Happy St Patrick's Day to all!

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on gifts for my little nephew. I ended up finding a toy ATM machine. I also gave him some cash to put in it. It does use batteries, but it isn't mindless, and he seemed to like it. It even has an ATM card. Sure beats candy cigarettes, I guess! Another nephew, this one age 3, has a party this weekend. Sigh.

The reason for the title of this entry is that the Ungrateful Child has found a roommate, an apartment, and is moving at the end of the month. I am not losing a daughter, I am gaining a bedroom, bathroom, and full use of my own phone. I think I will miss her a little, but she won't be that far away. We get along better at a slight distance.

A chuckle for everyone: Earlier I was chatting online with someone, and had to get ready to go walking. I just unplugged the laptop, and took it upstairs with me while I got ready. We managed to continue the conversation without interruption and I was rather proud of my multi-tasking abilities. I put away a load of laundry, changed my shoes and socks, took out my pontail, brushed my hair, and flossed my teeth, brushed my teeth...with the blue toothbrush. Mine is yellow. Ewwwww.
