Birthday Week

As many of you know, it’s birthday week here. Our oldest just turned thirteen Sunday ( :faint: ) and today the mid-sized child turns 10.
Happy Birthday, babies. Even if you’re not babies anymore. :lurve:
Emmatyville has given them a couple new words this week as gifts.
The first is schizolingual.

I Want This Book

Sweating The Small Stuff

Happy Easter! ‘Tis the season of Cadbury eggs, malted eggs, chocolate bunnies…
No Peeps, though. :karate: Eww.

Pride AND Sanity Goeth Before The Fall

:whine:
Oy. I’ve been working on styles and finalizing ebook formats.
It took me AN ENTIRE HOUR yesterday to figure out how to insert your basic horizontal line in Word 2007. I almost gave up, but I decided I was not going to let Microsoft beat me.
I finally found the answer buried deep in the bowels of [...]

A Rarity

It’s finally happened — DH has found a chick flick he actually liked. :wtf:
I was too busy to watch with him that first time, and of course since he liked it, I was pretty well convinced I’d hate it. (He’s still on the enemy watch list for that whole Band of Brothers ordeal. I loved [...]

Oh Man

I thought this was really romantic in a…completely unforgivable type way.
PRINCE GEORGE, British Columbia – A man in Prince George, British Columbia, thought he had the perfect way to propose to his high school sweetheart. Instead of popping the question on a moonlit Caribbean beach this week, though, Aaron Tkachuk, 24, wound up popping the [...]

Last Night’s Stand Out

Loved it.
And then Danny Noriega won Project Run — Er, Prisstian won Runway.
The word here is not “fierce”. The word here is whatever. :eyeroll:
