sethrakDid a small amount of visible-spot mopping and a grand total of four squats while pushing Jack-jack on the swings Tuesday.
Paying for it. Itai. Actually took pain meds last night, and will probably do it again in a sec. I need my max. allotment of spoons for the end-of-year picnic Jack's class is having at Memorial Park. (Mark's is having a potluck *in the classroom*. Not even on the pre-k playground. :p I called him in sick and cancelled his bus.)
Reading stuff over at John Scalzi's blog, since LJ's karenhealey linked there yesterday and now the awesomenagaina has as well. Good stuff; good patience on the part of those commenters willing to help educate people who aren't just Basic Social Justice 101, but in the remedial section.
I personally think a better analogy, at least for USA-raised nerds of my own vintage, would be Oregon Trail, not an RPG on various difficulty settings. But that's a fairly small subset of the people who need this analogy, so not all that useful for addressing the larger problem.
Also skimming through etsy trying to find something specific I saw on one of my sewing blogs back before Nidhogg died last summer. I hereby link to this adorable pirate captain kitty pincushion; the seller also makes Mario and Luigi ones. http://www.etsy.com/listing/65069587/pirate-pincushion-cat-blue-captain-red?ref=sr_gallery_20&ga_search_query=pincushions&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_page=15&ga_search_type=handmade (AND a Princess Leia! How did I miss that?!)
(Wonder if they'd make a Totoro...)
After the picnic, which we will bail out of at the first sign of meltdowns or otherwise unacceptable Zodling shenanigans, we will probably swing by Burger King for fries for the boys, and then on to Walmart for the belated payday shopping.
