Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Actually I did, though that was due to being down to my last roll rather than weather-induced hysteria.

I bought TP, bread, and milk (amongst other things) when I went to Wal-Mart last night, so I was ahead of the rush. I can now have cereal (which I also bought) for breakfast tomorrow, as well as boil up some eggs and make egg salad for lunch. I had an omelet for lunch today, so it looks like I have an egg theme for the week (other than the London Broil I had on Monday).

You are 1/3 of the stereotype, Matt.

I hate it when my scheduled shopping (or unscheduled when I plan poorly) coincides with a storm. Stores are a zoo.

I'm so tired! I got home from work. Started soaking black beans. Did two rounds of dishes. Folded laundry. Started laundry.

Gah.

ooh. Dolores Huerta was on NPR talking about why Clinton should get everyone's vote and not Obama. And I lost all respect for her.

I've decided I'm officially Over Clinton. I think the NYT's oped piece on Billary captures my feh.

laundry is the bane of my existence. And yet despite that fact, I need to fold tonight.

My feeling on Clinton have remained pretty much unchanged since she announced her candidacy.

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

I should have guessed by the way the day started with mac - a note from school and a bad report from afterschool. I managed to not raise my voice and just work with him on listening and talking to me about stuff, but this is not going away soon, I can tell. patience is what I'll be needing and I think I'll just be faking it till I make it - since patience and me, nsm.

I don't know if it is any consolation, but I'm pretty patient and I've shut myself in a laundryroom and yelled into a pile of towels as a nanny. You'll figure it out and make it through. I have full confidence, I'm just sorry the going is hard.
