I already xposted this to Natter, but I know Windsparrow would want to see Emmett's school essay about Matilda.

Just a quick hello--I've missed so much, including a ton of birthdays (but I'm not too late to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to smonster!) and some very scary sad stuff (hugs to Omnis, though it sounds like your dad is doing better, and hugs to Fred_Pete and Hubs as they wait to hear about their kitty, and hugs to Andi for the loss of the hamster)...and I know I've missed so much else. Thinking of my Bitches, though, and missing you guys. I want Bitch face time, dammit.

tomato basil quiche is dinner tonight.

Now that sounds amazing.

I'm wondering if his g/f is going to ask for said shots for when he gets home.

Kinda reminds me of shortly after my dad's first heart attack, when my mother made an appointment to see his cardiologist, and ask the doc to give the old man a tranquilizer in with his heart meds. The doctor wouldn't do that without him knowing, so mom said, "How about one for me, then?"

I will take hugs any time, but it's Seska's hammie who has gone to wait at the Rainbow Bridge.

Too right. Damn allergies. Also, big lump in my throat. That young man is a good writer for his age, well able to put together details that really smash his point home. And it is sweet and good to see such love between brother and sister.

I may qualify for best girlfriend of the day

You're good. But I'm up at 5am to take The Girl to the airport. I may be competing against you for that title.

Dear God, it's early...

omnis, that's a lovely thought! Cheers.

Edit 'cause I just saw update about omnis's dad. (I miss things when reading too fast.) Glad to hear he's doing better. I hope he's able to be not-sedated soon.

FTR I'm not even in the running for World's Greatest anything. I did manage to nab an Honorable Mention for Good Enough Mother when I remained entirely placid and good humored while my son told me about getting in a fight with his friend and losing his new shark toy at school today.

Your head didn't explode! That's a win. No steam out of your ears at all.

See, I knew one of the parents would understand.

Oh crap! This is what happens when I read too fast. Sorry Seska, and hugs.

Isn't it tomorrow there already? I only meant to claim the title for the day. You can have it now.

Why. we are all just a big goopy glob of virtue, today, what with the getting up early and not getting head-asplodey, etc.

I'm really excited about the fact that my new(er) car has a working dome light. Daniel is a good boyfriend for finding this car for me.

Carried across by several hairy hamster Valkyries?

Craigslist-fu.

I may qualify for best girlfriend of the day: I made a pizza. Well, ok, it started as a frozen ultra-thin crust pizza. But then I added green and red bell peppers, onion, baby 'bella mushrooms, tomato (that I grew myself) slices, and cheese.

It put you on the top of my list, Milady.
