<p>edt: laughing at my typo above. Soap made from “goatsmile.” Very chi-chi!</p>
<p>When you see a goat smile, it’s time to stop.</p>
<p>mantori- I hope your brain is addled by something more enjoyable than Nyquil!</p>
<p>Ah. Edible soap. Some of these all natual products, you don’t know whether to rub them on your body or eat them. I guess your dog didn’t know either. ;)</p>
<p>Yesterday I opened the paper to the columnist that normally does recipes. It is understandable that I misread the headline touting “foaming soap” as “foaming soup.” I was quite startled.</p>
<p>Almost forgot why I came here…</p>
<p>Son’s school photo came out great…except for the visibly wrinkled shirt. He kept it in his backpack instead of on his body. I shudda known…I should have known. </p>
<p><em>beats head against wall</em></p>
<p>I got 2 bars of that . Goat them at a neighborhood garage sale, at end of day. 2 fer 25¢, discounted from 2 fer $1. I goat, billy-goated. Smells like him too.</p>
<p>Alas, mafool, the Nyquil wore off long ago, yet the brain remains addled. The smiling goat says hi. Barkeep, slide me a shot of Bailey’s; it’s time for dessert!</p>
<p>how early does the bar open?? think i will need fortification this weekend, so keep them coming… son will be home for weekend and i am sure by the end of it i will be deemed the “mother from hell”! son goes to a high school 6 hours away and wont be home after this weekend until T’giving so, although he has had the apps, forms, essays prompts for weeks now, only the ones that required no essays are done. when i have talked to him and asked if recommendation requests have been distributed or if he has asked gc to send transcripts, the answer is not yet… so this weekend is college apps done or die! LOL.</p>

<p>oops somehow it posted twice when i edited</p>
<p>Is the sun over the yardarm yet?</p>
<p>This weekend is crunch time for most of the apps. Even though they’re online, it’s still “paperwork.” We don’t like paperwork. Aarrgh.</p>
<p>Plus S doesn’t REALLY know what he wants to major in. Maybe by next weekend he will?</p>
<p>mom music, how bout we start with mimosas, switch over to white wine for the afternoon, perhaps something stiffer as the tension rises and follow with an irish/spanish coffee when we are about to collapse?? maybe i wont be as critical of essays through a drunken stupor??</p>
<p>A toast (and make that a double) to all moms and dads in the eye of the apps hurricane. My heart is with you. </p>
<p>Bon courage!</p>
<p>Yes, let me just swoop in from my no apps world to tell you that my son did not write his main application essay until Christmas vacation. He got the idea for it as we drove down to Santa Barbara. And I believe that essay was one of the main reasons for his on the whole highly successful application process. Just sayin’, late and good is better than early and bad.</p>
<p>Nobody appreciates my sense of humor. Whaddya got that’s good for drowning sorrows?</p>
<p>Just checking in; #12283 made me laugh out loud!, I get your sense of humor mantori ;)</p>
<p>I need something festive, barkeep; after nearly 21 years we are minivan free! Got the first when baby #3 was 2 months old!</p>
<p>Cheers, mominva, your drink’s on me! I think the appropriate drink for becoming minivan-free is a blue motorcycle. Bartender, a blue motorcycle for the lady with the sophisticated sense of humor!</p>
<p>Smiling Goat: great name for a pub, a drink (or part of the Kama Sutra)</p>
<p>I’m trying so hard to picture that, while simultaneously trying so hard not to picture that.</p>
<p>Goat’s margaritas for the Bruins (3). Regular margaritas with orange and lime slices for the Duck fans (42).</p>
<p>LP, Sadly I think you mean the Golden Bears. :(</p>
<p>Crying in our beer here.</p>
