Is that a euphemism? I'm not up on all the kids' slang.

Yeah, I'd heard of those traditions. I was just kidding. You know, are me and the missus going to try the "crystal thing." Nudge, nudge, wink wink.

Seriously though, this year we planned that to celebrate, I was taking the day off and we'd do something together like go out into the country to pick apples and hit a couple vineyards. But it looks like it will rain, so maybe we'll catch a movie or hit some museums. Have a nice meal at home with the kids for dinner.

I bought a tv last week and we kind of decided that was my present, even though the whole family will be using it, and so I bought her some jewelry for her present. The tv cost a lot more though. And it's got liquid crystals, so I guess it counts.

Friday night we'll have a babysitter and we're going out to a very nice restaurant.

Zima. omfg!

Congrats, glatt! 15 is an awesome milestone.

glatt · 09-24-2008, 08:49 PM

Thanks! We're pretty pleased with it too.

But all plans are off for tomorrow. Little glatt came home from school with a 103 fever, so he'll almost certainly be home from school tomorrow and that blocks all plans. So we'll shoot for Friday instead. Weather should be better then too so it's probably for the best. Also, the jewelry I ordered that was supposed to arrive yesterday but didn't ship out until today will show up at my work tomorrow, so it's better that I'm there to receive it.

classicman · 09-24-2008, 11:37 PM

Great for both of you - things seem to work out in the end, don't they?

Meaning: where's all the chatter about McCain "suspending" his campaign? WTF?

I figured there'd be a huge fight, er...discussion regarding this seemingly bad decision.

wow. like clockwork.

as soon as it gets the tiniest bit cold at night, my carpal tunnel acts up and my hands and arms go painfully numb.

time to get out the braces.

I had never heard of Stanislav Petrov before I saw this link posted elsewhere on the 'net. Good to know such beings exist, isn't it?

Elmo is so much better than Sarah Brightman.

My suggestion: if companies and their managers and execs need our "bailout" dollars to stay afloat, then we should insist that every company and every manager and exec be treated to a thorough IRS audit.
