Teenyfob is what I was calling her in some other thread. Gotta save microfob and nanofob in case I have more after this.

Well, there's always picofob, femtofob, attofob, zeptofob and yoctofob - in case you really go nuts.

I just call mine Aden and Maverick. That's much easier.

I'm happy that It's Feb 1st. seems like spring is not too far off now. plus the beginning of the month is SO much easier than the end for me. Tomorrow will suck bad, but the 1st 10 days of the month are usually quite calm and relaxed at work. we do half of our month's business in the last 10 days.

and, as I am every day...I'm happy to be jinx's husband, and my kids Father.

My daughter tells me that she's glad she has a BIG dad like me. cuz I make her feel safe.

My son made me a sign that I look at every day when i get dressed: " Candy is sweet, and you can't be beat. So have a good day!" ......kids rule.

too much happy for February?

Only 212 days left until I'm done with grad school.

I must complete 20 assignments that amount to approximately 40,000 words, 35 "pages," and some to-be-determined deliverables for a consultancy project. So that's at least, what, 150 pages of stuff?

That's quite a daunting number to me. My entire undergrad career might equal that if you count programming projects.

Anyway, I like having all of my metrics together. I can tick off things and that makes me happy.

Which basically negates that whole "it's better to buy a car at the end of the month" maxim, right, since everyone's doing it?

I was so tired when I got off the train this evening, that I thought I would pass out. And maybe puke, at the same time. But as I rode the escalator up to the main concourse, my ears perked up. I could hear music...really fucking awesome music!

There was this old guy parked against a column, singing the blues and expertly jamming on his guitar...Gregory Underwood, I believe his name is. I may be mistaken (I was delirious), but it seemed that it was a SEPTA employee sitting beside him, providing perfect vocal harmonies.

It's stuff like this that makes me love Philly.

meh?

who can say? you're more likely to get a great deal on the last day of the month, but also more likely to sit and wait 3 hours for finance

My brand spanking new Keen snowboots kept my feet warm, snuggly and dry this morning walking in to work through 8 inches of snowy slushy mess.

Sometimes, it's the small things...

LJ, there is no such thing as too much happy!
