It's amazing how hard it is to convey the thought "Give us our money, you sons-of bitches!" without using "money" or "sons-of-bitches." I wish I had Paulie Walnuts.

I have been to the Dr's about my knee and he thinks that I have torn my meniscus.

I made that diagnosis, too! (I am not a doctor but I play one in roller derby.) Glad it's not all that bad. Rest and wrapping should help.

My onerous tasks are pretty much catching up on housework. Dishes, folding clothes, etc. I did scoop the litter pans and take out the trash, so yay on that.

And now I'm about to do something NOT-onerous and go enjoy the massage D got me for my birthday. Yay, thoughtful boyfriend.

Serial: How's my hair look?

I'm getting a proposal out today, which so far has mostly been waiting around, now with bonus Mike & Ikes.

our internet is running on fumes today, not sure what the issue is, but I have not been able to get even here until now.

You look fabulous, erika! Now go knock 'em dead. Metaphorically.

Go get 'em, erika! I would love to go all Paulie Walnuts on them for your sake.

JZ, I am sort of stunned by Matilda's orthodonture needs! Dillo (who is 2 months older) still has only lost one tooth, although the next one is wiggly. Casper had a first assessment for orthodonture and they said come back in 6 months, which will be in March, and were unwilling to commit to any actual plan yet, so we have NO information for a flex spending account. So we'll have to wing it, sigh, because she probably will need something in 2013, but we have no idea what or how much.

My onerous task, which is not going to happen right now since I already spent 5 hours running the school book fair today, is to figure out the difference between state and national 529 plans and set appropriate ones up for the kids.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.

Ooops. Sorry--missed that.

Good luck with the appointment, erika!

Work has, thus far, avoided presenting me with onerous tasks. Maybe when I get home I'll clean up the kitchen a bit.
