At least I'm not the governor of N3w Y0rk

Because I once ordered a gift for someone, the Tiffany catalog comes to my house every so often to remind me that I will never ever own these. And I am 100 percent OK with that. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind owning these, which is also not going to happen. Whatever.

This morning, Bee was up early and apparently browsing the catalog. She picked out an eternity band with diamonds and pink sapphires, and she just could not understand my reticence to order it for her right away.

"It costs a lot of money, Bee."
"I don't like that. I just want it without giving any money."

You and nearly every adult in the United States, honey.

Permanent Snow Day

All of the students in the distance program I've been enrolled in the past two semesters got word this week (Spring Break week - ya - parteeeee) that the interim dean of special programs, who oversees this particular program, is recommending its closure. He assured us all that the school is committed to helping currently enrolled students finish their degrees either at the school or at another institution (Hello Phoenix University!). The students are rallying. Certain members of the faculty are rallying.

I have no idea what this will mean for me.

Do-Wa!

As I have mentioned before, Posey loves Dora with the intensity of a thousand suns. She would walk 500 miles to be the girl who walked 500 miles to fall down at Dora's door.  She says, "BAPPAK!!"

All morning, she has been asking to watch Mermay Kingdoh. That would be Mermaid Kingdom. We wanted also to look at the disc, which features a vision of Dora as a mermaid princess.

Posey smiled and tenderly placed her finger on the picture of Dora. "Das Do-Wa's cwown. Dat make me feel happy."
