You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Aw shoot. I'm going to have to check the whole fridge, aren't I?

Sooo, who wants to explain to Pete that from now on until possibly forever, he's going to have to get things out of the fridge for me?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Adult thing: Yesterday, I noticed that this year's car registration required a smog check, so I got it done this morning, even though the registration isn't due until mid-May. (the online system is down, so I can't pay the registration tonight, but still)

Less Adult: This afternoon I tripped over the shoes I left the front hall, and think I really screwed up my ankle.

Aww, shoes, no.

My dead desktop computer just fits inside my largest suitcase, so I'll be transporting it to the office for recycling that way. It's dorky, but the suitcase has wheels so it's probably the best transport method outside of getting a Zipcar.

Probably not a great time to point out this tweet from Wil Wheaton?

You can tell people you're running away from home.

Oh, BTW, Jilli may want to stay away from the jewelry department of H&M. They now have necklaces with a huge jillifont, as well as matching earrings and rings.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm going to replace the locks myself. I have a box of tools and a box of cleaning supplies for Friday.

K-Bug and I got out for a bit, spent too much at Home Goods, and got pulled over by the police. Guess I made a rolling stop at a stop sign. I couldn't find my current insurance papers and learned that a person can get arrested for not having insurance documentation. I, thankfully, got off with a warning. Mind you, I was going 5 mph over the speed limit when he flipped on his lights AND neither K-Bug nor I had our seat belts on. Oooooops.

Yikes on the seatbelts. I try to encourage my passengers to wear them (personal friends I insist ).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My car makes an annoying enough warning noise that seatbelts are mandatory. I won't listen to that.
