Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

tell me why it seems so familiar to me

Google tells me it was used in commercials for House and The Good Wife.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ginger and I are sharing a brain this evening. Cool.

Are you irritated that Facebook is screwing around with the stupid Top Stories thing?

I reject your interpretation of a Top Story, Facebook. In fact, you would not know a Top Story if it bit you. Also, your mother dresses you funny.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

msbelle made me snort!

My house is colder than I would like (which is to say it's cold at all). I have two more days of work and I am not even sort of motivated to do ANYTHING.

sarameg is siting on our couch, Grace is asleep in the den and Noah fell asleep on his way home from swim lessons. Everyone is groggy. Is it summer yet?

Funniest comment in the car, "Santa is really fat. Is it because he has a baby in his stomach?" I can't wait until he asks me that question about my own gut.

Ginger, yes!

Noah just gets more precocious as time goes on. I swear, he and Grace have that as their superpower.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Amy pointed out in the SPN thread that it was the song used in that video with that really bendy guy dancing. At which point I (finally) remembered that I was the one that posted the link of bendy guy both here and to good stuff.

Yeah, gotta blame it on the meds. Because, seriously, I can't take responsibility for all that.

eta Thanks, Maria. They are good kids. Exhausting but good at least 3 times out of 10.

I deleted the kvetching that killed natter.

The medical bullshit on its own is enraging and nerve-wracking. I cannot fathom more on top of that.

I admire your and K's perseverance. It would be easy to not fight as hard for what Grace deserves in light of all the obstacles the bureaucracy throws up in your faces, but even if she never knows the difference you made in ensuring that she has every advantage possible, you do (as do we). That may not stop the tears from coming, but it spells out loud and clear that you're good people. The world is better because you care, even when it's hard.

(Sorry, didn't mean to get sappy on you.)

edit: You didn't kill Natter. I just took an inordinately long time to compose a response.

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

Kat and K are amazing parents, Noah and Grace are amazing kids. Double win!

I am so inordinately tired. I blame my stretch class as she made me jump today. I do not normally jump.

Must go pack. I am bummed that I won't get to see sarameg, but glad that she's here anyway. I'm also a bit bummed about leaving my cat behind. I worry. She's old and it's cold and she will miss snuggling next to me. I will miss the snuggles too.

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

So, I appear to have made an offer on a house.

Huh.
