Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For a derby chick? Awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sophia, I'm not sure if there's one standard way of analyzing that kind of data. I've taught courses that had a few weeks focused on different methods of ranking a list of things from that sort of survey, and there's no one best method -- every method has advantages and disadvantages.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Scrappy, that's what I was thinking. I totally need one.

My friend in China has said he's already there and The Rapture totally isn't happening.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My friend in China has said he's already there and The Rapture totally isn't happening.

Maybe China is full of infidels.

He said he'd know when he got on the bus to go to work.

I need to get ready for practice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Argh.

The SO is sick. He called me joking from the office supply store. I called him back to ask him to pick up some local eggs on his way home and he was cranky. In the space of 5 minutes, he got hit with major backaches, muscle aches, fever and chills. He texted me to get the sickroom ready, so I dashed around for a bit and got the media room all sickie friendly.

But blargh. Timing could not be worse. We're breaking in the new potential worship band leader tonight. Next week is completely packed, events pretty much every night. And then we drive across the country, preach, visit family, and have eight weeks of running around with camp kids, talking about our work multiple times a day.

There is no room for sick in that schedule! And definitely not for us both to be sick, which is usually the case. All y'all better keep reminding me to wash my hands this week.

There's been seismic activity in Yellowstone. I can only imaging the seismologists looking at the monitors and saying "That is not funny."

I have discovered that going gray has really interfered with my shopping. I can only wear small patterns, now, and very little close to the face. And anything cream, or with cream in it, is Right Out.

All that said, I just got a ton of nice stuff, including two very cute summer dresses, which I hope I will get the chance to wear this summer. I hope we'll have a nicer summer this year than last, anyway: last year was grey and rainy until mid-August or something.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm not sure it really fits, but what came to mind was "99 Luftballons."
