I love it when billytea talks animals.
My birthstone is opal. I love opals. Why oh why don't I own any? That's just silly of me.
I am still battling this sore throat and it's driving me nuts. I think I should go to bed and get some sleep.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

My mom's middle name was Katherine and it wasn't until she was getting her social security card sometime in her late teens that she discovered her birth certificate had Catherine. It wasn't a miscommunication between mom and dad, but rather the doctor decided that Catherine was the one true spelling.
My mother had a similar issue with Elis/zabeth. Her mother wanted it spelled the English was (with the s), but whoever filled out the paperwork went with the American spelling.

For my whole life, when singing Itsy Bitsy Spider, I've always envisioned the "water spout" as a gulch or gully, not a gutter spout. Pretty sure this is due to the desert upbringing.
These are the profound thoughts that pass through my head when doing my hair at 6 am.
Pumpkin, MK and Loki all slept in my bed last night. Was a first for the 'Kin.
If MK and I didn't both need meds at 7, I'd be at work. That's kinda sick.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My birthstone is the peridot. I have one on my high school class ring. At least, I think I do. I'm not sure where my high school class ring is, or even if I still have it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Whoa, did everybody already see this?
Now that's what you do when you've got the bully pulpit. Well done, Craig.

Because books.
No one ever told me I was pronouncing Gaiman wrong. Oops.
Feels like another baking day. Pumpkin cookies, I think.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm peridot, and I've never liked it. Too yellow-greeny; I wish it were emerald.
My mom is opal, and has lots of pretty opal jewelry. I am a touch superstitious about it. Plus, opals are really delicate; she's cracked and lost a lot of them.
Fish sex! Inneresting!
D is down sick for a second day, poor guy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got a free brownie cupcake. Whoot! Maybe it's poisonous and will kill me--we'll find out.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Just got a call from a fellow karate mom. Her son goes to school with CJ and she was calling me to express her appreciation for CJ. Her son hasn't hit his growth spurt yet and apparently there is a kid who has been teasing him and slamming L's locker door in L's face. CJ has stepped up a couple of times telling him to stop when none of L's other friends have said boo.
Stuff like that balances him blasting Eminem at 7:15 in the morning while he tries to de-snow and de-ice his bike, right outside his sister's bedroom window. The roads are too dangerous for his bike right now anyway.
