Quoth Jon:
I’m going to go have some ginger ale so I can be a fox in socks with detox on the rocks.
Yes, I promise to mix some Valium into his ginger ale. The pun was so awful that I actually turned my computer back on to blog this.

Birthday Surgery
Jon’s birthday is today and his big present: 2 hours of surgery under general anesthesia to remove cysts from his head! It went well and after 4 hours of letting the anesthesia wear off, he came home.
Birthdays
Jon’s birthday is Thursday. I got his present yesterday.
My father-in-law’s birthday is in September. I just ordered some llama parts for him off of The Heifer Project. (OK… it should technically be “shares of a llama”, not llama parts. Then again, you probably started reading more closely at that point, didn’t you?)
The giving of donation gifts started when my mom sent me an article on Project Linus and asked if I was going to do anything for them. I offered to donate a blanket or two in her name as a birthday present. When I told my mother-in-law, she told me that she wanted a donation to The Heifer Project. My father-in-law asked for the same thing and asked that it be an animal with big brown eyes and soft fur. I love it when my birthday giving is tax-deductible!
Great Conversations
V: Victoria, my mother-in-law
J: Jen
V: “… Monday morning quarterback”
J: “I’ve never understood that term. What does it mean?”
V: “Let me explain it in terms that you can understand. It’s when a football game is played on Sunday and someone gets on their blog on Monday morning and complains about how the game should have been played.”
J: *laughing* “You realize that I am so blogging this conversation.”

Light Posting
Jon just informed me that the trustees are coming to do a walk through on Tuesday evening. I am in flying squirrel mode trying to get the house cleaned. There will be very little posting until probably Thursday when my parents arrive.
