Emeline's latest homeowrk essay. I am half tempted to send it to Terry Pratchett's email.

My favorite book is "Where's My Cow?" It is by Terry Pratchett. He is awesome at writing books. It is illustrated by Melvyn Grant. His pictures are wonderful. The book is spectacular because the story makes me feel very comfortable like at a spa. My favorite part is when young Sam says, "P'tui!" and "Buglit!" It is so funny.

You absolutely need to sent that to Sir Terry.

Nice! Aims, has she read The Last Hero? I can bring it next time I come up.

Also, typo boy, it depends on how gluten-free they're being--oats are technically gluten free, but most oats generally sold may NOT be--there's a lot of contamination. So if they're OK with a bit of that, fine, but if they're hardcore then you'd have to buy fancy gluten-free oats.

This blog is awesome;

Oh, shit. Yeah. That's very true.

Aims, Sir Terry would be tickled by that.

Aw, Emeline.

Zen, you're probably fine, as long as you can put the thought out of your mind.

I put on the last disk of FNL s5 to watch one episode while I ate dinner. Don't you know I finished it. I had never seen the ending. Now I'm all emotional and flaily.

I had other stuff to accomplish, but damn - I interviewed for a part time job today, lent my expertise to a volunteer effort, spent over an hour on the phone with Unemployment in two states, and sent my resume to my college career counselor to review. That's pretty good for 2nd day of being off work, right?

I think the breakfast oatmeal. NO not hardcore gluten free. Different medical condition where minor contamination does not matter. I'll go for splenda equal to quarter cup sugar. Thanks all.

I am annoyed that I would like to purchase a $3 item from a website, but shipping is $7.95, and the only option they offer.

sj, my favorite paint-chosing quote, from Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House:

I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan

Back in the day when you hired people to paint your house.

Go Em with the report! And Vortex, is there no way to search online for local stores that carry the item?
