LEAVING WORK.
Yeah. That's about as far as I can think right now. What does everyone here know about the functions of Jewish festivals during the second temple period?

Ahhhhhhhh!!!

holy cow...

i just found Express Jeans, size 4 short(heh) at the Goodwill store for $7. 39!! They fit... and they're the right length!
Holy cow!!!

Becky and I are probably going thrifting sometime this weekend to look for warm clothes... for Ohio. Hopefully, we'll have the same luck.

Pulling off the following: working a 16-hour shift, coming home at two, reading a quarter of my textbook, writing a paper, and still getting to work by 9 the next morning. I love you, Brain!

Aaron, I'm on the East coast. We get 99.8% of our snow during the winter (which includes November), but I have had snowflakes land on my head in July. Cold snaps are weird.

I ended my 18-hour coffee drought this morning. Probably not as exciting, but still happy.

I've actually not recovered from the shock.
It doesn't help that I've talked to him twice since last night.

Becky getting some hot mouth-on-mouth action

How everyone keeps talking about Becky and The Boy. It's really entertaining. I can picture her turning various shades of red -- adorable!

*hides face in hands*

Pop, you make it sound so dirty! It wasn't like that!

You make it sound like mouth-on-mouth action would be a bad thing...

Reading the book "Curious george," in Powell's tonight, and laughing my ass off.
hiding Ann Coulter books with Al Franken books.
Oh, and finding ten dollars on the ground, with no one else to claim it!!! yay, maybe I can round up a lunch crew tomorow.

Embarrassing Becky

The bright smile that shines on my son's face as his ol'man walks through the door. & The sound of his giggles and laughter.

Oh, it wouldn't be. I would like it very much. But it still wasn't like that.


Getting teased by Pop.

A much needed bitch-session during which I was able to vent most of my pent up frusteration and anger towards crime and danger in the world.

clean sheets. clean room.

thinking about my new apt.

your mom is pretty kick-ass!

A happy baby!!

a happy paige!
yay!

Just when we start to brag about her, she lets us know she is not always so happy.

But I bet she will be soon. And I bet she's the cutest thing ever when she is.

You were right Becky...she is happy again...and she is the cutest

Cookin' dinner for the fam. This evening I prepared herb-roasted Rock Cornish Game Hens for four with baby red potatoes and carrots, asparagus steamed with white wine and bay leaf, and organic mixed greens & cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Also some French bread with rosemary-infused olive oil and a glass of Chardonnay, which I'm just now finishing. Tried not to cry when my son poured salt all over everything.

Due to your recent post, I have decided to put myself up for adoption. I require very little care (other than fine meals), and I abhor additional salt.

Your new daughter (?)-

An afternoon glass of tea with my poet friend, who is determined to teach me to cook.

How do you feel about raking leaves?

you know....there's this great restaurant down the way that has take-out. i'm also putting in my adoption request there.

Hey, I've washed a lot of dishes -- you may be better off with us, Janelle!
