Yeah, I saw those. This one ain't right: [link]

Oh, weird It's A Small World, Internet Edition, the first commenter on that pic is a friend of friends (who are also Kat & Lori's friends). teeny world

Thanks for the additional birthday wishes, y'all. As I said over in Bitches, I'm waiting on the Hub to bring home mystery dinner. I'm hoping for Mexican with perhaps Cold Stone Creamery for dessert. I mean, we determined that birthday calories don't count, right?

And in other My Hub Loves Me and Knows Me Well-- knowing of my unholy love for bomber jackets, ordered me this modified bomber.

And even better, he ordered it on deep sale with an extra 20% discount. Man knows the way to a girl's heart.

Kind of a nice contrast to my mother's idea of a birthday gift which was to tell me that my father had filed for divorce from his wife.

"This is your idea of a birthday gift, Ma?"

"It happened over a month ago, Barbara-- but I know you haven't wanted to hear about it."

"So you choose to tell me today, ergo, this is your idea of a birthday gift?"

I knew she was going to drop some bomb on me today. *shakes head*

Meat Font.

That's made of awesome. (And, one assumes, ground chuck.)

Since I'm hating everything else right now, I'd like to add the Baltimore Sun paper's redesign to the list. It makes no SENSE. It's all jumbled and shit.

Barb - that's a great jacket!

And Happy Birthday too!

Okay, this guy gets mad props.

OH MY GOD! I KNOW!!! I hate it. there is so little content now. I almost called and canceled my subscription right away. i'll give it a little more of a chance but JESUS. so ugly and so newsfree

I saw troops, probably from Ft. Lewis traveling in those open jeeps. And it struck me how damn young most of them were. I know they are adults in every sense - legally, biologically.

But still: I contributed recently to a U.N. campaign against child soldiers. And however literally wrong this is, it strikes me that in a sense all wars are fought with child soldiers. All crusades are children's crusades.

Happy Birthday, Barb!!

Happy Anniversary, Jessica and Fone Bone!!

The meat font ROCKS!

Madonna freaks my shit out. Although, my mother in law is named Madonna so I guess that's part of the ook.

I apparently have high cholesterol. 254. Feh. HDL is just a squosh over 40, which is the low threshold.
