Ugh, Steph, I want your 10 week string to be over too. That's a messload of suck to deal with, and it just eats away at you.
Poor doggy. I'm glad she's ok.

Poor Chloe! I'm glad it wasn't too bad.
I checked with inflation and the plastic horses I grew up with would be at least $50 in today's market. Now I feel all spoiled.

Emmett's godsister skipped an entire year of homework in high school to write her Harry Potter fanfic novel.
It screwed her GPA and might've cost her going to an Ivy, but I still kind of admire her for that. (She's finishing up at a UC so it wasn't a total career ruiner.)
