I used to write angry notes on tiny scraps of paper and throw them down the stairs at my mother: "I hate you" "You're so mean" "It's totally unfair and you are too" and the like. My mother seems to have valued it as a commitment to literacy and kept them.
This makes me laugh because it reminded me of when I was a teenager and would get sooper mad at my mom. My room was in the basement, so I would take every single present she ever bought me and piled them all up at the bottom of the stairs with a note that said, "Give these things to someone who you really love who is obviously not me."
I lost a lot of really awesome stuff that way.
Oh, goodness. Ellie killed me ded. Good thing I’d been revived after all the cutie stories from yesterday!

Oh, dear.

Sox is gorgeous!

I started number three part time job today. It went well. I’m teaching lessons to a nine-year-old that is home schooled, so her mom can get out of the house a few hours each week. I discovered that it’s very difficult to describe “broad” to nine-year-old, so she could pick an opposite. I could pick an opposite, but I just couldn’t seem to describe the meaning to her in a way that she could understand it.
Also, I just some very good, relieving money news. I hadn’t really talked about it, but it had been stressing me out for a couple of weeks. So, I don’t have to move and figure out how to live for the next year. It’s all worked out! Phew!
Sox is too cute! Your baby girl looks just like you!
I have marked Windsparrow’s soup. I’m curious, though, why the baking soda?
I believe the baking soda does something to prevent the milk from curdling in the tomatoes. Note that there is no instruction to add the milk slowly - and that works out fine, I always just pour it all in there at once, then stir.
aw, thanks guys. still getting used to it. I wish I had Iris' hair. Mine's just curly enough to be spastic in humidity. hence: Seinfeld.
heh. a graphic designer friend is starting a blog but is worried he won't have much to say. Apparently, I just gave him his tag line: All Vector, No Verb
my work is done here.
Dh flew to the Portland area today. He always calls when his plane lands. His plane has been on the ground over 4 hours and no call. But really, there are no fluttery panicy thoughts. really .
eta: yes, I've sent a 1/2 dozen messages
We're now finally being discharged after being told two hours ago that we were supposed to be discharged yesterday.
I had to cause a bit of a scene in the nurses station to get somebody to finally pull her IV and issue discharge papers. I'm angry and ashamed and irritated as fuck.

And because we now have a video camera, her message for her Oklahoma grandma's birthday: [link]
oh Sean, I'm sorry it's been such a clusterfuck. is S feeling better, at least?
