SF: And meat.
Son: Mom, are we meat?
SF: We are meat.

So great! I need to make sure I write more because I tend to forget if I don't. also, smithereens, funny!! I haven't heard that in years, or them for that matter. I am taking an online class and although my to do list hasn't gotten any smaller I feel very productive calculating different ways of expressing N....yawn. Keep up the conversations. I think they are funny and the girls like them too!!
I have felt an urgent need to communicate this with you all day: I, too, am obsessed with Jim and Pam. I feel as worried about them and their situation as if they were real people I knew. Or, as if they were me. How, how???? to watch season 3? I will find out from my genius media-scammer son-in-law and get right back to you.
