anyone know people who work for Target, ToysRUs/BabiesRUs, GameStop?

I have a friend who worked for Target in NC until sometime last year. What do you need to know?

I made an appointment to get my hair cut next week. I haven't cut it since freaking July! Wonder what I should do with it? I miss bangs but then again I love being able to pull it all back.

Sorry you're not feeling well, sara! My coworker caught a bug on vacation too but that's nothing compared to the concussion she gave herself on vacation. Poor thing. She was at a resort in Mexico with her daughter and she did it on the first day and the doctors told her to stay out of the sun and not drink. Bummer!

ION, I hate the twofer dose of depression sick + sick meds gives me. Every.damn.thing is making me cry. Got MK's bill the other day, called this eve, his ashes aren't back yet, and I am obsessing about that, a stupid coked-up squirrel in my brain. It's all just symbolic, I don't need them. But I want a close to this chapter.

Feh. OK, need to go look at geeky baby onesies and sarcastic baby books for a baby shower next month. That's a better focal point.

(I'm really whiney when the least bit sick. I apologize in advance. Or during. Or something.)

I love bangs on you! I saved the picture when you got Bettie Page bangs.

I love bangs but I love not bangs too! Bangs are kind of a pain to keep up and my hair lady only works 3 days a week (on the other side of town) these days so I need to take that into consideration.

Bob and I exchanged gifts tonight, sara, and one of the things he got me was a gift certificate to get the memorial tattoo of Frank I've been wanting. Now I just need to get it designed. He was such a comic little guy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am a bad daughter. Mom called frustrated with / venting about local politics and I stealth put her on speaker with Puppycat. They were both babbling and bitching and - from my perspective - this was hilarious.

Aww. I'm not inclined to get inked, but as I've put away, washed, rearranged, watched the remaining 3 behaviors' subtly change in the post-MK era, I've found myself wanting the remains back more and more.

Grief is such a funny thing. I've been able to calmly take about just about all of it. Except the last few minutes. They were filled with certainty and it was good, but if I even start to go there, it's as bad as I was in the moment. But, god, made me love Mt Washington all the more. They were so awesome. (And after hearing my SIL's horrific experience around the same time with her cat, OMG, SO MUCH BETTER. My brother has sworn that when it's their dog's time, he's signing out the ketamine from the lab and doing it himself.)
