On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Safe travels, ita !.

Congrats Jesse!

I'm getting more and more bummed that my dad isn't visiting. It was going to be funky timing and all that, but still... In addition to the house being nice and clean, I've been working a ton, originally so I could take time off when he was here, but then work exploded and it was just plain OT. I mean, I have 35 hours on the books for this week already. I'm just plain exhausted right now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, Suzi, I'm sorry. It's not fun to prep for a loved guest and then not have them. I suggest treating YOURSELF as a loved guest and doing something unusual (visit a local museum you've never been to, get a massage, whatever) just for yourself.

Good job, Jesse!

Suela, that is a lot, and not only is it not wrong for you to not want to, it's also not wrong for you to decide to opt out if you feel you need to. Time away should be time you can enjoy.

Bon voyage, ita !! That's why I love my three outlet plus USB surge suppressor so much. I can actually add to the net outlets available, while getting all the electronic juice I need. So I'll even ask someone if I can unplug and replug them in, thus letting me into an occupied outlet.

So my former student presumably flew back to Arizona yesterday, finishing up his program. He was only one of three who completed it, graduating, and I'm super proud of him, albeit a little anxious to see how he does transitioning out of it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Totally agree with Scrappy on this one, Suzi.

It's time for the annual women's conferences around here, including the What A Woman Wants Expo. Wherein they'll show the latest, cutest outfits, makeup tips, home decorating, and "ways to pamper yourself and your family."

Nothing about politics, education, health care, social issues. I guess that's not what women want.
