Our wings are not tired.

Wishes for a calm and uneventful evening, msbelle.

Poor Mr. Peabody. When Brandy has an accident you can tell she feels awful, and I totally know it isn't her fault.

Tail ~ma for Clio.

My entire family is in complete lazy mode today. I blame it on the cold snap. Brendon's girlfriend spent the night and for the last few hours the 5 of us (7 including animals) have been couch potatoes watching sports with some computing from time to time. Well, I am reading on my laptop and watching sports at the same time because I multi-task even when lazy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

In job application-speak, what is the best way to say, "I do any task -- large or small -- that is required of me," without sounding weird? One of my friend's finer points, as an employee, is that she's willing to do almost anything without bitching. Nothing is beneath her or too hard for her. How does one convey that effectively?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

A willingness to pitch in where needed and take on a wide variety of tasks

I'm getting the pig!

Poor Mr Peabody and Clio kitty.

If Jesus had a cat: [link]
Or if Jesus *was* a cat. That's what I get from the picture.

I was very productive this morning

This is how I have to do it. If I get started early, shit's much more likely to get accomplished than if I wait until later in the day. Sometimes, if I don't have to work the next day, the cleaning bug will hit me late at night. That's less frequest, though.

DH was the one that started the cleaning this morning. Once I recovered from the shock, I pitched in and we were able to get quite a bit done, including getting Ashton bathed. Go us.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have done pretty much nothing this weekend. Got socked with another sinus infection and have been trying that rest thing that gets recommended.

Though part of what I did do was help CJ through some of his homework. Now my brain hurts.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob and I ran a half-marathon today. Five + hours later, still totally wiped.

Well, I went through my toolbox, tossed a bunch of shit (turned up a quart bag of change. Um,) collected the eight million allen wrenches together in one bag, fasteners of every imaginable type except the one you need in another and relocated the whole shebang to the basement. Woohoo, I have 2 square feet of floorspace back in the kitchen!

I also have a headache because I forgot to eat this afternoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, you guys! That is impressive.

Poor sick and/or hurt people and/or animals!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Nice, sarameg. True confessions: when I first encountered Allen wrenches I thought they were called owl wrenches, so I still kind of think of them that way.

bon, you make me miss when I actually did shit like that. Maybe that'll be my spring resolution.

ETA: Oh, poor Mr. Peabody. I so remember that look in Lucy's eyes when she have middle of the night GI trouble and have to wake me up. Heartbreaking. And to the best of my knowledge or ability to interpret, she didn't have a past history making it such a fraught situation.
