So, we had dinner and drinks with Tom's boss and his very glamorous and sophisticated wife, and I am trying not to feel stupid and unclassy and plain. It's all so hard in hindsight. You never remember the witty stuff you said.

Aimee, Ima join you in the blah corner. We will blind the world with blah. Or something that starts with B. Bore? Bedevil? Bemuse?

Glad to hear that backs are feeling better.

Timelies!

I am still completely floating about getting the job finally.

Details are:
90 days through my agency chick, of which more than 30 have been fulfilled, so I change paychecks in mid-July but I have been working there a month already and have been taking on my new responsibilities for the past few weeks.

Then hired at the salary I almost wanted with a six-month review where, so long as I am still as fabulous as they already know I am, I get brought up to the salary I do actually want.

I have petted the Letter of Intent rather a lot. Though I haven't been calling it George. I should call it anti-Bill cause it will help slay them.

We saw Serenity last night (in the black leather pants of eeeeeeeeevil thanks Brenda! ). And briefly met Heather and Mr. Heather (they were sitting right in front of us and also parked next to us, which is most amusing because I was looking for them the whole long time we were waiting in line and I needn't have bothered since the 'verse smooshed us together on its own.)

I am at the library, borrowing one of their Internets, and a little clock counting down time is making me feel like I Have To Say Everything Right Now!

Basically, thank you all for the ~ma and support. This last year has been so many kinds of horrible for me and it feels like a major weight has been lifted. I just feel so much better than I have in months and months and months...

You all have really helped me get from there to here, and you helped me survive there. I can't even explain how much I appreciate both of those things.

Miss Nora, you are SO not unclassy and plain. As a matter of fact, I'd describe you quite the opposite.

I've been to the quilt store (where I was VERY good and only bought what I need for this quilt. I got a fabulous confetti fabric as the accent and a few more fat quarters.

I also had to take Rachie to the vet. Poor guy is having an ultra sound on his heart today. There's something wrong. Here's to hoping it's nothing too serious.

ETA:

This is the accent fabric I got (except that background is a light purple, rather than vanilla): [link]

Congratulations, Cass! I'm glad you're doing so well!

So glad things are getting better Cassieleatherpants, but I'ma gonna snuggle you anyway.

Yay, Cass, on all counts!

Nora, as witty as you always are here, it's unimaginable that you could have gona a whole evening without being witty even if you tried.

Blahness, begone!

Pretty fabric, vw. I think I've seen it somewhere recently.

This isn't me, but I suspect it might be ita. [link]

That looks rather like Teppy's pimp coat. Not that that's a bad thing.

Ooh, pretty. Good price. I already have two pink long coats that I hardly ever get a chance to wear, better not get another.
