So Emmet's a grownup!!

My first thought exactly!

One of my neighbors is having an addition built. Due to the economy , the framers doing the work are high end expert framers. Custom framers that don't usually do work on trac homes.

That series looks awesome.

Many people are parents, and many parents are thirsty. Yet too many parents allow their infant sons and daughters to lie about idly: napping, drinking milk, and whatnot. Why not put them to work? Observe how tots enjoy the shapes and colors, all the while learning how to mix a variety of basic cocktails. Thanks, Baby!

I often wish I had gone into a skilled trade. I think I would like working with my hands all the time. Not being in a office. And plumbers butt.

Megan, I have bought a couple of those books for friends and they're cute, but more awesome in concept than execution. The text itself is pretty simple.

That series looks awesome.

They were selling some of them at 826 Valencia. I got Baby, Do My Banking one for a friend who works at a bank and just had a baby.

Self-laughing coworker is "so much for global warming" it around the office today because of the volcano in Iceland and the snow in Dallas yesterday (BTW, it was 70ish Friday afternoon, cold enough to snow a few inches Saturday afternoon, snow melted by Sunday afternoon and should be back up into high 60s today).

I would be far less irritated if (well ok, if I wasn't being irritated by people breathing right now) but if he weren't standing right by my desk saying that the river was apparently frozen in "New Orleenz." 1)Doubt it, since Krissie seemed shocked by my snowy Dallas pictures Sunday morning. 2)You could maybe ask someone who knows people there and can actually pronounce it.

I also wish I had learned a skilled trade, but my skill (sewing ) is not so much in demand. I occasionally think about getting a hair-cutting licence.

Is Monday over yet? It needs to be.
