Given that I don't do this everyday, it was more funny than exasperating. I started making mental bets over how long he could last. Though, given phone calls with my brother, they do the same. Kid does know better than to pull this at, say, getting ready in the morning. He tried a little this morning, but pulled through at the last minute. He knows some things aren't negotiable, like the morning routine. This? It was after school, in their allotted Wii time, free time for the evening.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What have I forgotten?
If my sad addiction to HGTV has taught me anything its that German apartments frequently come without kitchen appliances.
It has also taught me that frequently Americans moving abroad are better off renting than on both ends than selling their American house and purchasing one elsewhere.
Oh Sparky, all the getfound~ma in the world to Sass!

Poor, Sass. I hope somebody took her in and will get her chip checked tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

not your mom's socks.
So the fact that Boehner et al. donned a black mustache and cape, tied a woman to the budgetary train tracks, and then asked for more seems to be playing well in the US press. Is buffista island ready yet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least the government's not shut down?
And I hope Sassafras is home by now....

Sass is not home. Our nanny should be here in 15-20 minutes, and then I will go to the neighborhood where she was lost and start putting up flyers and talking to people and calling for her. Every time the clock marks an hour, I keep hoping - "maybe someone was waiting for 9 o'clock to call."
