Oh my god, I need to talk my band into doing Smelly Cat for this show.
Smelly Cat! "What are they feeding you ...?"
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

I bet you could learn it, lisah, just watch the one with Chrissie Hynde a few times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ripped the fucker off my wall!
And then the one in my bedroom started going off, which I def can't get to on my own.
And then it stopped, so...okay?

Because books.
ita, usually they do that when the batteries are low. If it stopped, I'd wait for your sister, get her to replace all the batteries, and see if they go off again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bev and David - how are/were your teens with afternoon naps?
Emmett is vocally anti-nap - because it makes him very groggy. HOWEVER, he does take naps in the car when I drive him back from tournaments and they are restorative to him. But only car naps.
Seriously, though, he needs like 10+ hours of sleep a night to function. He often goes to bed by 9 or 9:30.
I suspect Mac's body is going to grow a lot and you're going to have to shovel food down his maw at an alarming rate.
Emmett's already up to a size 13 shoe.

Size 13??? Good grief.
I am so mad at myself. I'm on a three day trip to Iowa....and managed to be an idiot early this morning and leave my computer sitting at home. Not sure how much I'm going to be able to accomplish! Ugh.

Jesse, that is an awesome dress.
So I've been vaguely jangly all day because last night we heard a bad wreck on our street.
We live in the foothills, which means we live on a sloping hill. Last night at 9:30, I heard a motorcycle engine rev, going down our little community/suburban street. Then I heard a pause, where there was no engine noise. Then two thuds. Ten minutes later, dozens of our neighbors were out looking for the body. The cops and the fire department were out in front of N&G's school and there wasn't a lot of urgency.
This morning, there was the stuff they put down to soak up gas and oil in a streak from where the dip near our house is (you often hear cars bottom out, especially those who ignore the big DIP signs), two blocks down, all the way to the school. Someone had a very bad night.
