Good point, Chelle -- I'd spend the entire weekend agonizing over grammatical blunder. OTOH, if she stays here she can more easily autograph all my PHP books.

Ironic that I goofed up typing that.

lol!

Yesss. DDs's (twice weekly) class ends at noon...and is conveniently located next to lots of restaurants...

lol, I'm lucky, by September youngest will be driving and I won't have to take her. ;)

Dd raised her score 4 points between the first and second time. She'd like to get one more point.

She'll get it, Gail!

Good luck, Heather's boy! (1bassoon, that is your name, right? I'll be embarrassed if it's not!)

Perfect! She can base the fabric design on that! lol

will it have a throne made of books? =)

All Sherlock Holmes, of course.

i mean that sympathetically1

I wonder if that's how the ancient Egyptians figure out they were good for scooping out brains.

Don't give me any ideas regarding the brain-scooping. The Powers That Be on this project seem to be a little short of brains as it is.

I would be so excited for her and so sad for me. Will she rotate among the Smithsonian museums?

She's at the American Art Museum doing lighting for the exhibits for the entire time. And, yes, excited for her, but pity party for me that she's totally independent these days.

It is such an exciting adventure for her. Knowing that, makes the letting go a little bit easier with time.

Oh My!

They are pounding on my roof as I write this. I couldn't imagine having a tooth extraction at the same time. The noise is deafening and the house shakes.

Recipe?

Fannie Farmer COokbook 12th ed. "Boston Favorite Cake" p. 512. Frosted with the butter frosting we use for Christmas cookies, which is butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a dash of cream.

Thanks!

They've posted it on the website now. They put both videos together into one long clip.

Totally awesome!!! That will be a blast this weekend!

Thanks! We think so, too.

WHAT? LINK to website???

I wish we lived closer... it looks fun!

I know that feeling! Sometimes I'm secretly just a little bit happy when my boys don't make the baseball tournament playoffs! I like to call it "looking at the bright side!" lol

LOL! Have definitely had those moments. Especially as we're going into the last 3 weeks of a BIG show.

Yeah, we're in tech week of a different show right now. And she just got roped into this one 3 weeks ago during performance weekend of a different show when current show's director needed to quickly replace the head flying monkey. I've reached my limit.

Yea! Hope it all went well!

So far so good. Can't wait to hear how classes go once they start.

It was awesome! St. Louis did a really good job, very well organized, no major glitches. Do your kids fence?

No, but it seemed like we should go since it was right here in town.

LOL! Dd is trying to convert the hubs and me. We're trying, but it's dark for my taste.

Update. Just watched S2E1. Am hooked.

Awesome!!!!

Wonderful! Enjoy :)

*shiver*

How high did it jump? Did it jump from the floor to the counter? From the table? Can you measure this distance please?

Stay warm! We are getting colder over here and should have a really good rain, but that's it. We totally don't need the rain.

It just started a little bit ago where we are. The kids have been anxiously awaiting the flakes.

So am I

Interesting in a good way, I hope! :)

Sounds fun, but exhausting! Good luck to her!

A girl after my own heart!

Same! A couple of nights this week. Brrr!

I can't believe you just used the word "idiot" to describe a cardinal! I'm so disappointed in you! ;)

Watched it too! Now moved on to Kenneth Branagh's version, also on Prime.

Love it!
