Oh dear Cash, now I want Lego LotR. Really badly.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Here's something odd, and maybe a sign of the (crappy) times. My dentist sent out an email recently that in December and January, she will accept gift cards (any major retailers) as payment.

Oo Cash!
Okay, I think I can fit a nap in before I pick up the kids. I was supposed to clean the house, but that's just not going to happen.

Like ... to Old Navy or something?

Yes. Home Depot, Target, whatev. They call and verify balance.

How odd. Or possibly innovative, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, exactly. Huh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
TEACHERS - in the past, we've given Dylan's daycare providers Amex gift cards for the holidays. Is this appropriate for a preschool teacher?
It would be lovely. Frankly, anything is lovely. As a jr. high teacher, I don't really get presents, though, so I may not be the best person to ask. In the past, I've gotten gift cards from Dunkin' Donuts, Barnes & Noble, Chili's, and Starbucks. All very much appreciated. I've also gotten drawings that I really liked.

Hmm, I need to get a gift for my mother's caregiver. Not sure what.
