We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sorry, chris, haven't had a chance to buy it yet. I'm looking forward to it, though.

Errr....on reread, that sounded kind of abrupt. Thanks anyway, Jilli and Pete, and I definitely agree on the gameplay and the writing both.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac bought a DS game today with the last of his birthday money and after playing it 5 hours straight is now in tears proclaiming it boring and a waste of perfectly good money.

drama king, thy name is mac.

ION, I put together a storage thingy for over the toilet. it has doors that close and everything and now we can keep towels in each bathroom (well in one bathroom so far, I only got 1 or 2 put together since I had no help). WHEE!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Cash, that photo is hilarious.

I have not done any grading yet. That could fuck me for next few days. Oops? On the upside, had a good weekend.

but then that somehow morphed into a free suite at theHotel without ms doing anything than not arguing with him.

Nifty! Steph is right, you have superpowers.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

msbelle, is it a good sign that mac finds an actual DS game boring, instead of being hypnotized for hours by it and pathetically bargaining to play just a little while more?

I guess, BUT HE PLAYED 5 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!

I am returning the game tomorrow. I can get a refund for up to 7 days. I have to talk to him more about it though, because I am making him wait at least a week before getting another one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, five hours seems like plenty.....

Good deal, Perkins!

DS, the gift that keeps on giving msbelle headaches...

Dominic self-regulates on it because it gives him migraine if he plays too long. And frankly, both boys like the community aspect of the wii more, I think. Even if Tyler can melt down if his frustration gets too high when the game is above his level.

Okay, so mr. flea has a job interview in Dublin on June 1. For me to go and us to make a week's vacation of it will be about $1500-2000 (I guess depending on how much we eat). My mother is willing to come down and stay with the kids. Should I go?

Pro: week in Dublin with husband and no kids. Con: Other things I could do with $2000, like pay the mortgage if he doesn't end up getting the job.
