Friends and family can call me Val, but if you've just met me, don't you dare cut it down without asking!
I've learned to be nice about it when people accidentally leave the E off my first name or inject a second b into my surname, but it drives me bugfuck crazy when anyone outside of
specific
family members call me "Annie." I am only called "Annie" in those parts of the family where there is another Anne (e.g., my stepmother).
Second thing, related? This will be going out live from my living room. I could use a couple more people here for this.
Too bad I'm heading back to Alaska on Saturday, 'cause this sure sounds like fun. Is it wrong that I'm kind of hoping to get stuck here? Not that I think it's likely. If it were the Juneau end, there would be a real chance of getting weathered in.
sj, that’s awesome, especially if the teacups were never mentioned on the first day. Fantabulously thoughtful and sweet.
No, it was never mentioned. He just noticed I owned a lot of teacups.
So. Cool.
Yep, sj, he's a keeper.
Someday soon Music Store Guy will realize his undying love for me and then all will be right with the world!!
Happy Birthday Mr. Emma's Father
-t, congratulations!!!
sj, what a sweetie. What is the teacup like? How goes the apartment hunt?
Congratulations, -t!
I took Annabel for her 9-month checkup today. She's in wonderful shape, and the nurse was very impressed with her crawling and general motor skills. And the pede assured me I'm doing fine on feeding her, and said I could try those cups with the built-in straws if she just doesn't like sippy cups. Also that now that she's 9 months, we can start feeding her all the non-chokey non-allergenic (i.e. no egg whites or nuts for now) stuff we eat so she can start getting used to the taste and texture of adult food.
Oh, and I exercised today, for the first time in forever. I just did my very easiest bellydance workout tape and realized how horribly out of shape I am, but I feel good now. Go team endorphins!
Woo Hoo, -t!!!! That's fabulous! Now, get a cush job at an insurance company post haste. *g*
If you thought I was vain just for me, I am impossible to live with when it come to Emeline. ita put it right: I am beside myself.
Aimee, you will never get tired of hearing how gorgeous Emeline is. And we will never get tired of telling you how gorgeous she is. Needless to say, this arrangement works for everyone. Because really, drop. dead. beautiful. baby.
Emeline is soo beautiful!!
Happy Birthday MM!!!
Congrats -t
And I got my hair cut today. I really like the cut but it screams out for color so after I get paid I'm going to figure out something interesting.
