"Tell Tom that building a homemade helium argon laser is much harder than it looks."

And I'll remind everyone that it may be called "helium", but it isn't deductible on your medical savings plan.

Cheated death again! Tom drove us to Party City in the county seat and got his giant shark balloon filled with helium while I bought crickets at the adjoining Petsmart for our reptilian family members. Then he took us to “Taqueria La Unica!” to get gift certificates for my Mexican choir ladies, so they can make their husbands take them out to dinner.

On the “Merry Christmas” front, someone from church called me today and said her family, including in-laws I’ve never met, wanted to get us all Christmas presents! I sat down on a rock in the woods (I was walking Ash when she called) and cried! Now I’m trying to get Bill to come up with anything he wants that doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars ... in a pinch, there’s always iTunes cards, but that’s so impersonal.

About 5 weeks to baby, for those who have missed updates, and everything is going fine, in an old-and-tired sorta way.
