Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds pretty productive, Liese!

I am like Burrell. I think the one true bagel is sesame.

I am taking Grace to a Girl Scout Pajama Party tonight and then bringing her home at 9:30 (along with all of the other 5 year olds in my troop). There are going to be over 100 girls there. Someone, please save me.

Javachick and DCistas, I'm flying into DC on Thursday and will be swamped. I am, however, available, all day Sunday until about 4:00 PM and would love to see people.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My favorite bagel is pumpernickel. With some sort of savory cream cheese.

Also. I am going to LAX to pick up my niece from her 7:50 AM flight and then to drive her to Anaheim. It'll be nice to see her even with long drive.

It was in the mid-70s here today, so I spent a lot of ime outside. I also took he opportunity of sandal-friendly weather to get a pedicure. Now my toenails are a lovely blue-violet.

Sparky, I'm sorry we missed you out here. I don't know what happened, except I fell off the earth.

Suzi! I was totally thinking of you. Our washer died last week. So we took it about and cleaned the clutch and put it back together but still had the same issue. A repair guy came on Thursday and said it was the upper bearings and we'd have to pay $1000 to have it fixed. So we plan on parting it out but we needed to buy a new washer.

Got a maytag with questionable reviews (it's a low water/low energy machine and has a fussy system of loading and soaping). It was originally $700 but we got it for $450 at Lowes. As we were installing it, the water cut off did NOT cut off water. So we flooded some of the garage but figured it out pretty fast.

Now I've washed all the things. Life without a laundry machine is grim.

Washing machine woes! I should probably clean our filter, huh?

Oh, right, your niece is starting her internship, huh? It's double too bad we're not doing NAMM this year!

Why does my phone think it's 2:56?

Had you gathered all the shoppers in the stores today, they would have resembled a bruise. I expect that to continue until....what, Superbowl? Is that the next game? Or is there another before it?

I can't imagine dealing with no washer and kids and, well, life. When my bro&SIL's died, my mom found out when she called and SIL just burst into tears (didn't help they all had a stomach bug and/or barfing migraines.) So mom did the research and bought one to be picked up that day at a store near them. Unsurprisingly, it is the same one I have now- mom also did all the research and told me what to get.

Also unsurprising, my SIL has stated that if she ever leaves/has to kill my brother, she's keeping us.
