… and so, Mabel settled down in the straw and enjoyed the new scarf her older brother had given her. But still, her brother’s knowing smirk filled Mabel’s mind with troubling questions. For instance, why was she dressed just like a baby? And why was there a baby dressed just like a lamb earlier that week? But these doubts paled next to the most worrisome question of all…
Was this scarf knitted from someone I know?

I warned you I was allergic to that shampoo, but did you believe me? Oh no, not you, think you know everything, don’t you? Well, now my face is melting, so let’s hear your clever idea for fixing that, Vidal Buffoon!

Washington, D.C. — Outraged legislators renewed calls for banning human-animal hybrids after researchers at the Frankenstein Institute for Extremely Scary Science announced the creation of a “lambaby.” According to a spokesperson for an angry mob that stormed the Institute, “arghle grumble blaarphle rhubarb rhubarb!”

Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.
We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!
As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work.
Just had to let my lone blog reader know. (*waves*)
Gotta run now.......getting ready for a booth event tomorrow and while Jackson is napping, I need to get some stuff done!
Heeerrrrrre, birdie, birdie, birdie. At some point, you’re going to need a drink of this niiiice water I brought you. Maybe not in the next minute, maybe not in the next hour. But I’ve got alllllll day, boys, and you’re the only thing on my calendar.

The piano is my forte, and I love to lie down in it,
It suits my laid-back at-etude, I don’t care how you spinet.
When I’m keyed up, can’t stay upright, life’s tempo gets too taxing,
I lie for just a minuet, and presto! I’m relaxing.
I’m never too Bizet to take a nap where notes are rolling,
When melodies float like the breeze, this console’s quite consoling.
So play whatever song you like; Chopsticks to Clair de Lune-a,
For where there’s a piano, I expect piano tuna.
We all octave a kitty like that, Kristina V.

I’ve been trying to look more evil and less snuggley, I swear. And yes, I’ll try to grow into my paws faster. Look, I know I have a lot to live up to, but I’m trying. Really. Please, I can’t sit in these Smurf undergarments any longer.

Azrael, a little help here?

& luckily we recently got a letter from the vet saying that november was their senior pet month and they are having a package deal for seniors including check up, blood work, discussing nutrition (& a bag of food) and i am not sure what else.
it didnt say how much it costs, but it is exactly what we need for him
in other news:
i am freezing today
i need to go find some socks
i also need to go hide under a blanket
yikes.
i think i will go put some potatoes on to boil & watch tv.

I don’t get it. What does she do? What do you mean, she just sits in there all day? Can you tap the glass or something? She has an Artist’s Statement??? Because as far as I can tell, she’s neither an artist, nor does she make any kind of statement. You know what? Here’s my statement: You come to my house tomorrow and I’ll charge you $40 to watch me sit on the couch all day. How’s that?

Today I packed up Jackson, a bottle of water and the stroller and headed to the mall to get some walking in. And we walked all the way around the mall twice, which took about 35 minutes. (We went down every side aisle too.)
By the time we were done, I was exhausted. Which means (to me) that WOW I am out of shape. Yes, the baby is pushing on my diaphragm a bit, making it harder to breathe, but sheesh!
This means that I will be making this trek at least 3 times a week now. Hopefully more... and I even came up with a "water drinking game" to do while walking, so that I would make sure to stay hydrated. Every time I pass a store (on my right) that's closed/vacant, I take a swig of water. The water was gone quickly that way.
Oh and I found my Mom's Christmas gift while we were walking...so that's nice too! I happened to see it as we walked by and it was in my price range, so I bought it on the way out.
I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to find a job quickly after I'm licensed, so at least there's that. It would be nice to have an income again. I vaguely remember what that was like, and I recall rather enjoying it. It would be nice, too, to be doing this thing that I trained for and that brings me such joy.
Speaking of joy, things are going well with both Brad and Chris, and I am a very happy girl. Brad and I are going to goth karaoke night tonight, and I'm very much looking forward to that. (
You know what, my little FriendBots? I truly love my life. I couldn't have chosen a better family if I'd been given a shopping spree at Family Members R Us. I have two amazing men in my life who love me as much as I love them. My friends are wonderful, intelligent, interesting, funny, fun people. My cats (and I'm including Brad's in this category) are awesome. I love this new city. I am surrounded by love and laughter and brightness, and I couldn't be happier. It is good to be me.

Reason? God's Food Pantry needs turkeys. We have money and they want the money to go to just that, turkeys! I'm not asking for anything from anyone here, just 'what have you seen' while out shopping.
So while I'm doing my own investigation here, I'm going to utilize this community and see if anyone here has seen a really good deal on turkeys 8 to 10 pounds, not huge. We want to get as many as possible with the money we have.
So... has anyone seen any really good deals? I want us to call the stores and see if they will discount the cost a bit since we're doing it for a food bank but I doubt we'll get very far with the big corporations.
Thanks!!!
I'm slowly getting my sleep schedule fixed.
The bff and I got front row tickets to see Bon Jovi in April. Back stage too. WooHoo!!
The gingerbread lattes and starbucks are absolutely dee-lish!
Unfortunately, that's all I got.
