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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I visited Gracie today with Polgara. Her poor belly was so round. We could have painted it orange and drawn a jack-o-lantern face on it. One of the nurses calls her Little Shaolin Grace.

Are you sure you should go to Kat's actual house?

IT HASN'T BEFORE!!!

I think the house is safe. Tourist attraction, nsm.

hahahahahaha!

After I pointed this out to K, she said, "WE CAN'T have thanksgiving here then!" I laughed.

Allyson, did you like Grace's new digs? Her belly is rounder than usual? And I assume she was just in a diaper due to the fever?

Yeah, she was hot when we got there, but had cooled down a lot by the time we left. The new digs are adorable. I found Jacque stuffed under the crib mattress. Poor Jacque.

Poor jacques! Things slide down in her crib. I am still to stuffy to see her, which I hate. I worry that Noah got her (and the rest of us) sick. Did you get to hold her?

The Buckeyes look so yum. Three of 13 I just dunked in the chocolate are kind of ugly looking because the chocolate was hardening up. Ooops. K also made peanut cups.

Diet starts tomorrow.

She was caught in a spiderweb of Matrix-like machinery, so I couldn't hold her. Did you know that I've never held Grace aside from lifting her when Lori and I give her a bath? Like I've never got to cuddle with her at all. Bums me out.

OH!.. I didn't know that. you can always ask a nurse. I just pick her up and try not to tangle her lines more than necessary.

I think the official animal of my neighborhood is the skunk. It smells terrible out there today.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

She had a temporary, very short, line on her this time--a vent? For her poor tummy. We could sit her up and pat her back, but the line was too short to take her from the crib.

Yeah they vent her 4 times a day. It makes picking her up a drag.

I am so tired right now. I can't believe this.

I think it is me. I swear, every place I've visited in CA the past 2 years has burned. Um, don't uninvite me please?

Every place we went this weekend people got arrested. It wasn't us, I swear!
