Awesome. Being fat in Germany is probable cause. I'm going to recommend to German police officers that they stay away from Disneyworld.

Welcome back Hida!

My daughter's birthday party was yesterday and all was well until the cake/singing/blowing out candles part where she blew a gasket. It seems her dislike of being the center of attention in public settings is getting stronger because she freaked out and hid under the table. The video of the whole thing was pretty comedic...if it's not your child, so we had to take her to the room to calm her down. She almost had a second melt down opening gifts with her firends around her, but we were able to distract her enough that she calmed down and enjoyed the rest of the party.

I think I saw that he already re-signed with Katusha.

edit: I tried to go look for an article and couldn't find anything. Maybe I imagined it?

I'm officially done with work until the 3rd. I'm going to celebrate with a nice LSD ride.

The Christmas lights should make it pretty spectacular.

While Jan used to start out the season kind of zaftig, didn't he usually lose the baby fat by July?

welcome back. I now wonder if GA's facebook wall is going to become more desolate as people are returning from self-imposed exiles.

thanks, and

that was a lot more about being supportive at a tough moment/move in her life than it was "i.need.a.bf.fix!!"
