Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Love the new curtains, msbelle. Might need to stop by BB&B myself.
MiL is in surgery right now. I hope to hear from DH in a few hours. Fingers crossed please. Poor DH, he admitted to me this morning that he keeps thinking about my dad's final surgery. Yeesh. I hate to think of him carrying that around with him all day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck to your MiL, Burrell!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My dad has said the same about seeing a hot dog factory. I told him NEVER to tell me.
One of my Dad's best friends, who is in his mid-60s now, worked at a Kraft marshmallow factory when he was 19.
To this day he will not eat anything Kraft makes, or anything with marshmallows in it.

News o' the day: Robots Now Guarding Nevada Nuke Site
Citizens of Nevada, you can now relax. The Nevada National Security Site, home to tens of millions of cubic feet of low-level radioactive waste — and location of over a thousand Cold War nuclear weapons tests — is now being guarded by robots. The first of a planned trio of Mobile Detection Assessment Response Systems (MDARS) is currently patrolling some of the more remote sections of the 1,360 square mile facility.
