This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

If you can`t tell, I bet most people can`t either. I wear wrong colors all the time, though, so I am not a good reference on this.
 
Also, I have a stomachache.
 
Also also, my peaches were somewhere between success and failure. I had three quart jars of peaches canned in apple juice. One was successful, one I dropped, but we can still eat now, and one I canned with bonus fruitfly and must be tossed.
 
I also did seven jars of peach jam, which appears to be successful.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had a pair of sweats that started out black but after a couple dozen washes looked more navy blue. Sometimes the dye just wears like that.

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

AND He wins. He just walked over and whispered, "I poohed."

Oh, well played, young Noah. Well played.

Tomorrow is the first day of the NYFF which means I'm on dropoff duty for the first time in...ever? Normally I'm out the door at 7 and DH handles the morning stuff. If I'm less than an hour late for work I'll consider it a win.

Holy CRAP - the Tea Party candidate won the GOP primary for the NYS governor's race. Sophia, WTF is going on upstate????

Now my hope is that Lazio will run as a Conservative and split the right-wing vote. Not that Cuomo's such a great Dem candidate, but now that the alternative is Paladino...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes!

It's kind of weird here that there's a competitive governor's race, but not within each party -- for months, there has already been one Dem, one Rep, one Independent, and one Green party candidate running.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Holy CRAP - the Tea Party candidate won the GOP primary for the NYS governor's race.

And they knocked out Castle for the Delaware Senate seat too. Makes it much less likely the Repubs could take the Senate, I think. What happens to Mike Castle now? Is he still eligible to run for his House seat?

Let's hope, right?

Holy CRAP - the Tea Party candidate won the GOP primary for the NYS governor's race.

I saw a report on some of the mass e-mails he sent out with racist jokes aimed at Obama. I can't believe he won the nomination.

On the up side, typos in comments threads FTW:

Paladino is a racist cook.

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

To contrast with my normal mac posts....

3 days in a row of on-time to school with no morning issues. I think we may actually be over the big bump wrt school adjustment. I have a few things to talk with his teacher about, the biggest is that he has given me names of 4 kids who make fun of him. I kinda can't believe he is that big of a target for picking on. I gave him several reasons for why they may be picking on him, all the while saying it is not ok and stressing that he HAS DONE NOTHING to cause it. Then I told him the most likely reason for it was that they thought his mom was SUPER CUTE and he got all grossed out and chocked on his laughter.
