Who made up "Giving Tuesday" anyway? Bah Humbug.

Our car dies and when we go to look for a used car to buy, people look at us funny when I explain I really need a car with a CD player. Why? To play and replay our stash of Great Course audio cds!

I got an iPad, I keep clicking user profiles instead of topics. I'm promise I'm not creep in' on everyone whose thread I attempt to read.

May the 4th be with you! (couldn't resist it :) )

Thinking of turning Sacha's year of chemistry into a year of formulating DIY Asian beauty products. A win-win for us both!

What do you call that place where the kids are still too sick to do normal stuff, but not too sick to annoy each other?

I am absolutely astonished to report that I did not win the Powerball.

Ds just explained that he doesn't like jow stressful procrastinating is. "Perhaps we should plan and start earlier." I am SO glad that has finally gotten through!

I'm thinking a housework club might be more motivational than a book club, at this point. Anyone want to join? :D

Joshua Feurstein needs a WTM education. Let's start with a logic class.

Wow, actual rain with actual thunder. Been a long time.

One of my son's mentors is obnoxiously attractive. I feel ridiculous, but it is very hard to focus during our meetings sometimes.

Attention WTM World: I'm Back! Gil is on the boards. Let the rejoicing commence.

I feel like the last page of any given curriculum should play a trumpet blast and spray some confetti when we get to them.

My dishwasher is dead! It is screeching and I am afraid to let it finish the cycle.

The dish fairy failed me again, so I guess I'll go do them.

So the doctor called in a bottle of antibiotic that cost $170 for Grace. Yeah, that's not happening. Not sure what to do now. Can I call the doctor's office tomorrow and say, "Apparently you read the last name on her chart wrong. It's not Walton, Hilton, Trump, or Gates. We need poor folk antibiotics."

The drawing in my avatar was done in 1848.

I am alone in my house for the first time in months. I have no idea what to do with myself :)

Hit the superfecta again! (Dinner, a full day of school, clean house and exercise) That's twice this month. I am on a roll.

I pulled out the superfecta today: full day of school, clean house, roast turkey dinner and I got in a run. Boy am I tired.

8am swim lessons is just wrong

I officially hate Home Depot more than Sears. They sell me washer/dryer, take my money, schedule delivery and then tell me its backordered till infinity and beyond.
