliope has the Squidfire onesie on today that sarameg gave to her.
My DH has been baby wrangling today, so I've been free to do . . . laundry. Sigh.

Nora - isn't "Buy Me" a downer? I mean, last week it was a woman who bought a house she loved at a time she could afford it. Then lost her big corporate job. She had alot of equity in the house so instead of looking for a new job she used that equity to take out a loan and start a shop. Which failed. So there she was - trying to eke out a living making dog sweaters and dog portraits out of this house. She was paying out so much on the mortgate and the loan that she had to get top dollar for her house. In the new down market. She hires a friend who is an independent realtor and tries to sell it. She eventually gets an offer but she thinks it's not enough so she turns it down. Because she thinks her friend wasn't doing a good enough job, she goes to a larger realty firm. There the only offer she gets is LESS then the first one - but now, she has to take it.
At the end she is living in an apartment, still has $70 Grand in debt and supposedly is "saving for a down payment."

Happy Birthday Hec!
Today is my best friend's 40th birthday too. Though we already celebrated Friday with a cookout and pool party, which was just what the doctor ordered relaxation-wise.
He didn't seem to appreciate the card with the blazing circle of birthday candles on a big cake that played Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" when opened...

Welcome to parenthood!
I have approximately eleven billionity things I should do, yet instead, I'm sitting on the couch with my usual procrastination. The upside? I don't have to go back to work until September 8!

I'm probably in the last hour of mac being at this playdate, and instead of having watched a movie or done more house cleaning, I am trying to quickly eat food that he will want (lime chip) so I can put it away before he is home.
