12 May 2008, 10:55 am - the good, the bad, the ugly... and don't forget the bizarre Because I know everyone cares, Sam went to Outback last night. What sealed the deal was getting their crab cake appetizer. It's really weird, I don't like crab cakes most of the time, but I like theirs. I think it's the sauce. Which is another one of those sauces where I don't analyze what is in it, because I might not like the answer.
I want either french bread pizza or pita pizza for lunch. This will mean a trip to Publix. There are worse things. I am actually hungry. Not just hungry, but hungry. Watch out, Kelly, you'll spend the whole week I'm there feeding me! ;) I have to make a telephone call later. I hate calling, especially when it's calling a business and you don't know the person on the other end. I suppose I'll get over it at some point today and make the call. If I don't make it today, I can't call again before I leave on Thursday, because of the days this place is open and closed. Oh well. I have great love for this past episode of BSG. Speaking of Kelly and BSG, No more Master's Academy, no more ballet, no more Girl Scouts for the summer. :)  
12 March 2008, 9:06 pm I am feeling deliciously foggy today. There was not much excitement; Gillian stayed home from ballet, though I still drove Stephanie there. I found out that there shouldn't be a conflict between Master's Academy next year and ballet next year, because likely there will be a Tuesday/Thursday section offered, not just the Monday/Wednesday.
I filled out my registration form for the 2008 LDS. That's a LLL thing, not a sign that I am converting to Mormonism, because I'm not. I was - and still am - slightly annoyed with the last two issues of the API newsletter. Last time the focus was solely on "special-needs" and this time it's all about adoption. Both of which are important issues, to be sure, but I cannot be the only member who has found nothing that she or he can personally relate to in the last two issues. The newsletter is supposed to be informative and helpful. I realize I sound bitchy and privileged. Deal with it. Tomorrow, I am going to finally mail my check and hence rsvp for my reunion. I have, like, four weeks from Saturday in which to find something to wear. Oh bliss. Friday, I need to do my online registration for the GA LLL conference. While I realize that all of life is one big to-do list, I hate it when that feeling is more prominent and easily pushed down below the surface. I also hate that I have to pay money to go to my high school reunion, where no doubt there will be bad food and booze of which I won't partake. The more I think about this, the more ridiculous it seems. Nevertheless, there it is. I need to figure out the rest of Gillian's summer camps. I found a golf one. w00t.  
10 February 2008, 9:47 pm - Unrelated Bullet Post • Netflix won't let Macs do the 'Watch Instantly' option. I feel as if I should get a small discount, since I will never be using it. They did invite me to buy a Windows emulator for my computer and then watch. Um, no. If I was going to buy a Windows emulator, it would not be for watching Netflix. Actually, I can really only think of one or two reasons I would buy a Windows emulator, and one of them is just a note that if I were going to run one, I might as well use that program. Otherwise, no.
• Gillian lost her eighth tooth tonight. As soon as she told me, I had to write myself a note so that I'd remember to take the tooth and replace it with a dollar. Luckily, I do have a dollar bill. Otherwise, I'd have to send Sam to QT or something. • I'm searching for a new shake/smoothie protein powder. I had been using the one JuicePlus makes, but I've decided I'm just not comfortable with the soy aspect. I'm thinking about a hemp-based one. • Does anyone actually watch the Grammys? • This week's episode on ww_renaissance is 'Let Bartlet Be Bartlet,' which is a little cheesy at the end, but overall, a really solid episode. Watching a WW episode each week makes me all kinds of happy anyway. • Gillian has to give a presentation at Master's Academy tomorrow, on Winston Churchill. She has index cards and everything. While parents are invited to attend the presentation, I don't really have the ability to have anyone else deal with Jacob, so I think we will just skip that. • I ought to go to bed now, but we slept late this morning, so I am having trouble convincing my body that I am, in fact, tired.
