Thanks guys! The toe, poor thing, was broken at an angle, and kind of twisted, and the doctor couldn't get it quite right, but he thinks it will be good enough.
In other, cooler news, Kara is getting gothier, and is so thrilled I bought her black and pink shirts, and gray and black pants for the new school year, because that's what Jilli wears. She's going to a new school for 4th grade, so I wanted her to feel a little more confident. Oh! And she'd probably kill me for telling you, but she's started wearing training bras, and has gone from... they're "weird" to "can you get them in more colors?"
Aidan is getting taller and taller and keeps telling me it's my birthday and is so absolutely adorable. Today, every time I sat down to elevate my foot, he crawled into my lap for snuggles. He'll be in second grade this year. So. weird. I told him he's not allowed to grow anymore, and he said okay--first of my kids to agree.
Oh, and Nick has been promoted to manager of the convenience store he works at, and is moving in alone with his girlfriend (they've been in a kind of roomie-sitch), and is madly in love with her and talks about asking her to marry him when he's found the right ring, something funky and vintage and cool. He's also cooking all the time, and has discovered the joys of olive oil and a bit of wine and good cheeses. He's also adorable.
Oh, and Jilli, I found something so cool! It's a Nightmare before Christmas scrabble set--I sent you the link in gmail.
Deena so lovely to see you.
Congratulations Rick!
And if not, why is it so difficult to find bath towels in any shade of purple or lavender?
I finally found purple towels and bought a set. I went to buy a few more, and they were discontinued!
Deena peace and sleep to you . The kids sound great! Sorry other things aren't. I hope things mellow soon.
ma~~~ to smonsters friends.
Thanks, Burrell and Beth!
I'm going to go sleep now. Or try. I'll do my best to pop in more often.
Oh, the buffista business cards. I'm sure I could recreate the template, if someone would like me to.
g'night!

Ooooh, isn't that pretty! Well, that goes on the wishlist.

BRB, DYING FROM CUTE
Awww, Kara! 4th grade, good lord! I miss hearing Kara stories. Tell her I say hi, and she's still one of my favorite wee gothlings!
Aww, Deena. Good to hear from you, although I`m sorry life hasn`t been kinder to you. Thanks for the update on the kiddoes...can`t believe they`re so grown.
Dang, Deena, that sounds really rough. I hope life tosses more good things your way soon.
Much ~ma to smonster's friends.
Deena so sorry about all the bad shit. Glad to see your pixels. and so much has gone wrong for for so many Buffistas that I have kind of lost track. Just back the fuck off 2010.
Things finally seem to be moving on our house, after vendor tantrums and dangerous electrics and leaky windows and lawyers getting shut down and other fun delays. I may yet be able to move and start my PhD in September. Which is a good thing, as I'm going absolutely loopy from the waiting.
sj, I didn't find an e-mail, though I looked in spam (always an experience). Can you send again? Thanks!
Deena, that all sounds stressful and nasty. I hope the toe recovers quickly, and that everything else improves too.
Thoughts for smonster's friends.
