    A ferret joined our family today. At least DD12 is thrilled about it. Me...not so much.

      One of sister's adult children "dumped" on a ferret on her. She came to really love the little guy. Hope it works out. :)

    A week ago we broke a record with mid-80s temps. Now we're in a "winter" storm watch. Can I just hibernate until it's spring for real?

    About to start my third episode of the new Arrested Development. Methinks I'm not going to get much checked off my to-do list today.

      We have to wait until we rewatch the seasons. Sigh.

      There's really no need to rewatch all the old ones first, but that's fun too.

    aklhakegbahlgh. That's pretty much my mind now after waking up at 3 last night and not being able to get back to sleep.

    An ad for a Wonder Woman Juniors Bra and Panty Set just popped up in my Facebook sidebar.

      I wish I had thought of getting that for my sister's birthday last week! Would've gone great w/the Wonder Woman card I got her! On second thought, a "Junior" isn't really her fit. :)

    Anyone watching Under the Dome?

    Baby, it's cold inside! I think I need an A/C parka. The silliest part is that it's only in the low 70s outside.

      I would have to change from shorts to jeans and sweater to go to the movies in the summer. Brrrr!

      The hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and Dawn mix really works! The cat didn't freak out too much and smells MUCH better now.

    Cats do not make good workout partners, especially when they keep walking under you when you're doing a push-up.

      Lovely, "helpful" little creatures aren't they? :) Mine both like to walk under me during pushups as well as try to sit on my chest and give "kisses" during crunches.

    DH is "cleaning up" our big bookshelf, and it's stressing me out. We do have books we should probably give away, but getting rid of books makes me twitchy.

    1. happymomofboys

      It would make me twitchy too. *twitchtwitch*

    Diane Setterfield (The 13th Tale) will release a new novel, Bellman and Black, in November! http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17571907-bellman-and-black

    Don't forget to spring forward.

    Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to.

    Dressed up as a Fox background dancer. As I suspected, no one at work has seen one of the biggest viral videos of the year.

      I have no idea what that is either...(I didn't even know it was a viral video)

    Earlier today, my girls started arguing over which one would get to have a pet unicorn if having unicorns as pets were possible. They also fought over the name. Sigh.

    1. SorrelZG

      SorrelZG

      I can empathize. My boys argue over whether they are fighting with imaginary light sabers or imaginary swords.
