Last night I actually got some work done on one of my papers. During 5th week! (technically.) Also, first paragraph of said paper involved both Aristotle and Oprah. Crazy, no? I might tone that one down a little before it gets to print...

And Microfsoft Word, I don't give you enough credit. Last night, by pure happenstance, I came upon your auto-format function that allows you to italicize text merely my putting it in between two underscores. My life has been forever changed! No more pausing mid-sentence to put the font sets on, wasting ALL of that time finegling to get my cursor/arrow alll the way to the top of the page. No, no. Just use the underscoring. And keep going.
Brilliant!

And now for the big news: I just finished writting up thank-you notes. And just so that we're clear on this one, let me restate this in a different way: I, Kat, who, in the entire 23 year course of my existence, have never been able to get details like that right, who never has been able to get thank-you notes out before at least a full month has passed from the day that marks the anniversary of my birth, and who will only remember to do so after frequent reminders from my very ettiquette-savvy mother, have finished my thank-you notes!

:::sniff::: I think I'm growing up.

You should be able to toggle italics on and off by hitting Ctrl+i. Same with bold (Ctrl+b) and underline (Ctrl+u). Love you!

(toggle? as a verb? really? huh...)

Is toggle really used that often as a noun? I didn't think so.

huh! Will you look at that?
We're BOTH right.

(Except that, as is apparently plain, my rightness came first...which does not necessarily negate BJ's rightness, but it could be said to render it a little less, you know, important.)

bahaha! what was that I said about growing up?
