Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

The one of the two of you and the camel is ADORABLE. I do love the suspicious hug, like, "Um. Can you make him stop?"

The getty villa pics are fun. I have to weed out the ones my students took for their assignment.

Also, storing the lotion bottle on the radiatior? =WIN. I swear, if I could pile my bed sheets on the radiator... I'm loving the radiatorness.

Randomly, it occurs to me that the only fish I really like to eat are the Swedish variety. But I do love a good egg.

Love it. Did it bite you?

OMG THE COWS. Why don't I live nearer where I can babysit?!

Amy, MOVE!

The cow costumes were perfect, except that Noah had his tail pulled at school by some kid dressed as Buzz Lightyear.

I was immensely please Grace decided I was a safe person in the Skirball madness (though I know she still generally likes any people who would lift her from it!) I liked our time on the swing, when she really did chill out. Need to upload my crappy pix.

Also, on Noah "But she's following me!" Yes, but she isn't catching you, don't worry about it. "SHE'S FOLLOWING ME." Sigh. Keep riding, bub. Ah, siblings.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

A dab of paste toothpaste, or a dab of a clay mask, ideally left on overnight, will help dry up a zit.

The salicylic acid in aspirin is what clears up a zit if you grind it up and mix it with a little water to make a paste; most zit zappers are sal acid.

The best one I have found is by Origins; it's a wee bottle that will last a long time. You really only need a MERE dibbydab -- maybe the size of a 1/4 of a pea, for a big ol' zit, less for a whitehead -- twice a day, or else the area around the zit will peel a bit.

sara, but he's also super sweet with her. When we picked him up from preschool today, Grace and I were in the car. He said hi to me and then held her hand. When he went to bed, he brushed his teeth and came flying out to give me kiss, but then he went to Grace and blew her a kiss, without being prompted.

He can be jerky and a love bug.
