All righty, I have arranged for International voice, data, and text plan to be added to my phone for the duration of my trip. The monthly cost will be prorated to that time (according to the CSR I spoke to.) Very helpful!

People are super helpful when you tell them you're travelling for a funeral.

I remember reading Netflix lost 800,000 members, but that seems high. Some of them were no doubt due to the increase in fees, not just the proposed split in companies. Which still stands.

In my less charitable moments, I think people will often tolerate an increase of fees but if you make us create a whole new account for something we previously had access to, we get shirty.

Part of me thinks she's checking to see if I'm dead yet and testing for doneness so she can eat me.

Ewwwww. And probably more than a little accurate.

Nova likes to lick/eat my hair. She will also lick Gary's hair, and forehead. Ow.

Y'all know about all the times Loki has a) attacked my hair, b) or my head or c) stuck his tongue in my ear.

Two neighbors' cats (two different cats) have a serious fetish for my toes.

I have my dad's sweaty, stankfoot gene (seriously, the only thing I have ever thoughts about Botox is for feet) and dogs and cats love my feet.

Out of the habit -- GROAN!

Gimlet will give me an occasional finger lick, but Greer like the hair. She'll gnaw on it, if you sit in front of her on the couch.

I'd say that's true. In the case of Netflix, people were willing to pay more for convenience, but then they were asking people to pay more for LESS convenience.

Back from Amy's reading at the bookstore - she was fabulous and read to a packed house. HKF is completely charmed, and is treasuring her signed bookmark.

It's much quicker to drive that way at night - only 30 minutes on the drive home! When we got back, we discovered that the house behind us a couple doors down had been afire while we were gone. It was mostly over, but there was a lot of smoke.

I've discovered that the grumpier and more discouraged I feel, the more nice clothes I put on. Today was like that. Fair warning, in case you see me walking down the street in a formal gown at some point in the future.

grrr work was so stupid. well, one particular person who won't understand what I think is a pretty simple concept that has been explained to him about a million times and arghhhhhh! I shouldn't have checked my email just now. I'd let it go and now it's given me a headache again. He's making me feel like I've totally lost my ability to communicate. That is the most irritating part.

feh

I know it's not a big deal but I'm about to cry from frustration.

Sox looked fabulous, and it was so good to see a familiar face. I had fun! And wore clothes.

lisah, that's completely frustrating.

We had over 350 kids at my mom's house last night.

Holy cow.

My sister's dog is allowed one, short lick on the nose by way of greeting, but that's it. Then I go wash it off. Blech. Love the dog like no other, but blech.

I hate that feeling, and I'm sorry you're having it.
