I can't sleep. Do any of you know where I put my copy of Terry Pratchett's "Making Money?" I can't find it because I took the dust cover off and now it's a very unassuming reassuringly thick black book. Of which I have more than one.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's in that pile by the bookcase.
...Or not.
I read something recently that said children's brains can't really grasp the concept of "the future" until around 3 years old. And even then, their ability to predict the results of their actions is pretty shaky. (Hell, it's shaky for adults.)

I'm having a little trouble grasping my immediate future at the moment, because it involves going out there in the cold while it's still dark. This is not my normal morning. Hence the grasping issues.
OK, here I go...

Thanks for the link to the Chasez interview snippet. He really does come off as a class act, no doubt in part to the great parenting he got.
It's 16F this morning, so the getting dressed and leaving part of the morning must commence post-haste, but still I linger....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, Liese!! So exciting.

not your mom's socks.
This big huge problem/issue/disaster at work is stressing me out.
sorry sarameg - I knew that... I was just being my usual sarcastic self. I'm in code/dbase nightmare phase about 20% of the time (because SOME people had to have certain permissions APA), although probably small-time compared to what you're dealing with. I'm completely rooting for everything to work out ok and for the worries to leave you alone because it was Not Your Fault, you were just the one who happened to be smart enough to discover it (and the one who worries and so is prepared to understand what she is seeing when she discovers it).
Yay Liese! Congratulations and no last minute problems ~ma!
I'm loving the parenting discussion. My sprog, let me show you her "Your not my best friend anymore!" phase.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Did we or did we not make up the word ricockulous? I ask because I just saw it in a TWOP recap, and I'm pretty sure we did it first.
Sadly, no. I first heard in 1996.
