    Good news

    Rob&apos;s dad is doing ok – he&apos;s out of ICU. They took a lower lobe of his lung, some lymph nodes, and apparently part of a rib. The nodes were clear, and they think they got all of the cancer. Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

    I do believe in fairies, I do! I do!

    I’m having a very nice, quiet weekend with sqlrob. Sleeping in, minor household chores, video games (Simpson’s Hit & Run), and movies. Last night we watched Peter Pan. I liked it a lot – definitely a lot darker than Disney’s version. Jason Issacs was very yummy both as Dad and as the nefarious Hook. Honesty demands that I admit I cried when Tinkerbell was dying. <grin> Today we watched From Hell, a movie based on Jack the Ripper. That was a good movie. It wasn’t as gory as I’d feared, and the mystery draws you in. Fascinating flick, with a…

    A is for…

    This conversation actually took place a week or so ago – I keep remembering then forgetting to post it. Me: :::preparing to have an apple with peanut butter, twisting off the stem prior to slicing the apple::: : That better be “R”! Me: :::giggling::: Funny thing is, in my head I was chanting: “A… B… C….” OK, maybe it was funnier at the time. Strange how childhood rituals stick with you.
