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.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

"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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, try Levenger or Williams Sonoma. They often have things of that nature.
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.

“Not dead yet!”
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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why do I have such expensive taste?? This is basically exactly what I'm looking for. But now I see that looking for a printer stand or similar is totally the way to go, and I hadn't thought to call it that.

Jesse (and other Somervillains): always looking for an excuse to take the drive to IKEA. Also, I'm the one with a Forester which has a very reasonable amount of cargo space (and roof rack). :-)

If only I had thought to ask you earlier! We could have been there now...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dancing Dog Can Salsa Way Better Than You Can (VIDEO)
Oh my - this is amazing.
You rarely know what's going to turn up on one of those wacky Spanish talk shows, but in no way were we expecting this. This man has trained his dog to dance, and we mean really dance. As the caption on Live Leak's website puts it, "this dog dances better than you."
The pair, getting down to a festive salsa (we think) track, incorporates spins and even a lift and through the legs maneuver. Somebody get this pooch a plane ticket. Hollywood is calling.
