Watching conan the destroyer until we take off for tonite's game. Dumb, but inspiring anyway. 🙂 #

@joshuamneff hope Val's better soon! (Had 2 cats sick this spring, so emotionally taxing! Force-feeding 15lb cat is physically taxing too.) in reply to joshuamneff #

@godlessgirl …and wanted to make up, they'd stand in a huddle, all say "penis" simultaneously, and laugh riotously. ah, to be 12. #
@godlessgirl this one time at music camp…but srsly, I was a counselor, had a group of girls who were friends, when they argued … in reply to godlessgirl #
is there a cell tower out in Lacey or something? I got no signal, or only intermittent signal. #
Arrested Development … in Lego: http://t.co/KyjpMs0 #
there's no better testing than actually launching a thing live. alas. :\ but so far nothing too crazy. #
@jhagey in my family, September is Cavalcade of Birthdays Month. So I guess being prepared with a ton of gifts & cards is a good fit? in reply to jhagey #

@simonstl how do you like beekeeping, BTW? in reply to simonstl #
@shelleypowers @simonstl not easy to find on the blog, but husband got a job in (transfer to?) Seattle. #
@simonstl 🙁 our neighbor lost one (?) of her chickens to raccoons. (kid left the gate to their fenced area open.) no weasels here, tho. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl our neighbor's chickens sometimes wander up our driveway, hilarious & terribly cute. (no probs w/our cats so far!) in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl if we didn't have two huge (poplar?) trees out front, I'd do veggies there myself. thinking about a spot for peas next year. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl Not quite Seattle, but in my Olympia n'hood, can think of at least 3 or 4 walking distance from my house. in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl indeed. shouldn't be any problems with front yard veggies around here. 🙂 in reply to simonstl #
@simonstl looks like she's moving to Seattle, tho. in reply to simonstl #

@MarkMessinger nooooooo! in reply to MarkMessinger #
@shelleypowers and then it got revised again to 3.7 miles (from 0.1mi). Science! #
@shelleypowers updated seismological info says it was very very shallow! sounds like difference in effects caused by diff rock composition. in reply to shelleypowers #
@OprahReadsNews @godlessgirl Colorado gets an earthquake, New Mexico gets an earthquake…. in reply to OprahReadsNews #
aaaand now I realize why I've always had so much trouble with spelling dessert vs desert. (Hotel Carver, bottom right of photo.) #
for all the west coast blase about quakes, 5.9 is still not necessarily anything to joke about. http://t.co/RKCcvjX photos of whittier '87. #
@heatregister eep! in reply to heatregister #
@rogue_3 altho…people up here did freak out something silly during Nisqually Quake. my 1st quake was in '87 abt this size. #quakeDrillsFTW #
@simonstl mom said she saw our dining room light sway in the '89 SF quake. I'm a bit doubtful, but she's not usually prone to exaggeration. in reply to simonstl #
@gusandrews does it make you feel a bit nostalgic for the quakes of your youth? 🙂 in reply to gusandrews #
@gusandrews @simonstl looks like 5.8 centered near Richmond VA. must be a heck of a quake to be felt in NYC/S. in reply to gusandrews #
@lauras "they have not disclosed the identities of the donors to their project, and have no intention of disclosing them" ridiculous. in reply to lauras #

Dammit. Just realized that I forgot to put lemon juice in the apricot jam I just made…my 1st non-freezer jam ever. ::sigh:: #
@dylanw it'll be ok. Really. (I ever tell you abt the time my house in tacoma got broken into 2 days before xmas?) Lots of deep breaths. in reply to dylanw #
@dylanw dude. That totally sucks. 🙁 in reply to dylanw #
@jackbrewster 🙂 just thinking not a great idea to make the conference room smell like garlic by bringing lunch with me. (homemade gyros!) in reply to jackbrewster #

@col_smallcities @mcclearysarah #ClarkCoWA in reply to col_smallcities #
@olybuzz a bit fussy for my tastes, but kinda like the taller ones. dimensions? in reply to olybuzz #
@olybuzz the breathing is VERY helpful if "ruminating" (worrying) is a problem. #
@olybuzz and in minor cases, meditative type breathing (slow, counting breaths) can be helpful. #
@olybuzz IME, good "sleep hygiene" helps (limit tv etc in evening, limit afternoon caffeine, bed only for sleep, room not too hot/cold.) #
@olybuzz AskMetaFilter may have some helpful tips: http://t.co/bNfwtVA #
@mcclearysarah @olybuzz I think we watched that one together on instant netflix. there was much ranting. in reply to mcclearysarah #
@tomvanderbilt I'd love to see it replicated with multiple cyclists. not surprised by the winter/summer difference, BTW. dark + rain = slow. in reply to tomvanderbilt #
@myerman she's moving to PDX in a year or two, and I actually feel a little weird about her being even that close. in reply to myerman #
@myerman not entirely ouch…in comparison to helicopter parents, good to have an independent mom. in reply to myerman #
@RaeBeta that was my scrapscallion question! (mom used to get the folkwear catalog – loved browsing it when I was a kid!) in reply to RaeBeta #
@myerman stick figure me is wearing cap & gown, smiling. stick figure mom is in RV, driving off to see the world. :\ in reply to myerman #
@myerman re 1st day of school: when I was abt 10, I drew a picture of what it would be like to graduate from HS – for a summer camp IIRC. in reply to myerman #

@eoctrl don't forget @agathafrye. 🙂 in reply to eoctrl #
Semi-epic bike ride ftw. Bracingly cold river on a day that actually turned out pretty warm. #
Seen wandering I5 bike trail, caught between trail & fence: a fawn, no mama to be seen. (Possible road kill? @wsdot?) #
@heyrocker I saw star trek 5 in the theater with my kid sis…only 1 other person there! (And the ending is laaaame. Like the rest of it.) in reply to heyrocker #
Around here you gotta take summer one day at a time…because we only get one day of summer at a time. #overcastAgain ! #
Waiting in line at stewarts meats at the farmers market, waiting for the bell to ring. #

gorgeous outside, freezing inside. #seasonalDressDayFail #
@heyrocker well, there is that. 🙂 in reply to heyrocker #
@heyrocker I still have the same iron mom bought me when I went away to college. Works pretty well, the once every two years that I use it. in reply to heyrocker #
@learningdrupal paper-based is sort of intriguing…the main thing is that it should feel like I'm solving a real problem. in reply to learningdrupal #
@learningdrupal hands-on, solving own problems, no question. group activities – help us solve a problem for another student – also helpful. in reply to learningdrupal #
