I've decided (mostly at random) to name my new kitten after whoever wins the gold in the balance beam event. That's not until Aug. 7 apparently, so until then she's She Who Shall Be Nameless. She's a tiny demon who waits for me to open my embroidery floss box so she can carry one and run off and shred it.

I'm extremely grouchy from the effects of my diet - and I'm not losing weight.

My son hasn't been sleeping. Last night he stayed awake all night.
