Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And having kids makes you lose your mind, obviously.

I was about to post this on Facebook, but realized too many relatives: I just walked home with my stockings in my purse for the first time in a loooong time. I got a massage after work and it's warm out, so why not.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Erin, let me recommend never buying jeans that are at all loose, unless you really want them that way, because they always loosen up as you wear them. Just saying.

S says ON jeans shrink about 1/8" when washed, so they should be perfect. And they're not loose, loose; just comfortable. Not like "I can fit into size 12's if I don't eat or move or breathe" -- I just...fit.

Haven't worn a size 12 since...1985?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

that site was NOT terrifying, but also not the Nicest place, because I am not there and ergo something something.

the wine is helping somewhat. I should probably go watch a CM though, my one true feel better remedy.

OK, so I am hoping to have internet at home by Friday. And that I'm capable of setting it up myself, which I think I am. I think I still need a router, though. Crap.

In great news, one of the local library branches is less than a mile from my house! And it has a neon "OPEN" sign, which just makes me laugh. It's kind of cheerful.

Aaaand, they just announced closing in 17 minutes. I hate it when people dawdle when a place is closing, so I will leave in a couple.

I miss the internet. Or, I miss it on something bigger than my phone.

Hah--except currently most of my jeans get too big during the day while I'm wearing them, so I bought a pair that were slightly too tight and...they don't loosen at all. Ouch.

Also, I didn't get any real work done today, and want to hide under a rock somewhere. And don't want to fly to Phoenix tomorrow.

(ETA: Which is to say "Grump grump grump whine and grump all about me". Sorry. In such a mood right now...)

sarameg, I am so sorry about Mister Kitty. You gave him a good life.

Ouch indeed! Grumpy is OK.

In good news, I did (after sending a somewhat belated "oh, crap, I should do this!" email thank-you) get an email requesting available dates for an in-person interview. I'm a little "ack", as I'm pretty busy and out of town a lot the next couple weeks, but I offered a couple days.

Of course, then I'd REALLY have to get all my work done, if I was leaving. Eek.

not your mom's socks.

Sarameg, I'm so sorry for your loss.
