lisah! I think my nearest neighbors can cover it, but thanks. I still have your bottle of wine...sigh.

What time do you expect to be going down 33rd? You are totally hitting the sweet spot of the race, huh? Gummi bears, tiger guy, hula hoops... hospital! A coworker is doing the half and I told him I'd try to time it to cheer for him. I'll be to and from the market by then but will head back to the Y around his due-in time (we're going @8:30, and are usually back in an hour)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Aaaaand I'm going to Halloween Horror Nights one night we're in L.A. I may never sleep again.

I've always been too scared to go. I am the perfect horror movie audience member because I always get scared and scream and such, except I actually dislike feeling scared. I'm impressed that you are going to go anyway.

OK those haunted houses look terrifying to me.

I am such a wimp.

Ok, so Loki seems to be making progress with the halter and leash, no longer oozing or backing up...except he's damned foulmouthed on it. Not to me, and not really to anything in particular, but he starts growling and caterwaulering (he HISSED the moment he left the house.) He's not really mad; ears forward and tail up, no hackles, so I guess he's just posturing after his not-run-in with Kittyboy and the cat-stink on the chairs next door. Still, weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whoa. This Jezebel post is chock full of WTFery goodness. I feel like I should know what Samantha Ronsen looks like, but from the comments it appears I can sub in Jenny Shimizu and be just fine. t /reductionist snark

Tonight is my first night on the new sleep meds. Please to be potentially ignoring all my subsequent posts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's why you order six and return the ones that don't fit!

It's their business model! They don't get mad. And you get everything super fast. My coworker ordered boots at lunch yesterday, had them today.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

You guys talk a LOT!! I keep wanting to actually participate in discussions but every time I come back online there are like 100 new posts. How do you all do it?

We ignore the fact that 100 posts have passed.

Burrell, I'm a wimp, too, about haunted houses.

We have found a solution for our nurseless- Grace issue! Noah's old daycare provider (whom we love) will take her for a week! On Sunday, we're going to go by and a do a brief training. Such a relief.

In other news, I have an AP workshop tomorrow. Interesting note, my kids are writing within the mean of the group -- they are not that far off in writing and they handle poetry better than many of the global group of students. But I can't figure out how to get them up and running on multiple choice.

In total random news, i have a groupon for Platine that I have to use.
