Cashmere, I hope your stomach feels better immediately.

We're all up and moving already. Noah and Grace have a bug of some sort. And, for the first time in weeks we are cookie free. I think I need to remedy that immediately and make some more.

I finished a photo book from A&I (Suzi, I thought it was a royal pain, but maybe I think that because of gathering the photos which took days?) and I'll pick it up in Hollywood in a week or two. It was fun to look through pictures of the twins -- and essentially I just did it for their 2nd and 3rd years. I'll do another one in April of this past year.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Ugh, Cash- my sister had a similar thing after her youngest was up all night Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Hoping we don't get it...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor pukers! Yuk.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I had a very rich dinner last night, so breakfast today is a mug of tea.

I'm off to the mountains today, where hopefully we won't get snowed in or anything. Yay for skiing! And this is the first year in forever that I have the entire week between Christmas & NYE off: it's really nice to look at that long stretch of days I don't have to do anything in. Woot.

Okay, off to be useful. I hope everyone back east stays warm and dry!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm reading the live blog on the NYTimes about the blizzard. 20 inches of snow in Central Park! People cross country skiing down the middle of Houston Street. Snow Plows stuck all over the city.

Everybody should stay at home with their hot beverage of choice (mulled wine? tea? cappucino? hot toddy?) and curl up with Mark Helprin's Winter's Tale.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Feel better soon, Cash!

Stay safe, people dealing with snow.

I have that somewhere! I'm currently reading this [link] and as soon as I finish, I plan on reading this [link] which was a present from my MIL who was in the FAC.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

Amazon is having a really good sale on TV dvds right now. I'm contemplating getting Castle ($15 per season) and/or the Big Bang Theory ($44 for the first two seasons together). They also have Mad Men for $15 a season.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I slept in without meaning to. I was sure I set my alarm last night. No snow here, but I'm working from home. Kelly is off with Nicole for a mani-pedi. I'd be jealous, but until this eHarmoney/Paypal/my bank mess is cleared up, I don't want to spend any money I don't absolutely have to spend.

Kat - I haven't used any other photo book software, so I have nothing to compare to. Gathering and scanning the photos was quite the job. But I'd happily take suggestions for better photo book vendors.
