I am having a lot of house-love today. It is so damn amazing having a redone front yard after having it be fugly and struggling with it for so long. This evening I was out front watering and a car slowed down and a woman yelled out the window "I LOVE your yard! Gorgeous!" I still can't believe the whole thing happened.
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?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Eye-ma to your mom, Maria. I hope it goes well, whatever she decides.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oy Maria, warm thoughts for your mother.
Ay! Perkins! I have not forgotten! I was just having mild funding issues and major timing ones. All is well, I'll be in touch soon.

Scrappy, you are going to tell us when your episode airs, right?
I went to a show tonight, and a few numbers in, realized I had gone to the "inaugural" version of this show last year, and vowed to not go anywhere near it ever again because it was SO BAD. Luckily, this year was somewhat better. Partly because I ended up sitting in the back next to two gay boys and making friends with them and snarking.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Chiming in late, but still: msbelle, Hallelujah! Kudos, mac.
sarameg, that style totally suits you. You look great! And I also covet those shoes.
eye~ma for you mom, Maria. I knew someone who had that procedure done. She said the two-weeks-facedown thing was exactly as awful as she expected, but it worked. Diabetes is an evil bastard.

Those are lovely wedding photos. You just feel happy and hopeful looking at them. And yeah, woman, you are looking seriously good.
In agreement with Liese on the pictures, sara. You look gorgeous. And I adore the fireworks photos.
Up early. Sigh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Things I found out this morning: 1) mac was supposed to wear something from his country for multi-cultural day today. 2) mac was supposed to take in the food for the classroom program at 9am.
The food is made, but not ready for mac to take in. I scrambled to get half of it in a form he could carry it, then on tyhe way to school, he does not see anyone else with food so he stops in front of the building, calls me over and begs me to take them back.
He is wearing his regular uniform, because he did The United States, specifically NY state and his I "heart" NY shirt id packed away. Also? he told me this morning! We had all day yesterday where we could have bought a $2-3 NY shirt from a local store.
ah kids.

Can Owen come over and help me figure out why my laptop won't recognize my camera or my MP3?

CTA should be fun today. Blackhawks rally, Cubs/Sox "Crosstown Classic" and Blues Fest. Oy. Glad I don't ride the redline (though really, none of them that go downtown will be good).
