Saturday Quotes

I spent today fighting off an ugly headache that finally went away ten hours and impressive amounts of Tylenol and Excedrin Migraine later. I read one of my Christmas gift books, the new Deaver book, and enjoyed just recovering quietly. Steve worked much of today. Kaylee, who should have by all rights been insistent on having a playmate all day, instead answered her emails (on her own, by the way), played an online Disney fairy game, and played quietly in her room with her Christmas presents. When she did come out to talk, she was quiet and patient. Apparently she has good mommy sensors. :) I am planning on taking her to a kid place tomorrow in celebration of her last day of Christmas break...

For now I'm just watching the Colts in the playoff game (doing well at the top of the 4th quarter here anyway), and I'll leave with a batch of quotes that came in over Christmas break. I know it's a lot of them, but I don't really do it for any reason but that it's a good place for me to store and be able to go back and find quotes I liked, and like anything else I post here, I won't force anyone to read it. ;) On to the quotes...
