OOOH!

So, I *finally* decided what I'm doing for my birthday.

The Stack 'Em High program looks interesting, and it's short in case it's not. Ana is *almost* three, after all (she really is, too, so I don't mind saying that.)

I've been wracking my mind to find something to do with the family that we'd all be likely to enjoy, and this seems to be it. Indeed, if it goes well, I just may work to make going to their programs a semi-regular thing! After it's over we'll head up to do something else. I'm tempted by the Natural History Museum, but it's nowhere near where I'd like to eat lunch (or dinner, egads), so I don't know....

Taken from metaquotes

This is the most disturbing editorial I've read in a few days, even more so than the one about flying snails....

*goes to list of countries to flee too*

I guess Wales is off this list. And I always thought Welsh must be such a pretty language, too!

_{Oh, and thank ladybirdsleeps for the article on flying snails.}
