Yikes, Tom. This is why I don't believe in sunscreen! Not really.

I did enjoy the penguins in sweaters and askye's cutie-pants nephew, FTR.

While my child sleeps, I am imagining scenarios for lunch that include me having all of the desserts possible from Central Market next door; Dairy Queen; Sonic; Marble Salb Ice Cream. Of course any of those would greatly upset him and therfore send my day into more mayhem, so I am just imagining and I will eat whatever frozen dinner I have in the kitchen.

I wish I could go sleep in an empty office!

It's Only Tuesday.

msbelle, I am sorry about your kid woes!

So this is probably not the best time to ask, but the SO still has a hole in his tour schedule, Saturday August 11th, between Victoria and Abilene. I think at one point you had asked about the style of music they're doing, is there any chance your church could book Mitch? I can send more info backchannel if you need. And if there's too much going on, that's totally fine. I just figured I might as well ask, since they're going to be nearby.

msbelle, I'm sorry mac is being so difficult.

This is cool: Greek subway construction has revealed a stretch of Roman roadway.

In other news, my sinuses are acting up, my boss is on vacation, and I'd really just like to curl up with my Kindle and finish reading the new Bujold novel. Feh.

I like random haiku. Also penguins in jumpers.

I took the kids to the bookstore as a reward for getting haircuts (Dillo now resembles a boy, not a hobbit; Casper CRIED quietly while we took an inch off the back to even it up as we grow out last October's boy-short cut, good grief the drama in that child). Anyway, bookstore. I love books. I could have easily bought 20 books for the kids without even trying. And it's not like we have a current shortage of books in the house.

Aaaah!

One of the blogs I read through Google Reader just had a long image-filled post about car accidents. With lots and lots of photographs of injuries. t shudders

A doctor's mistake seems to have saved me $71. They sent me off with the wrong prescription, and the pharmacist noticed (this is not CVS--it's a non-franchise place that has the weird drugs I need) and sent me back. So even though I had to make an extra round trip and pay for parking again at the doctor's, I think the pharmacist felt bad for me and she found me a $75 off coupon.

It's not like I'm not going to get the pain meds, ever. But, hello. That makes a huge difference.

I have one more month to decide if the first nerve block took. I am already pretty sure it didn't, but I think I scared the doctors with how much pain I was in last time, and they aren't really looking forward to futzing with that again.

A month of acupuncture, and then they decide.

Dillo now resembles a boy, not a hobbit

And 100% cute.

Also -- I have had "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" stuck in my head for 2 days now. And occasionally "Happy Birthday" with potatoes.
