I've decided I need to ask for half-caff when I get coffee from the market on Saturdays. Not sure if theirs is a higher octane, but I can feel it all day and I don't like that. Have Targetted and pedicured, and I am done with my shopping for the week. The rest of the weekend I can do whatever I want! My toenails are pinker than I'd like, but oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle, I still can't believe I can't just come over and see your new paint! Stupid moving.

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

I was so shocked and horrified by Allyson... in more recent times I will admit to hoping she would come in with the smackdown.

What did I do again? I was mean or something?

I still think a lot of mean things, though. And then I laugh and close the window of wherever I am.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is now locked with his uncle in a battle of wills. he is just not letting it go today.

I have done the touch up work on 90% of my bedroom walls and the all of the alcove hallway. I am giving it 2 hours to dry, then will do the trim touch-ups. Tomorrow I will move furniture back in my bedroom and start on the touch-ups somewhere else I think. Hate this so much.

oh, and the uncle has won, mac is doing some reading.

Why is this not surprising?

Go uncle! Pity he can't come back to Texas too, but then again, it's good to have family to visit in NY.

My kids are doing the stay in the house thing too. I'm about to go make hot cocoa for everybody. Wish I had some whipped cream.

Well, I'm happy to say that I've finished the last of the post-flea bomb clean-up. This was certainly an exhausting week; but, on the upside, my possessions probably can no longer kill me.

I'm watching the tsunami on NYT's site right now: [link] (scroll down to the CBS affiliate).

It's WILD to watch the brown water recede in waikiki.

ETA and then to watch it come back in within a few minutes. WHOA. Wild.

I'm dogsitting for my FWB, which is basically just taking him for his walk tonight and tomorrow morning and putting food in his bowl.

I feel odd having a key to his place, and I'm unsure why. Something ingrained about the importance of keys.

Whenever someone hands me the keys and care of their children/home/animals, I always feel all warm and fuzzy, like a little kid "helping" to make cookies.

Look ma! I'm competent! People trust me to not light their houses on fire, steal their shit, or kill their families!
