Reader's Digest, here I come.

Interestingly, I had no idea that "serviettes" also meant towels, I only knew it meant napkins, LOL.

And "napkin" means something entirely different in Great Britain....

Well, we've decided to just watch T's LP for now and not do surgery. The recovery time is 8 weeks an would be very difficult on both him and us. He's a grade 2 our of 4, so it's still in gray area. He won't grow out of his current condition but it may just stay the same and not get any worse. Let's hope that is the case.

As for band names, Dead Skin Cells is my current choice.

Yay! I just picked up a shift at the park for today. Moneymoneymoneymoney...

Apparently the place must be packed, because my position doesn't exist w/out crowds. Just sayin. (Thank you TSMM opening!)

Hurrah for small successes!

Several months ago, I ordered the bridesmaid gown for my friend's wedding. All that was available from the requested company were somewhat form-fitting styles, and the bride had asked us to pick satin fabric. And the company had an upper limit of sizes, so I was stuck ordering the largest one though some of the measurements were too small. I was very concerned it wouldn't fit.

It arrived today. It fits. Well, actually, it doesn't quite fit - it's too big in the areas that would've fit before, just right in the areas that wouldn't have.
