I drove home smiling the whole way, remember that classes like tonight were why I had loved college soooo much. I'm so glad to back in school!

That's awesome.

Clearly spoken English but with a last name like that? Somehow must equal Militant Black Muslim.

That's hilarious.

My brother and I are very different looking but our mannerisms and speech patterns are so ridic similar that most people comment on how alike we are when they meet us.

I have that with my mother.

Thanks to Frisco's cough, I slept from 8-10, 12-2, and 4-5:30. I have an interview at 11. Joe's going to come home at 9:30 so I can get there on time. Frisco just has a cough and a runny nose but he's just a giant crying mess this morning.

Kathy, I'm so glad you're getting to do the school thing again. I had a blast with all my classes, and if I could only swing it I'd can this job-hunting gig and enroll permanently.

I managed to get back to sleep, but now I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I don't know if I can make it in on time.

People rarely have the slightest doubt that my siblings and I are related.

Slept like carp. CJ tried to get me to let him stay home from school. I'm working from home today and felt like a bad mom when I kicked him out the door.

My neck hurts like crazy. I think it is from karate on Monday, I fell wrong during a take down and bounced my head off the floor. If it isn't from that, I don't know what I did to myself.

I look exactly like my dad -- well, I did. Lately, I look more and more like my mom. For years, though, it looked like my mom had nothing to do with me and my brother.

The kitten biting my foot through the covers woke me from a really upsetting dream in which S. had lost his job, Sara was a baby in stroller, and I think we were living in the car. I'm still all weirded out and off-center.

I look like my dad's grandmother, and my sister is a carbon copy of our mom. (To the point where if you look at photos of my mom from when she was my sister's age, the only way to tell them apart is by the vintage of the clothes.) And yet, people can always tell we're sisters right away.

Good luck with the interview, Stephanie! I hope they make you an offer and let you work from home!

Sorry to hear sleep was elusive for so many.

Last Saturday the mother of one of the librarians in my department passed away. Which makes 3 out of 4 librarians who have had mothers pass away this year. Yesterday, another librarian's wife was taken to the ER with acute appendicitis. It feels dangerous around here right now for family.

When my brothers were young - people used to think that they were twins - and not only are they two years apart in age but they look completely different from each other.

Meanwhile, just last week I was asked if I was a Cherokee or some other Native American.
