Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I second Askye's move to Vermont and will toss in my moving services plus ___________ .

Moving in the heat sucks. Hopefully, the move to Vermont will be in perfect weather, the drive will be scenic and not too stressful and askye will be more awake than I was for the drive from AZ to MN. When it happens.

6. My nephew (the one who had an aneurysm) is getting close to crawling again, so he's almost recovered the motor skills he lost after said aneurysm.

This is wonderful to hear.

4. I have fallen in love with baby yawns.
1. I had my first exam for the Master of Finance today, and I'm feeling fairly optimistic.

These are also good.

Sleepy Ryan!

May your move go smoothly, askye, and the next one to Vermont happen soon.

I bought a used Bumbo seat for Kalee off the local parents' listserv and she lectured us all through dinner from her new throne. It was hilarious. Then I had to sign off the listserv because some people are convinced that the gov't is going to force us all to get swine flu shots filled with mercury that will turn all our children into zombies. or something. I stopped reading.

BT, I'm so glad your nephew is doing so well. And yay for Ryan continuing to be so adorable.

move out and draw fire

I don't see what people like that are worried about; sounds like they are zombies already.

I cannot stop watching the shiny new TV. I didn't realize how crappy the old TV truly was.

Yay sleepy BT spawn!

That's sort of how I feel about my new mattress. I woke up for the second morning in a row today with no back pain at all. I hadn't realized that waking up achy had become my normal state until it stopped.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I wish to thank the Reasons for bringing reasonable summer weather to Portland. At least for last night. Within hours of their arrival, the temperature cooled to a totally tolerable level. Once i got home last night, i turned off the AC and slept with all windows flung wide open, delighting in the breeze and even getting chilly enough to pull my sheet up over my feet. I may regret leaving the ac off today while i'm at work, but the breeze was just too delish to lock out this morning as i was leaving for work.

Oh yeah, and the book event was fun too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

bt, that sounds like an AWESOME week. Well, except for Slacker!Grandpa. Is it due to busy schedule? Or is there family friction? Can't imagine wanting to not see such an adorable baby.

I've had mine for a year now, and am still in the same boat. Upgraded from a floor model 29" CRT to a brand spanking new 42" LCD. To this day I marvel at how much better the image is. And as a result, am watching a *lot* more TV and movies. Now I need to upgrade the hi-fi, so the movies *sound* better as well.

Question for the hive mind. I am going to make an attempt to do some mild work outs. I will be attacking the exercise bike at the free gym in our apartment complex. Dual pronged reason. Primary reason: to burn off some of this fat (well, hopefully a LOT of it). Secondary reason: to get legs up to par so buying a trike isn't a total waste of money. So the question, is it better to "ride" for a longer duration with less/little resistance, or shorter with more? I seem to recall something about cardio needs to be x minutes long to get the heart rate up, and after y minutes, it's not burning all that much calories. But, I could be wrong. Anyone know off the tops of heads, so I don't have to waste time searching the internet?
