Organizing my mood icons took way more time that it should have, but it was worth it, I think. Now I have pretty Darcy and Elizabeth mood thingies! Hurrah!

Quixotic would totally be the most awesome Scrabble word ever.

The phone system here is interesting - it rings 4 times then goes into the automatic directory, where the person then can chose the extention of their choice, so I'm not supposed to answer unless the person bounces out of voicemail. It is hard to remember not to answer the phone. Not that I'm complaining, mind, it's just hard, because it rings rather loudly.

My town's schools offer a breakfast program, but I usually feed Charlie at home, because I think the breakfast program is for kids who's parents may not be able to afford to feed them or something, and I didn't want people to think that was the case with me. However, it's probably really designed for people who just don't have time to deal with breakfast in the mornings, and this morning that's how I felt. I usually can get breakfast ready for Charlie, but with one thing and the other, I just didn't, so I asked him if he'd like to buy breakfast today.

He was thrilled. "Today and tommorrow?" he asked hopefully. I said sure, and gave him money for both days. All he could talk about on the ride to school was how he was going to go downstairs with Tyrell for breakfast.

I have a feeling this is going to become a habit.

Am I alone in really wanting American Idol to go away? I know some people on my flist like the show, but I just can't see the appeal. For those who like it, what is it that appeals? (In my case, I think I can't get past the snarky 'let's make fun of the bad people' part of the show.) And did anyone see The Simpson's parody of it this past Sunday? mmmmm...that's good satire.

Right. I will shut up now.

Thanks to everyone who friended my friend or said hi to her. You guys rock!

Holly used to buy her breakfast everyday in kindergarten and first grade. For whatever reason, the bus ride would give her a bellyache, and if she ate here, it made her sick - once she threw up on the bus, and once in class. It ended up being a more pleasant experience for everyone if she ate there. I think they only charge $1.10, so it's pretty reasonable.

The sooner American Idol leaves, the happier I'll be.

This is going to drive me nuts... there is a completely HILARIOUS "Stone Soup" comic centering around the word "quixotic" being played in Scrabble, and it was rerun recently, so I should be able to find it... but the uComics page is not working. Gaaah.

I rule.

that was awesome. Just need to write "Kylie" over the woman's head. :)

hee.

I never have managed to play "quixotic", though. What I love SO SO MUCH about that strip is that it TOTALLY WORKS. Like, you can figure out where she would have played it on the board, and all the point totals are right, and everything. I hate when they make stupid jokes on sitcoms about someone playing a word in Scrabble that's like 23 letters long and has two Z's or something. Not possible, man!

I used to eat in school and kindergarden... I can't say those are fond memories, but I don't know what they feed in your school. However I think it's safe to assume it's not healthy food like in Japanese schools (they send monthly scheduals ahead so the family can plan it's meals accordingly. The nutrition details are there as well).
Ask him what he had, I'm curious

I watched American Idol a couple of times. When you ignore the low level it's not too bad. Just don't take it seriously
