Yay for popularity spam and for non-throwing up! and for my part, for painful catlove and for the Brujo, with whom I am about to have a hot date. Maybe we should go out in public-- I’m sorry, I could have sworn you just said, “pancake balls….”

How nice! And a stranger!" and then we look at where he's coming from and it's all "Personal investing" and I had to say "I got spammed, didn't I?" And this is how sweet my husband is, "Hey! Your blog is popular enough to get spammed! There are people out there who wish for spam! And it's nice spam so you can leave it up." So I will. As far as performance parenting, it definitely has uses, and there have been days when I have taken my kids out because I know in public I won't give in to the impulse to yell or say ugly things to them that I might at home, and I do know that when other people are getting on my nerves it is probably me reacting to something about myself. No one else has thrown up, aebelskivers are pancake balls featured not too long ago on cafemama.com, and light is good, and cat love can hurt. So I showed Allen Taylor’s comment to Raven, all “Look!

And, um, I think I have a tiny problem with quilt fabric addiction; and I used my lightbox this morning, desperately, for the first time since moving here; and, the cat has just today taken to sharpening her claws on my thrift-store Calvins--is she angry, or just ignorant of the fact that I'm inside them? By "today" of course I mean yesterday in technical terms, since it's 2 am, the Brujo snores peaceably in the next room, and I feel absolutely barking MAD. What, my dear, in the WORLD is this food called aebleskivers?!?
