You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Never realized how weird it feels, looking for a sympathy/condolence card.

Oh yeah. I had a phase where I needed so many, I bought extras, which was nice ("nice") when I had to send one randomly recently. Now I'm out again. I like the cards at Papyrus in general.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Jilli, I'm glad you had fun! Gates is OK BBQ, and I'm glad you liked it. (Everyone here has a favorite BBQ places, and people get quite snobby about it!)

ita, I'm sorry about your cousin, and hope that this trip is as calm as can be.

In kid news, M got caught saying the f word at school, and lied about it USING RELIGION AS AN EXCUSE ("I couldn't have said it becuase Jews are allowed to swear.) AND playing games on his tech during class. There's going to be a come-to-Jesus meeting (er, you know what I mean) on Skype tonight with all 4 parents. We (Parents) already had a pre-call meeting, but we're going to do it later so he can get this project done first.

Some of the fuck he hears is, I'm sure at school or his lacrosse team, which is 5th to 8th grade...but I know his mom and stepdad curse within the kids' hearing all the time.

I swear like a sailor, but I am like a friggin' NUN around him, so...WHEW. Didn't do it!

Yeah, tonight Dillo has called both his sister and himself an asshole. We're nipping that in the bud, I tell you what.

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

Ugh Suzi, that's such a bummer for CJ. I like meara's suggestion of looking into community college summer programs. Fingers crossed that he finds the right solution.

I just got a really sweet email from one of my students thanking me and just... it was really sweet. I'm saving it.

Today is ugly hot and I am a bit cranky pants. Too much to do, and the too much has been dragging on for too long.

I'm so sorry for CJ, but the requirements are extra-stiff, even with his S&R activity.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yes, autofocus is right! Sorry, I've been offline of my tech most of the day because the SOs iPad arrived a day early, and as resident tech, I've been setting it up for him, which had mostly consisted of be faffing around in various coffeehouses all day.

I use evernote for every damn thing. And then todoist to replace my mate lamented Astrid, and cozi for familial calendaring.
