That sounds like a nice addition to the neighborhood, Matt.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I spent the day hating the universe. Now I'm home and still hating. I don't want to do anything I need to do tonight. What I want is to order an enormous pizza and consume it while watching a MythBusters marathon during which I magically will lose 10 pounds, feel as though I had an extremely refreshing nap, and discover that a kind fairy has rewritten the hot mess of a story that's due tomorrow.

Stupid scab from my coffetable incident is itching like MAD. And it's really too deep to rip off without massive bleeding and the cycle starting again. Itchitchitch.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If anyone is looking for house on Long Island with a little history.
Come the Apocalypse, it will be renamed 'Long Pig Island'.

Food probably would help me hate less. I should get on that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I take a nap and come back to people discussing how tasty they are. What will happen when I nap again?
sarameg, I've found that Orajel stops itching.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Let me know if it works, shrift. Maybe I'll try that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I've gotten my cat to finally shut up by realizing that I hadn't fed her yet tonight (getting home in mid-afternoon will do that to my schedule). Turns out her food dish still had a goodly portion of kibble left, but she was being bitchy since it wasn't fresh crunchies. She can be such a diva!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had a bad night last night, as my 8-months-pregnant assistant went in for a check-up yesterday and they informed her that her body was stressed and she had to have the baby RIGHT AWAY, even though it was underweight. It was supposed to be her first day training of her replacement, who I started training and tried very hard to be welcoming to, despite having a huge headache due to worry.
Finally heard this morning--Maggie Maureen was born at 6:30am. She is a tiny 3 lbs 11 oz and will be in NICU for a few weeks. The upside is that she is very healthy--she is breathing and eating like a champ. So all looks well.

Because books.
Aw, that's scary, Scrappy! I'm glad mom and baby are doing well. And Maggie Maureen! What a sweet name.
