On a semi-serious note, the world is full of different people. You may find your son(s) adore pink girly stuff. Times are changing pretty quick with regards to that kind of thing. ---

Times are changing pretty quick with regards to that kind of thing. I don’t even like pink frilly stuff on a girl 😛 However I was blessed with a “princess” for a daughter. She started sneaking my makeup at age 1.5 and loves anything pink ---

I was very good today. I got to school on time, as always. I got a chance to go to the bank and get stuff done there. I got exercise. I worked very hard in school. Then I came home and ate lots of chips and chocolate. I blew my chance to behave myself for an entire day. Ah well. 🙂 ---

Back from Salsa’s (yum!!) and Food Lion. My sauce is now properly mushroomed, and it shall simmer a while longer. Tomorrow is sketty night! 😃 \*\*Apes \*\*- maybe your daughter will discover her inner beautician, now that she’ll have someone to practice on! 😉 \*\*Soapy \*\*- when we bid on this house, we gave them 24 hours to get back to us - it worked and we got the answer we wanted. We gave the deadline because back in '04, the bidding wars were beginning and we weren’t going to play that game. Anyway, fingers crossed! I shall soon assume the knit position - hope I stay up longer today than yesterday - I was in bed just after 8 and I pretty much slept till 5. I guess I was tired. ---

**Congrats\*\*\*\*Apes**!!! How soon before we need to start givin’ the twins “helpful advice” on bein’ big sister and brother? 😃 **Spaz** glad your dad is in better spirits. Dindin was tres nummy if’n I do say so myself. Green sallit, chikin pot pie and baked apples with vanilla ice cream. OYKW said he had a real happy tummy. Go Me! **Soapy** continued appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the house. It’s almost seven p.m. and it’s 67 Amurrkin out. That’s a little freakishly warm for here even in January. ---

Just had a skype meeting about zoo stuff- it’s always funny, 'cos my parents use the computer at work, which means every time there’s a gap in the conversation, you can hear the crickets in the background 😃 BTW, said Mother’s friend’s kids are not much younger than me, so that was back when the machines were new (at least new to that hospital) and magic. I suspect they’re a little better at using them now… 😉 ---

It’s been moving quickly- last night we had offer and reply. Today we made offer and should hear tonight. I’m hoping that its either accepting our offer or we accept theirs and done. If I had to wait 24 hrs+ between offers I’d implode. :eek: I don’t do “waiting”. ---

Well, I just did the _Jeopardy_ online test, and I think I did OK. Wish me luck; I won’t know my score, and if I’m selected, it could be a year before I find out. ---

Thanks, guys. And congrats, **Apes**! It looks like I might have other big news on the ‘art’ front but I better wait until I know for sure to spill the beans. It’s funny that you mention waiting **Soapy** , I had to wait a long time for this other thing to come through. Ugh. Good luck with your house! ETA: And good luck to **VBob** , too! ---

Do you do anything besides work and chat with the Hockey Lady? **I** , for example, work, chat with Mrs. Plant v.3.0, feed the fish, clean up after the cats and mildly flirt with Rosie.
