My friend send me this: Her niece C told her she was watching her toddler play with Play Doh and not saying anything. Said toddler looked up from her Play Doh and said, "'Don't scrutinize me.' With a 3-year-old lisp. Around a pacifier. When C was sure what she was saying, she asked Lily where she'd learned that word, and she said 'Aunt M.'" While my friend says she didn't think she'd spent that much time around Lily, the rest of the family agreed she was the only possible source for scrutinize.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Skimmed....Oh good lord, people continue to surprise me with their stupid. not you all, but the exasperating people you've had to deal with.
ospital doesn't have contact lens solution
For next time, shrift, if there is one, yes. They do. They have sterile saline which will work as contact lens solution. They use it to flush IVs as well as ports (and if you have a tubie kid like mine, they use it to lavage a trache).
One more soccer game tomorrow and then done until the next tournament. Man, I hate soccer.

Good to know! Roommate is having surgery today because they couldn't get her in yesterday.
I am on my way to brunch. After we eat, I'm going to check out furniture at Room & Board.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am here! I actually made a recipe for lunch, which is very unlike me. It's not that great, but used two things from my CSA, so that's good.
Also laundry!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
No Rapture for us, but we went to see TV on the Radio in Century City last night, and man they rocked! They put on a good show, especially considering it was for free.
Ugh Rebecca, so hard to know how to respond to that kind of comment. Well okay, it's not the comment even, it's the worldview, and knowing how widely that worldview was shared.

Ok, I have said goodbye to my sister a little earlier than planned (she had a friend offer to give her a ride back to Indy, rather than take the bus, and she's really sick with a horrid cough, so wanted to be home). But now it's 12:30, I'm checked into my new hotel room, and I am feeling lazy. I don't want to do any work (though I should) and think I will work out later this evening. What to do with my afternoon? I feel as though I ought to go tourist, but the idea makes me tired. (It may just be that I need to digest brunch for a while)

if you can't take a post-brunch nap when you are on vacation, when can you?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would totally take a nap in that scenario.
