Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes. I have to say, none of the ones I saw in NYC were that appealling, but the Boston ones have had a lot of (a) places in my neighborhood, and (b) places I would go anyway.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My workplace did not get the memo that it is supposed to be a "quiet week" of little to do but web surfing. They keep giving me massive quantities of work.

However! I did come in to find that someone had gifted me with a tin spaceship filled with bendy space monkeys in astronaut suits. So that was cheery.

Man. I've just been reading for five minutes and I already feel so grounded.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, I haven't done the WORK I was supposed to do today (um, expense reports? Printing and faxing things? Stuff I can't do once I'm on vacation because I won't have a fax machine or printer, whaaaa?) But I DID, thanks to you guys, just call up my old job's 401K plan (who I had never interacted with at all, before, at ALL, seriously) and asked for them to mail me the rollover stuff, so I can put all the money in the new job's thingie. Go me!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Xmas office gifts are a good thing.

So Cody and Isaac just swung by home on the way to the doctor's office. Isaac was crashed out asleep, with a gift from his preschool (a book) in his lap. Such a sweetheart when he's asleep.

Last night he had a horrible coughing jag, scared us a bit, hence the doctor's visit today. I need to find out if there's any chance it's allergies or asthma.

facepalm

I mean, it's kind of a cute idea. But it ... loses something in the execution.

Adorable 3 year old conversation:
Dillo: I want to blast into space and see the big planets like Saturn.
me: Well, when you are a grownup you can be an astronaut and go into space.
Dillo: I want to go now! With you guys!
me: Well, unfortunately we are not astronauts.
Dillo: But we could dress up as them!

So, Allyson, can you hook a kid up?
