Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

*Any* family, or just immediate family?

The American Notary Society's Web site says that they don't recommend notarizing stuff for family.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It looks like it might depend on the state, Steph. The other thing I'm finding (googling "notary conflict of interest") is that a notary in certain states can't notarize anything that has a financial benefit to them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've always taken it as all family, though between you and me, I have notarized non-financial things for my sister since we no longer have the same last name.

Tickybox's first lesson:

I foresee what I am doing this weekend! Excellent.

I swear, I'm like Shawn's dad on Psych, only instead of honing her observational abilities, I'm training her to be the perfect geek.

Which reminds me, I have to get back to having her memorize the Green Lantern oath posthaste.

(Things I have trained her to do: blue steel on command, internalize the awareness that criminals are a cowardly and a superstitious lot, understand the importance of owning black and white stripy tights, and say BEEP when going for Jilli's nose. Also, I've trained her to look at Pete and say "ADORABLE!" Which only works sometimes.)

Emeline desperately wants stripy tights, I have not been siccessful in finding good quality ones around here.

Happy Birthday, juliana!

IOmeN, I applied for five jobs locally, today. I really wish I'd hear back from some of these people. I'm even applying for jobs I'm so overqualified for and the pay is craptastic, but I need work. Soon. ~ma me, please?

In brightest day, and darkest (blackest) night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Those who worship Evil's might
Beware my power
GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!!!

We stock up when Hanna Andersson puts out their Halloween wear. Get the size she's in and the next size up in triplicated. It's a little costly, but she wears each pair for at least a year (they're sized to fit two ranges). And then if there are more at the outlet, we pick those up, too.

Boo-ya! One of my best memories is a bunch of us drunkenly reciting it at Hec and JZ's wedding.
