I just got super-awesome news from my sister about her work, but I'm forbidden to say anything for a while. But still, squee! good news!
And HKF got a chapter book in the mail from my MiL. She's been reading for a while, and will trade pages of whatever we're reading together (Narnia, atm), but when I suggested she might be able to read this on her own and could ask me for help with tough words (it's a thinner book than Narnia, with slightly larger print, but still a big-person chapter book), she sat down on the floor in the hallway and started reading. 45 minutes later, she was still reading. She finished the book this morning. Her first full book on her own. I'm all choked up.
Harold Camping says May 21, 2011 was ‘invisible judgment day,’ world will end October 21, 2011
Did he illustrate his point wih a LOLcat pic?
Sox, how wonderful for HKF.
Wonderful reader!!!
ION, someone got a tattoo of the Chicago El system.

Yes, you are looking at a flogger crafted from cat-5 wiring. (Internet cable, in other words.) It sports a D-ring for easy hanging. This will satisfy your inner – or outer! – geek for sure. :) Each tip is firmly wired in place, crimped, and booted. Packs quite a sting, and will leave such distinct marks! This baby is bound to make your sub /beg.
Her first full book on her own.
Oh, that's wonderful, Sox.
Oh, that's wonderful, Sox.
I'm so excited. Granted, the worst sports injury I've gotten lately is eyestrain, so I may be biased.
Camping is *totally* fighting on that lie, I see.
Also, good one, bt.
"I'm in ur internet, plotting ur destruction"
Big day for HKF, Sox!
Give Camping points for creativity, if nothing else.
Except that he's just doing what William Miller & co. did in 1844. [link] Saying he was right about the date, just wrong about what would happen. And he's been saying the world would end in October all along, so nothing new there.
Just got back from the local farmers market. Not a lot of people there yet, due to it being so early in the season, but I did stop by the meat farmer and picked up two fancy-schmancy burgers (cranberry walnut cheese stuffed into pork burgers), picked up my knives from the sharpener (seven knives for $28--not too bad), and then headed over to the produce tent which was struggling in today's high winds. The tents kept blowing over and knocking into the flimsy foldup tables, sending the nicely displayed produce to the tarmac. So, I ended up with a pint of button mushrooms, a pint of strawberries, a green pepper and a few onions for only $3, discounted for "disaster day." Excellent!
A co-worker suggested I take the beef tips I'm currently thawing out in my fridge and add some veggies and beef stock to them in the slow cooker and get them all tasty for dinner tomorrow. I do believe I will! I'll chop up my pepper, onions, garlic that I bought at the market last week, and mushrooms and toss them into the crockpot for some yummy beefy goodness.
