paging Kate P: I finally boxed up the costumes that N & G have grown out of (pirate, knight, doctor, police officer) and would love to send them. Can you send me your address so I can post them?

I looked at the lightweight stuff, but honestly, getting a 35lb tub every so often (I know I've had one in my trunk 2 weeks and I just now need it, so a month at least) isn't worth the cost and experimentation.

And it doesn't kill me to haul it upstairs. Now, I routinely manage to ding my ankles carrying the tub of used litter down to the trash(>35 lbs!!! Steeper stairwell) but that's me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whips are weapons/noisemaker and lassos are for catch and restraint. Apple and oranges.

Ignoring ita's post only because I'd be in my bunk instead of reporting on the day.

CJ seemed to enjoy his birthday. Reading him can be difficult some time. Though he did seem excited about getting his own passport.

I'm officially the parent of two "adults". In quotes cause they will always be my babies.

She's right.

I told Tim to post on the thread in question to set the person straight w/r/t lasso vs. whip. He looked at me like I was nuts, so I said "Right my wrongs! She has failed this city!"

I don't think he appreciates my migraine med-fueled mania.

Oh the joys of googling at 6am because an acquaintance messaged you saying she's unfriending you on Facebook because she broke up with the guy who introduced you and is cutting off all contacts related to him, and did you know he's a registered sex offender? Oy. Happily not child related, but he has a 2008 felony conviction for rape AND a 2005 case for rape and sexual battery that resulted in acquittal. I knew he was a recovering alcoholic, so perhaps this occurred during the pre-recovery days, but given how hard it seems to be to get people charged with rape in this country, never mind convicted, that's kind of serious to me. This is a fellow parent at our kids' school whom we've seen socially a little bit, and I guess will move back to being an acquaintance.

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, flea!! That is more than a little disturbing.

Please note that within the context of our working relationship, I am The Man.

I really love this. May have to tag it even.

Takes notes to avoid getting on the wrong side of the migraine med-fueled maniacal Teppy in the future.

Oy, Flea.

Just found out a semi annoying family from the dojo moved into our complex yesterday and the mom is already pinging me about doing things together. Kinda glad I'm off to SLC for a couple of days.

Dear felow passenger, hanging in the waiting area, did you know they make these magical things that can carry sound directly from your device to your ears? Blasting random YouTube videos is not on. No love, Me.
