Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

'First Date'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

JZ, Love her drawing! Oh! I've been meaning to ask, how did you approach preschool for Matilda?

I have five more letters to write. I just finished one for a kid whose capabilities are not matched by his school record. It was really fun to write his letter because I really like this student and I've known him for 2 years in a variety of settings (advisory, English, Journalism, Academic Decathlon) and he's just kinda a cool kid (he picks up recycling every day at school, even though he is constantly mocked, because Dad doesn't have and refuses to get a job and he wants to help his mom in anyway he can).

Mintze's Blintzes (non-dairy, but include egg whites) are the best packaged Blintzes I've ever had. Not like home made, but really really good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Jesse!

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

I swear by Sal's Suds for a green dishwashing soap, but I'm not sure if it's dishwasher-friendly or not, since I don't have one.

We braved the sleet for a yummy breakfast at Tom's Restaurant this morning (under new ownership, but so far the only change they've made is to open on Sundays) and are now looking at a loooong afternoon inside. Hopefully at least one of us will get a nap.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mac is wasting as much time as possible. He cannot grasp that homework has to get done before the playdate, taking longer at lunch won't change that, it will only make the playdate shorter.

Now tagless for your comfort.

At mcd, the cashier asked me twice if I wanted large, I said no. She then proceded to tell me that large was bigger. I got short with her.

They're giving away coke glasses with larges--they must be pushing the merchandise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Would ticking down the changing start of the playdate help? Is that how it would work?

I think I tried Method dishwasher tablets before. They were awful. I'm pretty ungreen with actual cleaning products (and I have a ton of those), but hopefully this will take.

I think I'll buy sister that pendant without shopping around. Can't be arsed. Paying for listing on Etsy is hereby deemed worth it. Wait, no, let me check Uncommon Goods. They're another savannah-ish sort of place.

I am bored of being so dead by Saturdays. I need to do a mall run.

I'm going to the mall this afternoon, ita. Unfortunately it's one in Woodland Hills!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I'm going to a mall this evening.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, I need to go to CostPlus either this weekend or next. If they have Mr. Kiplings Minced pies again this year, do you want some?
