So, we drove to South Carolina today buy mr. flea a new laptop, and we got a free iTouch with it. (Well, we had to pay for it, but we'll get a rebate.) I may never see my husband again.

We also got some plum-colored skinny cords for Casper, and with her new stacked bob, summer-camp tan, white Petit Bateau classic undershirt, new pants, and skull Vans-style sneakers, she is so amazingly cool-looking. And she's six! I was never that cool in my whole life!

What magical store was this? (I ask, being about to buy a MacBook Pro, and totally willing to accept a free iTouch.)

Apple has a deal for college students and faculty: [link]

What Scola said, and we went to SC because it's tax-free weekend there. Our cheapskate-fu is mighty.

Boo for perkins' work! But yay for new friends. Pie is not (sadly) relevant to my interests. Though Sean Bean always is. Even though I suspect he doesn't play well with girls. And probably runs with scissors, too.

I remain somewhat awed, as well as a little envious, of Calli's flying.

Damn, I was afraid it was that Apple deal. Curse my non-student and non-faculty status!

Perkins, sorry work is stupid.

I love how wee buffistas seem to exude the cool right outta the womb.

Yay for 100% Bob!

I skated for four hours, practiced proximity skating, took some knee slides and skated fast! My thighs are screaming. I bought some ibuprofen in bulk.

ION, beef tongue. Not bad at all. It's the only organ meat we got when we processed Rupert. I'd never tried it before but a few hours in the crock pot with potatoes, onions and carrots and it's a lot like fork-tender roast.

I just ordered pad thai and ginger chicken for delivery (that'll take care of the rest of my food for the weekend). Yummm, Thai food!!

Who was Rupert?
