'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yikes! That sounds a little too exciting, erika. Even if it is possible story fodder.
As it is, I had to drive on the freeway today, which, of late, has become an interesting endeavor. Something like five or six people shot while driving on LA freeways in the last two weeks. Just in case that hasn't made the national news.
AAARRRGGGHHH.
My interviewer had to "step out". They want me to call back in 20 minutes.
AAARRRGGGHHHH.
And of course, he was the kind of patrolman they don't make anymore and spent 22 years as a uniform...has a kid on the force, you know.We can't leave our street right now...it's all cordoned. The actual scene was a few miles away.
erika! How scary!
Owen is a total cutiehead.
We just got back from the monthly Costco run, where Annabel made herself charming to all and sundry. Someone asked where in the store he could get one of those, and I warned him that she was very expensive.
'Course, if you could get babies at Costco, they'd come as quadruplets and sextuplets only, so I'll pass.
Yeah, it was. When the helicopters were overhead. Now, it's just sad.Still not opening my door wide and everything because I'm gonna be alone and I never open the door when I am alone in here.They must be scary people, though, because either:1. They did sonething so heinous they did not want anyone to use the stolen car to catch them. or 2. They have so little thought for life they'd kill a father over a stolen car. Or (shudder) both. But I'm not worried, physically. Hey, I (almost) died twice. IcompletelyOther News, insent Hecubus.
Eeek Erika.
Owen is so cute.
We had this awards thing to go to tonight for Brendon Jr. because of his awesome 7th grade SAT scores. It was at one of the local universities. Anyway, on the stage were the university president and his wife, and their 3 month old child. During the ceremony wifey quietly slipped off to the side off stage to feed the baby. Yes, I thought of the nursing stories. The speaker tied in our hopes for the future and our children and so forth in the address to explain the infant on stage. Still it was sweet. Also, kinda proud of my kid. He was the only one from his school there.
Laura, that's excellent. And yay for you and Brendon, Jr.!
Ima meara and ramble... Just a warning.
I just called my mom to have her talk me through some yoga stretches. I don't think she expected the cat to sit on my head. Her "zen voice" burst into laughter.
I think puppycat just saw me on the ground and thought it was a prime opportunity to be petted and "oops, I fall down" just with the falling down coming first. And on my head.
Still, I am hugely in favor of phone yoga tonight cause my back is feeling oodles better.
The interview is my favorite part of the transaction. Honestly.Beej is the anti-me.
Though in my current job hunt, I skipped all of that and just started working for them and they thought that maybe they should hire me. I still haven't heard anything but I will do that scary Talking About It thing tomorrow.
Fingers, as always, are crossed.
I think it is an excellent match and that is a huge part of it for me. The best set of job specs in the wrong environment or with the wrong people just never works for me. This is an intriguing set of vague job specs with pretty word pictures of several hats I can model, but more important, I like the people and the feel of it.
I've been MIA so long, I've been worried someone might take my tiara.Would not! I just have one that is quite similar is all...
I'm very sad because the tiara Cass gave me last year has tarnished. I think I can probably polish it up, but I'm not sure what to use. I have to fix it before a week from Saturday, though!Oh crap. Huh. Well I do have its sibling (see above re: very similar) if you need an emergency shipment... Guess I bought a cheap tiara if it got all tarnished. Bad Cass, no nookie.
At worst, they'll just duct tape people.As if Laura could raise the kind of child that would duct... Look! Penguins!
to be used towards the iPodYay bug!
The shower head is now officially my bitch.t millions of women nod in agreement
Owen is still dubious about the whole bicycle helmet thing.Guuuuuhhhhhhh...
Calm~ma Kristin... And interview~ma when it happens.
Yay Brendon, Jr. too.
I am really twitching hearing/reading about erika's suspects. I might have had a bad experience in Tempe. And an FBI file as a lovely parting gift.
To clarify, *I* didn't rob the damn banks or know anything about it.
Skipping and skimming a bunch.
Ow. Throat hurts. I went to the doctor yesterday, and she said it was fine, but hurting this badly isn't "fine." I've got an appointment for a physical tomorrow, so I'll ask the doctor then to look at it.
I'm supposed to give a 30-45 minute presentation on Thursday. Right now, I can barely get through a sentence. I'm not sure how well this is going to work.
(Sorry. It seems like, lately, the only times I have time to come in here are when the doctor's told me to rest. Don't really want to seem all kvetchy.)
Hmm, I lulled the thread into a zen state...
Off to take a bath. Fire pretty, hot water awesome...
Deena, I was having dinner with a friend last weekend and there was a guy / kid / guy / kid / guy next to us that so looked like Nick. He was just darling. I thought of you. Then I thought how I shouldn't be thinking that a friend's son is hot. Then I got distracted by dinner. But I thought of you!
