Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

NO ONE in the room had seen Lilo and Stitch!

Hangs head in shame. Yes, it is on my list. As Calvin says, "God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I will never die".

Having 3 days without a single call from a doctor needing my help was super cool. Did some relaxing. Alas, DH had to rewire an entire office over the weekend so he did not chill as much. He had one of our b-ball kids help him so I didn't have to. I'm hoping my days of fishing in walls and crimping network cable ends is done.

I bought a rack of ribs from Wild Fork, which you bake in the bag. Billiard boys declared them mighty tasty. I didn't taste them myself. They had a Memphis style and Kansas City style and not having a clue what that meant I went for Memphis. If I get them again I'll try Kansas City.

Now that I have come to the realization that today is Tuesday I need to do prep for my dear cleaning help because I don't want her to be discouraged.

You chose well Laura, though Kansas City style is good too.

I spent a great deal of yesterday napping, which is an ideal use of a holiday. Got together with Mom for pizza and salad last night and changed some light bulbs in her kitchen.

Napping in the hammock? Sounds like a good use of the holiday.

This is ltc's last week in the school she's been in for 4 years. I may sign her up for some camp there, but still it is making me a little teary eyed.

Summer camp may help with the transition. Change hard!

DH is scheduled to have hand surgery on the 15th. Woo! Doc says he will be able to use it while healing for eating and writing, but nothing more strenuous. I've wanted him to do this for a long time, so pleased to finally have it scheduled.

Oooh, so now he can say things like "Let me wipe away my tears with my plastic-wrapped hand!"

Good for him, Laura.

Next week starts my long slog of dental work. Fillings on Thursday (round 1) and oral surgery consultation on Tuesday (wisdom teeth).

Finishing up errands today, and then hitting the home office at 2p!

I also have to clean today and tomorrow. We're going out of town on Thursday night, so my friend is going to check on the cats over the weekend. Or possibly just stay. Anyway, house needs cleaning.

You and Matilda will be Wisdom Teeth twinsies this month.

Well, you can tell her for me that I am now an old pro at anesthesia and I will share my good vibes with her for that. Solidarity!
