oh shit babysitters! and I need to get in gear and make the things for the teachers THIS weekend.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Are those phone camera commercials supposed to do anything besides convince me that Ashton Kutcher would have been killed long ago if Demi Moore weren't scary?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I got Owen's teachers gift cards for Applebees. Lame, probably, but I just didn't have it in me to do more than that. I'm getting movie gift cards for the girls that work in the daycare center at the gym.
Not sure what to do for the bus drivers. (Not normally a thing but with Owen's issues, he gets extra attention and I like to thank the people who take good care of him.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a working computer again! Wheeeeeee!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think the only people who will be getting dead-tree cards from me this holiday will be my friends from work. I haven't seen them since I left New Jersey. Almost a year ago! Wow. No, wait, I saw some of them in Atlanta in April for the yearly meeting. (But we didn't even get drunk, much less talk about sex.) I want to keep in touch, and it takes an effort, because I'm really bad at that.

Art Crawl!!!
I got a call from somebody who lives six blocks east of here that they had seen a cat like Ivan in their yard and on their porch.
I was in the indoor pants so I changed clothes and raced over there - no cat, no answer at the door. I think I will phone tomorrow and offer to bring them an original of the poster so that they can see a clearer picture of Mr. Ivan.
Now, I'm sweaty and tired and hungry.
I'm going to order a burger.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh, sumi, how disappointing. I am so worried about you and Mr. Ivan. If I lost my Miss Bobo I would be inconsolable.

I'm sorry, sumi. I hope the cat your neighbors found is Mr. Ivan, and that you can meet up with them, and him, soon.

I have new windows, and now, when they are closed, I can't get internet. So I have to open my window. But it is cold, and all my head is going out the window, even with the drapes closed and a pillow stuffed in the opening. Any ideas? Should I try taping plastic over the whole thing?
I googled, and apparently this is a rather large problem. The signal is blocked by the low-e coating on the window. Some people are enclosing the modem in clear plastic and putting it outside the window. Otherwise, your best bet may be shrink film [link]
