Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that all sounds lovely, Laura!

Our wings are not tired.

It was a good reminder that I really do like socializing and need to do so more often.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Spent part of the morning chasing Mr. S around the hotel. This was after he tried to cover me in stuffed penguins.(better than live ones, I suppose)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I slept in, made mac cry on his birthday by criticizing him and not making a big enough deal for his birthday, I guess.

so, basically homemaker and mother of the year here.

not really the motivation I was looking for to make this a productive day.

Ah, the ever popular toddler training program. Get your exercise keeping up for sure.

Sigh. I hate random bad days. Like, when I can at least point to something bumming me out that's one thing (even if I know intellectually I'm having an outsized reaction to it or whatever) but today I'm just feeling super bummed for no apparent reason. And my friends are busy and I feel like I shouldn't lean on them so much because they aren't extroverts like I am :(

I'm sorry, meara. Maybe you can find some activity this afternoon that will break the mood. Getting outside and walking some, like a walk to go buy yourself flowers might help.

My son posted a picture on my FB wall today that shows a profile of his impressive beard. As you can see, he is not so much conforming, but he is working and bought himself a car so that is something. Even did the DMV title stuff by himself. So go adulthood! [link]

My swimming is being foiled this weekend. Just getting ready to leave & get a text that the pool is closing for the day. And it's really too late to drive to Towson. Ah well, I'll go for a walk.

Bah, sarameg. I hate when you're ready to do something good for you and it's foiled.

Me, I test drove a couple of cars today: the Kia Niro and the Prius wagon. I'm still leaning toward the Kia: I really liked the way it handled, and it's still fairly small, but it is taller than my Subaru and gets more than twice the mileage.
