I got my second present this birthday without a note -- some cool gear from Code Pink. Is it from you? If so, speak up so I can thank you properly. :)

In other news, saw Teller's Macbeth last night. First half really lived up to my expectations, but the second half sort of fizzled. But still, it was good to enjoy a play that's not one of my favorites.

Got this awesome shirt (based on the Experimental Jetset explosive design) yesterday from Tricia. I was all squealy opening it, espexially considering I was the biggest proponent of us doing one of these designs at work. (Excuse the guest bathroom.) ;)

I got the full LOLcat treatment at work, complete with a litterbox cake from our local cake guru, Jen. Nom nom nom.

Yay. I exist. Glad. Eric sent these gorgeous flowers to work, and Disney is elated there are boxes to play with at home. And I had reindeer Smarties for breakfast. Nom.

Here is little Robbie, checking Daddy's "emu." His Dad and I went to elementary school together. He's 2 1/2 and is busy reading words and playing Pole Position (in which the object is to hit the signs.... I think I might have been better at driving games if I went with that theory). His mom and dad are raising a great kid -- he's full of "please," "thank you," and "by self!"

With Jenn's departure, I have a new officemate -- Dulcie! Oh, and her human, Jen, too. ;)

What a great word. I had to post a picture. There's freezing rain outside and I'm standing in a huge line behind a guy who might have done speed earlier today (he's explaining how Woodbridge is the new Springfield and Fredericksburg is the new Woodbridge to anyone who makes eye contact), but I'm pretty sure that if you're female and you live within a mile of the Lorton Reformatory, the Guilt Fairy actually visits you and pokes you with her wand if you don't vote at every opportunity you're offered. Freezing rain and long lines, be damned.

Had to take a picture of this. Flickr greeted me in LOLcat today!

Domino's Pizza Tracker is eerily detailed. Apparently, Eduardo put my order in the oven at 7:04 p.m. In other news, the cervix is all good. I got the news that I'm "unremarkable" last week. Whee!

A big huzzah to everyone on the Dinner: Impossible episode tonight filmed at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Tom and Cindy were great, and it was good to see glimpses of friends like Mary Ann and Judy, too.
