whoa, this heart conversation is making me dizzy.

Me too. Though ita being confounded is kinda amusing.

Grace's day with C, Noah's former daycare provider, went well. I think she would be very well served by staying there instead of going to half-day preschool. Actually what I would love is for her to go to preschool, then go to C's for afterschool care and have her nurse meet her there. But C's place is too small and we'd have to pay a full spot of daycare for her there for a half day (too small...). But it would be GREAT for her.

Anyhow, C is the first person other than my mom or Grace's nurse with whom we have left Grace.

I don't see any hearts, just spaces. This conversation was kind of confusing. (I'm on Firefox.)

Imagine people's reaction if Jilli were to wear jeans, white Keds, and a Justin Bieber t-shirt.

It's like I can recognize there are words there, but they don't make any sense. However, the Superman costume will be really neat. Please take photos, Steph!

am up with the cats. rough evening for mac emotionally when I discovered he has been lying to me about homework for weeks. He is sabotaging his grades not for lack of understanding the material, but lack of "magic something" to calm him enough to do homework. frustrating. I think we may need to increase his anxiety meds.

I'm working at the high school today, subbing in one of the music classes (finally! subbing a subject which I know something about!) and it is Senior Freak Week, meaning that every day has a theme and the seniors dress up and it was basically the one week throughout all of high school I enjoyed being here.

Today is Character Day, and I saw my friend's little brother walk by all dressed up as Link from The Legend of Zelda, and now I am fairly sure he is legit playing an ocarina. He went all out.

How about this, Jesse?

Thanks, David, but what I really want are the accessories -- tiara, gantlets, lasso (ideally). You know, if anyone feels like looking.

That whole thing was hilarious.

I saw my friend's little brother walk by all dressed up as Link from The Legend of Zelda, and now I am fairly sure he is legit playing an ocarina.

I can't remember -- is the ocarina supposed to summon something, or take Link to a hidden level? I remember the ocarina, and I remember playing it, but not why, or what happens.

ION home sick with a cold. My BOSS'S cold. (Okay, I can't know that for sure, but he had one at the end of last week, and went home early yesterday b/c he didn't feel well. So when I called in, I cast some good-natured blame his way.)

Ooh, just came across a neatly pithy cryptic crossword clue. Check it out:

Pisces? (8)

Any ideas?

Jesse, fabric store for gold twine? tiara should be easy.

I'm not sure off the top of my head which months are Pisces, but do any of them have eight letters?

The ocarina was used for a wide variety of things: changing night to day, warping to places, calling a friend... things like that.
