Swapped 6-yr-old b-day party for 6-yr-old picnic.Big fun, no mess, worn out children. And the child was grateful! I'll remember this one.

It has just struck me that I haven't quite figured out the subtleties of the wink. What does a wink do that a smile doesn't? Any seasoned winkers out there who could share their insights?

Attended memorial for 5 mo. old baby. Prayers for comfort and restoration for the family.

You know you've had too much Doctor Who when you dream of a spider that can spin so fast it propels itself up and onto people. It's dime-sized body extending generously proportioned limbs with talons on the end. And no matter what your husband picks up to hit it, he misses.

Best writing morning in a long time. I feel right again.

Wish I could read in my sleep.

On a Saturday morning social networking app binge - Facebook, Netflix, ping.fm, Twitter, aim and gmail. Might even rev up boxee!

Cartoons with the kids. It's been a long time. So long that we're watching them from one of my iTunes libraries.

Sitting/lying down for the first time today. Hope I can stay awake on "Sag Harbor."

At the park with "the baby." no other children here. A beautiful day in Zamunda.

Boxee iPhone app is not really up to snuff. Some functions not supported - like "play."

Scratching the hip hop itch before I get the kids from school. Yes.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers... and the muthas!

Watching qubo on my iPhone and the TV. I need help.

Garage sale day in Woodbury. A wrong turn could jack up your afternoon.

Making a (prescription) drug run.

Sigh of relief that Mom is home. I'm getting some serious training running up stairs, but I love it - reminds me of by track days.

So glad Mom's coming home tomorrow. She kicked butt in therapy!

Watching The Aristocats and Mom's pulse-ox. It's amazing how much time can pass watching digits change on a machine.

Mom's hospital room is posh! She's got a couch.

The chairs in the waiting room just need a little foot rest. Everyone in here realizes now what time they woke up.

Day of Mom's surgery. Waiting room is loud so early in the morning.

My daughter says the swineflu pig slaughter in Egypt is exactly like X-Men: people were afraid of disease and were ready to kill all mutants

Listening to my first audiobook. I feel like I should be holding something.
