Stop being boobs when it comes to breast cancer.

I'm amused that this letter to the KC Zoo needs to emphasize "nonhuman primates" when talking about the chimps.

Ohhhh, with two little kids around, I get weird questions daily. Like: "Mom, if you had a another kid, would you get a third boob?"

I think I got 25 cents, maybe a $1.

I noticed that all of the 6-year-old girls in Ian's class are missing one front tooth. He'll be 6 in a month. I realized he'll be losing them soon, too :( So I asked him yesterday if any of his teeth hurt (he was eating Milk Duds, I figured it was a good time to ask). He said one tooth hurts. Guess I have to start playing Fairy soon. He's already in speech therapy for his lisp, not sure what he'll do when he has no front teeth.

Chinese food. I'm usually into egg drop soup, but when I'm sick it's all about the hot and sour. And if I can hold down food, maybe a spicy main dish.
Peppermint tea helps, too.

"Love Actually." But you have to get the DVD, the 'edited for tv' version doesn't do it justice.

I decided to update my userpics, since they were of my two cats, and one cat died 8 months ago. We got a new cat this summer (or should I phrase that as 'the cat found himself some new owners this summer'), and I wanted to give him his place of honor. Also the picture of my grey cat was 10 years old, and I wanted show him in all his current glory, ie he's really old and grumpy.

I'll explain the story of the new cat in my next post, but now I'm going to nap.

I read the Craigslist wanted ads when I'm bored. I saw this one earlier:

And thought MAN! That is a terribly written ad, and it is miscategorized. I have no idea what the person wants, it's unprofessional, and it turns me off from the business. I would never shop there!

My dad was over here earlier. Told me my brother's ex-wife is now running an antique shop on Main St in Blue Springs. I just went back to look at the ad-- her name is Juliann. This is my ex-SIL.

Chili.

The county pays for its domestic violence shelters with the fees people pay to get a marriage license? I can't tell if that's creepy or brilliant.
