The grandmother of the litter of babies probably shouldn't have aired all that, but she sounds like she's completely fed up with her daughter. I'd probably have trouble being rational if I wasn't particularly happy with the daughter who lived with me having six children, and then she's about to bring home eight more.
I was going to stop to look for 3D glasses, but I was exposed to too many humans and had to come home. I may check the CVS on the corner, but since my eyes don't play well together, I generally can't see the 3D effect anyway.
Dear people in crowded stores: If you're slooowly strolling along two or three abreast in a narrow aisle, you've given up your right to be huffy when someone pushes by you, particularly when that person has cleared her throat and said "excuse me" several times.
Hey good news update from last weekend: my mousepad button situation has mostly fixed itself! It's like 80-90% now, so that's good.
I went to target and got a digital converter box. I decided to be cheap and and hopefully the old tv won't die in the next few months, when I might be feeling less cheap. Or even more cheap, but resigned. There was a period of abject panic when the public tv stations wouldn't come in, but I discovered their repeat signal and it passed.
I kinda hate the remote situation. I can't get my universal remote programmed so that the number buttons work, so it's a two remote world for now. And I wish I could set it up so that when I cycled through the channels it didn't hit every.single.one. And it had a back button.
I resent technology.
She reminds me a lot of those people who end up with 53 cats -- only with humans.
That's what I was thinking too. Those poor kids.
I'm staying in and organizing cds tonight. I'm taking them out of their stupid plastic cases and putting them in a book. In a project to consolidate my stuff. It's satisfying but dusty work!
Later I'm making black bean chili!
Mississippi most religious, Vermont least, survey says
Joining Mississippi in the top "most religious" states are other notches in the Bible Belt: Alabama (82%), South Carolina (80%), Tennessee (79%), Louisiana (78%), and Arkansas (78%).
New England predominates in the top "least religious" states: Following Vermont are New Hampshire (46%), Maine (48%), Massachusetts (48%), Alaska (51%) and Washington (52%).
"Clearly, states in the South in particular, but also some states in the Southwest and Rocky Mountains ... have very religious residents and New England states in particular, coupled with states like Alaska and others, are irreligious," said Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of The Gallup Poll.
And so it begins...
Octuplet's mother wants Oprah to make her a $2m television star.
I love this part:
Nadya Suleman, 33, plans a career as a television childcare expert, since it emerged last week that she already had six children before giving birth on Monday. She now has 14 below the age of eight.

She should be concentrating on science and engineering since it seems we're going to need another planet to populate.
Looking for some decorating advice folks: Do you think this bedding pattern would look good in a room with white and violet walls and dark hardwood floors? [link]
I think it would look good, Matt, as long as the shade of violet doesn't clash wiht any of the colors.
