I have the regular mix, Jilli. But I want the sugar free. The regular is fine. It's tonic-y and all.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yay for no cancer, Gar!!!
My sister just bought a sodastream for her husband--she's hoping it'll save money on all the bottled soda water he buys.
I had to change my paper topic four times last night, so I didn't get my paper done overnight. I told the teacher I'd email it to her tomorrow, so I'll take the 1 point hit for being a day late. This is the first time I've ever turned in a paper late--oops!! And after I write that paper up in the morning, I'll have to write another paper and a small blurb which is due on Wednesday for the group project, and then I have to arrange for a site visit to go on before Friday night and write that up for class on Saturday the 18th, and then the take-home final will be due on the 25th. Ugh.
ION, I just placed a Penzey's order for lots of spices--yay! Time to get cooking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They just gave me the meds the majorly ineffective way, and I'm out of meds at at home, so I think I may be screwed.

For the fizzy water people, are you using bottled water or tap water? Our tap water is pretty hard, and I'm wondering how that would affect the process.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use tap water, but I have a built-in filter.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Gar!
Went to the Building Museum yesterday. Saw an exhibit of replicas of various buildings done in Legos.(Didn't know they made clear Legos, but there they were.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What the hell?
People suck sometimes.
I've decided Dylan is never allowed to have another birthday party because after yesterday, I am DEAD. We wound up having 17 kids there!!! I had no idea I even knew that many people. (There were 11 RSVPs. Grrr.)
So my plan is to simply remove all the calendars from our home and not tell Dylan his birthday is coming next year. (Or, actually, have his party at the zoo or somewhere like that where they limit the number of kids and have staff on hand to wrangle them.)
We also found out yesterday's that he got a public pre-k slot, which was a total shock to us. (It's a lottery, and there are about ten times as many applicants as kids.) Which means we'll be hiring a full time babysitter in the fall, which means a lot of paperwork. Yay and ugh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Jessica, we actually got away with doing that with both Owen and Olivia this year--both their birthdays fell close to weekends were were travelling and so we ended up just taking them out for pizza and to Toys R Us and magically, it worked! NO PARTIES this year!
I don't think it'll work a second year in a row but damn, it was nice not going through the nightmare that is planning a child's birthday party.

Wow! Yay! Maybe you could hide Aeryn in his backpack?

I only had birthday parties every fourth year. And Emmett's parties declined in size and partyness as he got older.
