Awwwww. Now I feel am smoooshy. (eta - so smooshy, I can't even type out "all smooshy" without messing it up. And now smooshy has no meaning any more)
Children do have that crazy ability to bounce back while we are left in the dust behind them. No fair. But I'm glad she is feeling better.
Yay for Sparky coming to Denver! Let me know when you have some time and we can get together. My profile addy is good.
World Cup:
France -- WTF?
I've heard good things about The Wire, but all I've ever heard is that it's brilliant, I don't even know the premise. Hah. So, here's your chance, evangelize at me! I watch way too much TV, I'm always in search of something new =)
Seriously, Fred, that needs to be said out loud.
Aims, they are a blessing on long car trips. There are learning games and they do show kids how to follow directions and learn from their mistakes. We set limits on where and how long they can play them but I think they are great. Owen and Olivia chat back and forth on theirs--Owen continues to learn to write and improve his sentence structure. Not to mention practice reading skills.
I didn't expect very much from France after all the controversy this week, but really.
At least it's SA, who I can be happy about winning.
Yeah it doesn't look good for them. Two goals down and red-carded, yikes.
Oh msbelle, Strega has a good point. You may actually find better rates looking for health insurance on the open market as rates vary substantially region to region.
RSA would need -- I think it's a 5-goal differential to advance; as much as I like to see them with a great shot of winning this game, another Portugal - NKor level blowout seems really unlikely, and I'd hate to wish it on any team. It's been really hard to watch France go down this hard day after day.
