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!
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

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?

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
Surely can. What size space suit?

I guess we need three - one 3T, one for a 5'11" woman. and one for a 6'6" man. We also need directions to Cape Canaveral.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. When I was three, I wanted to be an astronaut. Or a bus driver.

Cute. Space is just endlessly fascinating to toddlers.
Isaac wanted to take the space shuttle to the moon for a vacation. I warned him that they don't have hotels on the moon, or things like electricity and running water. "We can camp on the moon," he tells me.

New law demands that some Amtrak passengers be locked in boxes
Yeah, there was some kind of mistake or typo, so instead of requiring Amtrak to allow passengers to bring guns on trains, with the guns to be locked in a safe, the law says that passengers who bring guns on a train would be locked in boxes.

I can get the 3T. The rest, unsure.
