A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, that sounds right.

ETA: I meant Jeese's wardrobe choices, but spaghetti always sounds right to me.

Happy birthday, Suzi!

I have showered, and folded and put away one load of laundry, and am now sitting on the couch working, intermittently, on my lesson for a 6th-grade English class tomorrow. M and Rose are out getting second breakfast and groceries. Plans for later in the day: finishing up my lesson plan, maybe sorting some papers, possibly visiting a friend in the hospital.

I have a 4S too and it works fine so I don't really want to upgrade. I've had my phone a long time and I'd like my plan to be less. I wonder...there's got to be a way to get this to work out cheaper.

2.25 miles done (usually 2 miles + 7 mixed laps. Except I swam an extra 2, and hey, that's another quarter mile!) empanada consumed and now I shall put on grubby clothes and tent the staircase!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We are on a bread baking kick in this house. No-knead bread is currently rising on the counter.

Franny is watching some age-appropriate show for tweens on how to negotiate a win-win scenario. Weird.

Happy birthday, Suzi!

On the phone front, I have a 3s and want a new phone, and want to switch to Verizon while I'm at it.

I knew ours were close, Suzi. Happy birthday! Are you doing anything, or postponing celebration til you are more mobile?

There's something that only works on the newer phones that I want, though right now I can't remember what it is. Probably an exercise app, those are what I'm most gung ho about right now.

Because books.

Happy birthday, Suzi, with cake and lots of hugs! I hope it's a good day.
