For your reading pleasure

800 chihuahuas, other dogs taken from Arizona home - Ew. 800?!?!? I can see why E gets so upset about me wanting a third cat. Then it will be 4...5.... but they're so gosh-darned cute! Like seriously, what's so wrong about wanting a clown car of kitties? Or mitosis bunnies? I'd stop before it got out of control, srsly!

Boyfriend: Phobia caused woman's 2-year bathroom stay - Now I KNOW you've heard this story already. I cannot even imagine. One thing E and I are wondering is whether she's overweight? We're guessing yes, because in order for your skin to grow around a toilet seat, there would probably have to be some overhang to begin with, right? Plus, if she wasn't mobile for two years, she probably wasn't getting enough exercise to keep the pounds off.

School clears kid in contraband candy caper - Political scandals on a small scale! How traumatizing! First Spitzer, and now this... what is going to disappoint us next? Don't worry, I promise not to disappoint MY constituency. (Except I've been eating lunch in the Norton doctor's lounge this week even though I'm not working at Norton... shhh!)

Some day my 9-to-5 job will come - I saw the premiere of this show, and it was pretty good. Yes, it was totally sad that the husband couldn't handle the kids, and kind of sad that the oldest daughter was a second mommy (reminds me of my own childhood), but it was a good show. Obviously she doesn't need the job for the money, or she would have gone back to work already, but is it really that bad for women to want to do something outside the home? I think people need to find other things to be upset about, rather than how other people's children are raised. Like global warming, sustainable energy, or Darfur. I'm really more upset that 'Wifeswap' is on the air than this one.

Final 'Harry Potter' book to be split into two movies - Yay! Of course, if you ask me, all of the books had elements that shouldn't have been removed that were removed anyway, to the detriment of future movies. I'm interested to see how this will turn out.

Tooth Fairy economics ain't nickel-and-dime - I got a quarter for each tooth. And toward the end there, the Tooth Fairy left me my teeth, too, so I used to have an empty tic-tac container with a good number of my baby teeth in it... I wonder where that went to? But even back then, I knew kids who got a dollar, and I think the maximum I ever heard was five. Craziness! And apparently I didn't take enough business classes, because I'm intrigued to hear the rest of the dad at the end's franchise lecture...

I watched a bit of that Soccer Mom show (the one with the chef) - not to the end, so I didn't see that - but I thought she had a good approach. She just wanted to see if she still had her skills. I do think it's a shame that there are still those armed camps about working or not working outside the home.

As far as the tooth fairy is concerned: my Korean exchange student said that their tradition is to throw baby teeth up on the roof. She was unclear as to the reason, but she said that her grandmother's house has all her brother's and her baby teeth on top of it. Sounds weird to us, but how normal is it to put them under a pillow?

I watched the chef one last night -- she was also offered a job at the end but declined it. Wasn't completely financially feasible, it seems. The fashion designer chick took her job offer, but her husband was a doctor, so I think they were going to be able to afford childcare. I'm intrigued to see how the episodes all turn out!

Teeth on a roof... that does seem odd.
