My sister got one in each cheek last weekend, during her 4 trips to UC.

...I read this after the "rat jumping out from can" post and thought your sister got bitten by a rat on both (face) cheeks!! I was internally shrieking, until I realized the rest of the sentence didn't make sense that way.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Also: will someone please kick my ass until I get up and like, clean my damn room? It's a PIT, I tell you, and instead I am chilling on the couch downstairs refreshing the same websites over and over hoping magic new things will appear or hot women will materialize and flirt with me and tell me they have crushes on me. (Hey, a girl can dream...) And then tomorrow when I wake up and realize I'm only sleeping on a corner of my bed because I've got stuff on half of it, and I can't walk through my room because I have empty boxes and piles of clean and dirty clothes, and un-emptied suitcases, I will be so unhappy with myself.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yeah, I did too.

Beverly, glad Punkin is on the job, there.

And I'm glad, again and still, that the other Pumpkin cat got rescued.

MEARA GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM

Me, I went on two long walks today, and went climbiing, so I don't feel guilty about going out for drinks and nibblies with a friend.

And now I'm going to read a ridiculously long and overwrought Star Wars AU (in which Luke is raised to be a Sith by the Emperor and Leia is raised to be a Jedi by Obi-Wan and neither knows the other exists at all, o the drama).

Because books.

meara, work on the room for fifteen minutes, then give yourself a five-minute internet break. You'll probably get more done than you think.

The Pumpkin is an awesome cat. She's my funny little girl.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Clean your damn room, meara!

Of course, I need to put away my laundry and remake my bed with my clean sheets, but instead I am eating fresh mozzarella cheese and drinking salted caramel chai lattes and sitting by the fire listening to the boy play with his new looper toy. We have a donor who literally just told us that if there's anything we need and it's in their reach, it's ours. Which is kinda quietly freaking us out. Like, it makes me want to put less stuff on the needs list, because really, do I need it? I mean, if I'm going to just put it on the magic list and get it. I feel very weird about this.

I was all, a Corvette? I need a Corvette, I'm pretty sure. And also to know how to drive stick. Can you buy me a Corvette and driving lessons with a retired NASCAR driver?
