Who has two thumbs and got accepted into the grad school of her choice and got good news about her mother's health condition (AKA, Not Cancer)? This MPA honors-program girl with a healthy-to-her-age-with-existing-conditions mom!

Congratulations, Shir! That's well more than doubly wonderful!

Shir it's so nice to read your good news. Congrats on grad school and YAY to having a healthy mom!

Sj, that's such a cute conversation with ltc.

msbelle, if you happen by, I'm wondering -- do you know what funding threshold Hegar has to meet?

Timelies all!

Busy day for Mr. S. He had a playdate this morning with one of his former classmates, went to my MIL's house for lunch and a playdate, and has a birthday party to go to in a few minutes.

As for me, I went and got blue streaks put in my hair.

when I told her that the baby has two daddies she cheerfully replied, "Oh!" and that was the end of that conversation.

It really doesn't inspire confidence that this will be a db that a lot of people will make a living at managing, you know?

Yeah. It wasn't that hot here this weekend, but it's been super muggy. So a Southerner was complaining, and I was like, "Isn't this your native weather???" He was like, yeah, but A/C.

FYI, tonight's L&O has a baby Idris Elba (fans self) and Kerry Washington, pre-nose job.

(Continued thank you. I'm still processing, because I'm a kind of person who needs a bit of time to process good things as well as bad things. And it's a big change. I'm actually starting in three weeks with a summer semester of economics, math, and statistics, three and a half days a week. I'm still more excited than fearing the numbers at this point.)

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. You described 20% of most of my work days. So much of "it is known", less much of "and it is mentioned and documented here. Oh wait, it's not. What they probably meant in that section is..."
