KSDK Show Me St. Louis today (Thursday) 10am and 10:30am - live with dd

TEch week for Super Mario Ballet. Just heard that a Nintendo rep will be at a performance to do giveaways. Woot!

Dropping off dd for freshman year of college! Woohoo!

Joss Whedon's Much Ado is free on Amazon Prime! What a great way to end Mother's Day.

Just watched Sherlock season 3 episode 1, and have lost the ability to think about anything else.

Just finished re-watching The Reichenbach Fall in preparation for Jan. 1st. I think I need to go re-watch all the episodes again now.

So far this morning I've managed to convince myself that Early Application deadlines are Oct. 1st instead of Nov. 1st. Why do I torment myself this way?

Dd just made the most amazing cupcakes from scratch. I'm contemplating eating enough to make myself sick.

Dd's pet rat just jumped up on the kitchen counter and fell in the sink, which was full of dishwater. Who knew a young rat could jump that high?

Sick pet rat :(

Waiting for the Big Storm to start....

I'd like to stab someone with a crochet hook ... sheesh, I'm sick of crocheting these stupid collars.

ACT this morning!

Dd is cheering for the 49ers because their colors look like Gryffindor's

Snow!

On the bright side, now I feel vindicated for spending yesterday morning reading about science curriculum on the forums. Today I can ponder what I read yesterday.

The idiot cardinal who tries to live in our garage every winter just flew into the house.

Just got home from Wicked at the Fabulous Fox. Wow, what a great show!

Just discovered Vi Hart's math videos.

It's time to gather around the piano and sing Christmas carols.

Turkey and mashed potatoes already done, and it's still 2 hours until wee eat. Oops. I think we're all a bit too hyped up around here.

Sweet potatoes are cooking. Next, a load of laundry, then set up the dining room.

I think your posts in the thread about over-taxing the rich have been excellent. They are thoughtful, and I find them clearly written.

(I'm referring to the posts on Obama's past -- I could tell by reading your posts, for example, that you had already read Snopes and thought about it, then read some more sources.)

Thank you for your comments about the pagan origins of some Christmas traditions. I've thought those same things, but decided that if I said anything it would come out all judgmental. You managed to strike the right note with your comments.

Thanks for the post about forest being plural in Latin! That's very helpful to know.
