sumi, I take a formula with Glucosamine HCL, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), and hyaluronic acid. Sulfur is good for joints and skin, and the MSM has the sulfur. Hyaluronic acid is also good for joints and skin.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

I've had a great birthday so far. It's going to be continued through the weekend.

i'm watching some of SYTYCD now

And my dad called three times in a row and left one voicemail. I can't deal with this.

Clear things up with your aunt and then turn the phone off for a week or so. Lordy.

Shir, I just came across this post on DC Hollaback and though you might be interested. [link]

Ok, woke up early, went to therapy, and taught class. House is mostly clean, kiddo's bed is freshly made.

Camp starts next week, and I am ready for Official Stepmommery(mummery?) to begin tomorrow!
