Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm currently looking for the magical storage box that will solve my cable box problem -- I want to have it on the mantle, but it's a little too big. But putting it on top of the perfect size (and also attractive) box/drawer/thingy will fix it. I have looked at Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Ikea, Container Store with no luck. (The Container Store might have worked, except it turns out there isn't one I can get to.) Where else to look?

Now I need to do work. Stupid work!

Heh - my parents will shamelessly go to Cyclones games with me in full Red Sox regalia. They're rarely the only ones there.

Oh yeah, my issue is more that I don't care at all, but people would look at me expecting a fan. meh.

“Not dead yet!”

Jesse, try Levenger or Williams Sonoma. They often have things of that nature.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't remember to move my car before the street sweeping started, so I have a ticket now to remind me about it. Stupidity Tax!

Jesse, if you want to take a run down to IKEA on the South Shore, I'm looking for a reason to do the drive anyway... let me know.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda has turned into the Russian Front of not sleeping. We're winning the individual nightly battles but the attrition is so great that we're losing the war (i.e., the will to live).

She was up midnight to 4am last night. Much of it wailing at the top of her lungs. She really doesn't want to sleep her in bed. Or more accurately, she really wants to sleep in our bed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Would she settle for a mattress on the floor of your room? That way she doesn't feel kicked out, and you guys might still get some sleep!

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

Oh, ugh. I'm sorry to hear that.

Levenger! That's totally the catalog I was picturing, but couldn't remember! Thanks.

Ooh, thanks! I have an offer from another friend to take me on Saturday, but if that falls through, I will definitely take you up on that.

Be strong, Hec-- it's amazing how much will can be contained in one small body, isn't it?

Just out of curiosity, is it that she wants to be with you guys, or just your bed? In other words, while it might be counterintuitive, would it help for you and JZ to bunk down in the living room, leaving her alone in your room and kind of getting the message across that she's going to be by herself, one way or the other?
