bonny, I wish you car~ma. I also have no doubt that anyone with the good sense to be your friend will recognize that it is a car, and you are a friend, and know which is more important in this world.

My DH is so mean. He just called to tell me about all the beautiful jewelry he saw at the sale at this place, and then reminded me that we're having a baby and shouldn't be profligate with our money. [link] I want shiny stuff!

Primarily for Hec and JZ, since they are the most (loving)vocal about the subject...

Today is 10 days non-smoking for Joe and I!!!!

Not Hec or JZ, but Whoo!!! Go Miracleborns on the non-smoking thing.

That is awesome, Aims and MM. It's so hard!

I hope you can help each other, Aimee.

It is totally hard!! There were a couple of times when we were human, but I am very proud of us.

Aimee, that is WONDERFUL! Go you guys!

The hives are calming down. Good grief. I'm not sure what that was all about. I suspect I touched something outside that my allergies didn't like, but whoa. Weirdness.

That's great, Aimee!

The book I'm reading on my iPod has a character named Gracie. I got the file from Internet Archive, which just scans the book and uses character-recognition software, without usually having a human correct the text. Gracie's name is pretty consistently changed to Oracle.

Aims, YAY both of you! FWIW, one of my friends once dated an ex-heroin addict who'd also quit smoking, and he said that kicking heroin was actually easier. You are awesomely strong!

Firstly, yay Aimee and Joe!

I ... am requesting hairpats. NOT because of anything bad, no. But because holy crap, there's a lot of stuff happening with GCS, and I kindasorta need to hyperventilate a bit. Please tell me I'm smart, charming, and can totally deal with the media. Because right now? I feel like a bit of a basket case.
