Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Strix, I too know the wonder that is Skylander unto a 10 year old boy. I swear, he disappeared after openIng his bday gifts.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Heh, Jesse.
sarameg, oh gawd, yes. He is immersed in them now. He slept with the new ones last night.

Bah, I am at work. And there are people here! WTF, people.
Someone actually left me voicemail over the holiday: what is wrong with those people?

I had very few emails from yesterday, no voicemails. A bunch of people in my department are here, but it is super quiet. I've been doing database updates and listening to old Fresh Airs so as not to die of boredom.
At least it's almost lunchtime here?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Good morning! Naproxen seems to be working and the swelling in my knees is way down. Which is good, because I mostly lazed on the couch last night but I won't be able to do that today, today I need to stand and walk and such.
My kids aren't into Skylander, but they've played it a bit and I am familiar enough to attest that yes, for many a 10 yo, it is the One Gift. The latest gaming obsessions in our house seem to be Angry Birds Star Wars and Mine Craft.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Kids are still asleep. JZ was up a good chunk of the night coughing, as she's had a persistent hacking cough for over a month now. Convinced her it was time to visit the walk-in clinic before she did her half day of work.
She looked rather dashing though in her new Burberry coat that her father gave her for Christmas.
We've had coffee and I've cooked bacon. I think Emmett and I might see Django Unchained tonight.

We got Minecraft for Christmas and the kids love it. They are also currently obsessed with Pocket Frogs.
We went sledding (basically grass with a frosting of ice, but it worked ok) and Dillo got his face washed and scraped off a scab, so we walked all the way home with him crying. But now they are wrapped up and watching Dirty Jobs and eating chocolate.

That cough sucks, Hec. I had it for 4 months and DH had it for about a month. I strongly recommend that JZ try to get ahold of Advair or some sort of steroidal inhaler. That's what she needs, not antibiotics. It's the cough itself she needs to get rid of.

Thanks for the tip, Burrell. I'll make sure she sees it.
