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?

Holy crap, we got salt! Not sure how much good it'll do, but hey! City's 311 service worked even as they were overwhelmed.

Dear Husband, Do not complain that your office is closed today when I have to go to work. It would be a shame to have to kill you so close to the holidays. Thanks! -Signed Your Wife

Also, today's Kid's Woot is super cute, and I am thinking of getting one for the future for my daughter, because I am crazy.

I've been up for an hour. Shoot me.

ME too!

I love our 311!

It's super windy. Do I really want to go skiing?

311 has always been responsive in this neighborhood. Even as my trashmen are stupid. I'm sort of amazed.

I'm wearing hiking boots to the airport parking lot, but I'm leaving them in the car.

I feel ridiculous having to remember to pack fixodent. Ah, dental work.

What time is your flight, sara?


sarameg - Dec 21, 2009 3:47:27 am PST #26499 of 30001

Flight isn't until 1:30, but I'm going to try to hit Hampden first. I had to do laundry and pack and shit. And there's the extra buffer to allow for not being able to get out of the 'hood.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

311 is awesome. They were the people who helped me when I had the cat attack me. Also, when there are dead things in the road.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh sorry, that's me Cash. Esp if I say something like "I should really upload those photos one of these days." Speaking only for myself, I say it because I wish I would suddenly morph into the kind of person who does it as I know that it's not hard to do if I could just get myself into the habit of doing it.

Burrell, I was just in a snit about DH. I had the temerity to try loading the dishwasher last night while he was trying to watch a movie. Since the tv room is right next to the kitchen, it was disturbing him. Even though I had been out all day doing Christmas shopping and then volunteering at a Christmas party for needy families, then driving someone and her 19 month old to the ER, DH never managed to do the dishes.

We have a cleaning lady come in once a week and I wanted to get stuff out of her way. DH wondered why she doesn't do dishes--I explained that dishes are a CONSTANT job and they need to be done more than once a week, as is the laundry and a lot of other things that I do around the house.

Sheepishly, he agreed that he should do more around the house. And then went back to watching the movie.

And I see I'm still cranky about it this morning. Feh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I was happy to see that we do indeed have snowplows here. Well, a couple of snowplows. But the roads are clear. Now if only my driveway were clear so I could drive.

Heifer makes me cry. I love them.
