I need to try to not be irritated with my best friend. Three times this weekend we made plans. The first time we were going to grab a beer when he got out of work (his idea). When I called, he said "Sure, just let me call (girlfriend)." When he called back, he said he'd take a raincheck. Second night, I decided not to wait for them and went out with my roomie instead, which was fortunate, as they never called. Sunday night, they said to meet them at the bar for the Sox game. After things died down with my family, I thought a beer sounded not bad, so I said ok. When I got there, they weren't there. I called and he said they'd changed their minds.
I'm used to not seeing much of him since he moved in with the girlfriend, so I wouldn't have minded had he not been the one calling ME to see if I wanted to come out. I'm being childish but I don't care. Now he wants to make plans for next weekend and I don't even feel like it.

Also, Fred explained a lot better than I did.
Timelies All!
Wow, Trudes, that blows. But hey, afternoon off? Yeah, all I got. Smooth(er) Transition-ma.

TRW (or whatever)-ma to Sophia.
Gonna wander over and try to play a little catch up in Natter ('course took me most of the morning to catch up here). See ya in a bit.
Speaking of babies, has anyone seen the baby name wizard? [link] It shows how popular names have been over the past 100 years. Kind of addictive.
Wow, Lilybean is going to have some classmates in common. That name has spiked off the charts. "Emmett" as a name was completely dead until it resurged in the last decade.
I noticed "Leif" had a brief surge (if you call about 40 in every million a surge) in the late 70s and 80s and is now gone.
That's irritating, Lilty. I'd be tempted to blow him off, or make snide comments along the "are these for real plans or are you just practicing?" lines.
Now I don't feel quite so silly for having all my money in a checking acount. Or two checking accounts. But no money market involved.
No names starting with Emeline have been in the top 1000 in any decade.
BWAH.
Of course, Emma is just a billion.
HATE BANKS WANT TO GO BACK TO ONLY DEALING IN CASH.
Barter. I'll hem your dress, you cut my hair, he'll change the oil, she'll bake bread, we'll all be clothed, groomed, transported and fed.
I am at work.
I thought you all might like the update.
Also, I have a Mint Mocha Chip frozen thingy from Starbucks. It is of the yum.
