Could be that it's...uhmm.... got 6 toes?
This would be considerably better than having 6 fingers on his right hand.

Twins! (Yeah, no, that would have turned up ages ago.)

Ummm. The sprog is further along than expected, and next week we'll have a new pweb baby!

I have no idea, I'm just enjoying the game. :D

Technically, I'm full term at 36 weeks (this week), so it really could be at anytime, but I wouldn't place my bets. Could be anytime in the next month to 6 weeks.

Yeah, since my older sister and I were both a month early, I've decided never to make plans based on the due date.

I love the fact that I'm finally getting to have one of those stereotypical high school relationships that you see on TV. It's so... fun! And freeing.

I got a new top case for my mac, today, to replace the one with cracks! And it was free! AND they replaced the keyboard and trackpad, so now my arrow keys work again! It is so lovely feeling new keys and being able to play games and do other things with the arrow keys on my computer again.

10 HOURS of sleep. 10. HOURS. In a row. I mean, I got up once to go to the bathroom and I woke up temporarily at 7:45 but I fell back asleep in both cases. This never happens.

I did that the other night/day, I couldn't believe I slept that long, it was wonderful!

I love the stories my nephew tells me. Yesterday I got a story about his Lego mini-figure named Bone Daddy who had no friends because his planet was destroyed, and who wanted to rob the Krusty Krab because whenever he went there as a kid (all 10 times) they would give him "short food". There was also something about his hat being passed down/up though his family in a weird pattern, but not his cape, that was just bought at the evil cape store.

Well, not "love", but I actually kinda like folding laundry. I just wanted to say that somewhere.

Maroon 5's cover of Alicia Keys' "If I Aint Got You." I can't really describe why, I just love it.

Female Star Wars fans rally behind first grade girl who was bullied for having a Star Wars water bottle

The bullying story is sad, but I love the response of thousands of women saying "You're cool!".

I commented too. Thanks for pointing me there, Jan! I don't check Epbot every day, and I'd be sad to miss this.

Stumbling across a piece of paper with my little brother's handwriting that said:
Shows That Influenced me

Magic School Bus - learned about science; gravity, carbon cycle, ecosystems, solar system
Reboot - learned about computers
Daily Planet - learned about new technologies, Green tech
Popular Mechanics for kids - learned how things work like machines and stuff
I clearly remember watching the first two shows with him, and I suspect that this was written when he was in high school and thinking of university and beyond :)

Heather Dale's Christmas album. It's my antidote to Christmas grinchiness. I'm on song two, and I can already feel myself being more festive!

P.S. Is your brother going to be home over the holidays?

Continued good news on the dental front. I've forgotten what it feels like to loathe going, really.


Morning walks in the fall. <3


My mom's decision to stay in the greater Tucson area last night. TV, music or silence? Kind of bad food or eat as healthy as I can? Craft, read, BSG, or sit and stare into space? Living room, kitchen, or bedroom? Walk the dogs, Just Dance, ride my bike, or some combination? I had a whole day to myself and had so much fun being completely in charge of every little aspect of my life, with zero explaining or justifying, for those 24+ hours.

I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Do people count as a subset of "things"?

I love Nomi. I love Nomi more than words can say. Not only does she take care of me emotionally, way more than I could ever hope to deserve and return, she does these entirely thoughtful, sweet little acts of kindness.

I got home from work and there was this package waiting for me and I thought it was probably for the gift exchange and haha to the suckers who wanted Nomi to be their person (everyone in their right mind) but it wasn't, it was a just because package. I opened it and inside was the most adorable little Wicket ever and I totally geeked out. He was shoved in the face of every person in this house while I squealed and did other embarrassing acts of girliness I hardly ever do.

Yay! And thank you.

Just so you know, a bunch of pwebbers wanted to go in on buying you a whole set but I wasn't up for the challenge of making all of them (I'm only just finishing the first of three sets for Steph). So, I did the one I knew you wanted most. But the thought and plan was there. You are very loved. *hugs*

Please don't ever ask me to admit this to anyone outside of Pweb but Ernest Scared Stupid actually did scare the crap out of me. The troll freaked me out. Was it milk that hurt it? I'm pretty sure it was.

I never saw the end. I had to stop watching about 10 minutes in because it scared me. While this happened when I was a kid, I've never felt the slightest inclination to go and watch it again.

The only movie that comes to mind that I know I couldn't go back and watch is The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum. I saw that as a kid and still get squicked out by the idea of it. The fingernails falling off, especially.
