Boyfriend has Peggle on his iPhone. It appears I may need to purchase an iPhone so I can play Peggle too.
Peggle!

How I Know I'm Marrying the Right Guy
After seeing my sad mood, he took me to see Every Little Step, even though he hates A Chorus Line.
I want to see this so badly. Was it good?

lilacs
When I am married and have a lovely house with a lovely yard, I will plant lilac trees all over it. Perhaps a fence made of lilac bushes, the thought of which makes me positively giddy. A neighbor’s tree has proven to be lilac, and every time I turn onto my block, I am instantly and overwhelmingly happy and calm. I stop at it and breathe it in every time I pass by. Lilacs remind me so much of my childhood, of my aunt’s house and picking rhubarb from the little patch next to her house and eating it raw dipped in little ramekins of sugar, of picking cherries from her tree and eating homemade cherry pie with a crust topped with too much granulated sugar, of the little flowers that looked like upside-down grapes that I was mesmerized by in our first home.

Apparently there is a need to research Chicago’s “squirrelly” squirrels:
A coalition of environmental researchers is asking Chicago-area residents to record sightings of squirrels on a Web site, www.projectsquirrel.org, to gain a better understanding of our furry urban neighbors.
Led by the Chicago Academy of Sciences, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and the University of Illinois at Chicago, the multiyear project is gathering squirrel data to fill in scientific gaps about how food and other resources are distributed in the wild, about squirrel population and about how humans affect the natural habitat, said Steve Sullivan, an urban ecologist at the Notebaert museum….
“Squirrels are squirrelly and there’s a lot we don’t know about how they interact in the world,” Sullivan said. “This project is about trying to look at the world through their eyes.”
It’s true. Chicago’s squirrel population is extremely squirrelly.
I have a LOT to report on this issue.
