I'm out of yardwork shape. Also, a rose bush tried to kill me.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Some protest march just went by my street, and I can't figure out what it was! Something about "exploitation, no!" Not the pro-Libyans or the pro-choice, because those were both yesterday.... [link]

SuziQ- i would mention the noise issue to the parents. They might have no idea how loud their kids are to neighbors. I remember being 16 and jumping on a mini trampoline when mom and i lived in a 3rd floor apt, and i had zero idea how insanely loud that was to the downstairs neigh until someone knocked on the door and asked what i was doing that was shaking their ceiling. Never happened again.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm trying to work up the guts to do it. I tend to avoid conflict and haven't quite worked out, in my head, how to say it. I mean, little kids are little kids...I'm talking two under 6 year olds. I'm just feeling old and cranky right now.

Because books.
Wasn't it also really late, though, Suzi? Noise is noise no matter what after a certain hour.

In continuing onerous tasks, I have finally folded and put away several loads of laundry that have been piling up. It created a new onerous task (the locating of lost socks) but that will have to wait.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sadly, the cold pizza ended up being consumed by DH, but at least he left me some cold lasagna. Now updating iTunes, having finally resolved the issue with my external hard drive. Lord, but my computer is slow. I'd like a new one, but... this one is only six years old, and it cost a lot of money! Maybe I should try defragging it first, or something. Not that I know what defragging is, or how to do it, but it's supposed to help, right?

Your files become fragmented over time - all the bytes are spread out over your heard drive and have little markers saying "this is where Doc 1 starts, and then they edited it and now a section is over there, and another section is over there."
Over time all those fragmented files slow your computer down as it has to jump around on the hard drive to get all the elements of that file.
When you defrag it, you basically organize all the files together on the hard drive. So it's much less work for your computer.
But six years is also kind of a long time in computer years. You might want to invest in more RAM or memory. Relatively cheap upgrades.
