So the SO's dad is home from the hospital, with compression socks and some exercises he's supposed to do to keep his blood pressure up, so they can medicate it down, so he doesn't pass out when he stands up. I'm not sure this is the right solution since he was in with a high blood pressure that wouldn't go down, but ok.
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?

Happy day, Pix and ND! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year together!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
msbelle, I looked for my copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I can't find it. So ... won't be sending it to you. Sorry. (I think we posted in this thread.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I may be forced to buy Mockingjay, since no one has the kindle edition. I assuaged myself with a library book, but now that I am riding the bus both ways, I can pretty much read one YA book a day and the library is limited.
I can also tell this is not going to be the best day-- I am overwhelmed by lots of piddly work, everything between my chest and my knees hurts, and somehow my scarf smells like yeast.

Nasty smell of the week - people were complaining that various Metro stations smelled of rotten fish. Turns out that Metro bought "organic" brake pads which, when used, smell like rotten fish. They bought something like 10,000 of them ... ew

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Sophia, I might have Mockingjay in paper if you want it?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I saw a beautiful Jag in a nearby parking lot today with the license plate "MS BELL". If it weren't for the misspelling, I'd ask if msbelle had relocated and wanted a Trianglistas get-together.

Ewww, indeed. Bulk buying isn't always your friend.

Thanks Jesse, but I can totally get the kindle edition. It just seems weird to own only one, since I borrowed the others and doubt I will reread.
Also- one book per day is too much! But I can recommend this book [link] which I got from the library. It is not YA, but contains a young adult.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So last night Dylan and I had another long conversation about how he wants to be Christian. Oy vey.
(I'm pretty sure this is coming from his best friend talking about being in his church pageant over Christmas, and listening to "Open Up The Window Noah" and that other song about how the unicorn got left off the ark - who knew kid-friendly folk music could lead to such heavy duty conversations??)
He also asked me to "tell him the Bible" last night at dinner. I said it was a really really long book and I didn't know the whole thing, and he said "Well just tell me the part you know." Smart-ass kid.
