Now? The real work begins. May the wind be at your back, Mr. Obama and a *massive* shit-picker-upper because between the country & the new puppy, you’re gonna need one. And if you require the services of a librarian/taxonomist, ping me, eh?

I took my little girls to their girl scouts meeting this evening & when the troop leader asked about people who can respect, who you look up to? The entire troop shouted OBAMA! Over & over. Totally unprompted. This is only their second meeting, most of the girls don’t really know […]
I had a post half written about the economy fuss when someone called wanting to see the house. We had one hour to get the house in showing condition so off we went, cleaning, wiping, vacuuming, dishes… As we were getting shoes on to go out & read in a nearby coffee shop, the […]
And today I made: two loaves of sammich bread, one loaf of some seriously fancy garlic bread (dip the raw bread slices in melted butter, chopped garlic, & fresh parsley then smoosh all the slices into the bread pan), and a dozen bagels. Seriously — why I get inspired to make bread on […]

M1 & I spent two hours reading the Cat Who Talked to Ghosts to each other tonight. I made her read me a chapter while I put the bread together, then I read her… two? three? chapters. We’re getting to the good part where all the clues start coming together & the […]
This morning… it seems like I did something, but it is terribly far away & I can’t remember what it is. Then P came and got me & said, “I have something you can do if you’re looking for something to do!” — which I wasn’t, but eh. He took me ’round […]
So brassratgirl scooped the NYT (at least for me)!

Johns Hopkins University said Friday that it had programmed its computers to ignore the word “abortion” in searches of a large, publicly financed database of information on reproductive health after federal officials raised questions about two articles in the database. […]
