Sleepover, fluffball, and a dolphin in my ear.
Last-minute sleepover. Girls are thrilled. I am a little "augh!" but will roll with it because really, what else is there to do? They are currently dinking around on the recorder (they just started recorder karate) and reading bits aloud from The Daring Book for Girls. Apparently it includes a bit on how to summon Bloody Mary.

Laurel home, rent assistance, hope it's the bottom.
Laurel is home for the week before school starts, which so far means she wants to watch TV (I canceled our cable last billing cycle but it's still on) and complains about the lack of snack food. We'll both be relieved when school starts on Monday ( Read more... ) -
G/T portfolio lunch, learned Duke TIP has a 4th/5th grade program.
Vogon went to sleep around 0830 so I let him be and went to the ACE portfolio sharing lunch. The kids had made Powerpoint presentations and each had a laptop to share it on, so I watched Laurel's and a couple of her classmates while noshing on school lunch tacos. When we get a copy of her presentation on CD, I will extract the photos so you can see ( Read more... ) -
Photo: Laurel's science fair project display
In late February, I mentioned Laurel's science fair project observing Squeaky's sense of smell and determining his preferred treat flavor. Her project was awarded second place and she brought home the ribbon a few weeks ago, but kept forgetting the display board. It finally came home so I took a photo of it for her to enjoy when she's older.

Things I have been doing (with photos) and things I have not (yet).
I haven't posted anything interesting in awhile so here's something to tide y'all over before I think about someone's flaming underwear again. (They're still lucky an accelerant-stained laundry bag didn't self-ignite while they weren't home. Not that I know anything about setting anything ablaze, but I practice responsible trouble-making. Except ( Read more... ) -
[add witty title later]
Well, now we know that Vogon's contract is unlikely to be extended; $_COMPANY is closing the site he's been working at. It's not a big surprise, as the site was already pretty quiet as a former manufacturing site scaled back to a lot of empty space.

Me: What kind of dreams did you have last night?
Laurel: [mumbles]

Ask me later what the cat thought of the PediPaws. (Hint: DO NOT WANT)
I'd been snoozing on the couch with the squeakinator when Vogon remembered he needed to buy some C cell batteries to try out the PediPaws. (I am dubious of the device, but he bought it ( Read more... ) -
Random bits: skirts over pants, sewing errata, pumpkin bread, The Banana Splits.
