I'm looking forward to driving home and rest tomorrow. Tody we hit the fancy super market and bought some goodies. then we saw Sandra Lee from foodnetwork will be there next week So when we went home and had lunch (watching the foodnetwork), I said Dad mom and I found something you'll really want to do at the market district. He looks at us and says, 'Sandra Lee is going ot be there!' How the hell did you know? I guessed. Good guess dad.

Saw something in Popular Science that makes me think restarting our MLT (medical lab tech) program isn't worth the time. They've freaking perfected a tricorder. One drop of blood and this hand held device that doesn't require much in the way of training can test for a myriad of STDs. It's only a matter of time before it makes labs go the way of the doo doo, which is their intent (well it's designed for poor countries without resources but you know what will happen)

It's been literally freaking weeks since i've been able to concentrate to write. this is getting old.

Hmm well a chunk of mine are YA characters and no they are not kids with kids. Looking at the adults, Wine is the default foster father for his much younger sister, his sister's son and a distant cousin but Merryn, Tarran and Adao are teens heading into their 20's . I guess that would be the same for Vito and Donnalisa Dragonetti, Tazia's werewolf parents. So at the moment I really don't have small children. From fanfic however, I do know I find writing kids hard.

Every time I mention kids to my charas, they give me big eyes and flee like rabbits with a fox after them.

Wine wants one. Athalia wants one. the others are so yuong they do not but Tarran's gonna GET One so I guess i wasn't entirely correct in my above statement

I can because I have tiny Mr. Passive Aggressive in my head. And he takes up every free space he can. While curled up in a tiny little ball.

Woo, the tricorder-thingie sounds AWESOME! So far, though, it sounds as if it only analyzes blood, so there may be some use for labs for a while yet. :-)

yes still have use for labs but honestly within 20 years I doubt we'll have much need of them.
