And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Do people have NYC hotel recommendations?

I usually stay in The Gem Hotel in Chelsea.

What makes for a fun morning at work? When one of the primary servers that runs your international business decides to hang and doesn't want to reboot properly! Our customers can't access things, and we can't access the tools to fix things! It's back up now, but it's fix the fallout time.

In addition to a hotel recommendation, I am also looking for a salon in Chapel Hill to send my 6 year old daughter and 20 year old niece to get their hair done for a wedding in April. I will go looking blah, but my kid needs to be awesome (because they didn't make her a flower girl).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hotel Monaco in Midtown is good, with amazing views from the roof, and right in the shadow of the Empire State Building. The BF and I really enjoyed The Sanctuary, at 46th and 7th, but the rooms were small. Might not be good for a family.

I'm out of spoons. Too much going on with work, and not-great news from a major contract we won, so we're on damage control to eliminate most of the fallout.

I didn't meara properly, so much ~ma and love to everyone who needs it. sara and 'suela, be kind to yourselves especially.

I need a vacation desperately. Who's in for a long weekend somewhere?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I need a vacation desperately. Who's in for a long weekend somewhere?

If I hadn't just gotten back from Colorado (which wasn't a vacation by any means), I would be SO IN. But I'll have to vacation vicariously.

I am just flat-out EXHAUSTED. My brain (and/or body) got me through last week in Colorado so well. I didn't lose it emotionally, I didn't get sick (I get colds when I travel a LOT), I didn't get a migraine from the stress, and my back didn't even object to sleeping on a couch all week, which is fucking amazing.

But yesterday and today, I am so exhausted I feel like I could keep sleeping straight through until Saturday. And my head hurts (although our weather just made a BIG change, so that's at least part of the problem).

Plus, this coming Saturday is the memorial service here in Cincy for Tim's ex's daughter, so that's one more emotionally heavy thing coming our way. I am just DONE. So totally done.

The rest of the year had better be an endless parade of unicorns and puppies.

Unicorns and puppies to you, Steph. You totally deserve them.
