When the ob was going to circumcize Ben, she came by to see him, and me, in my room, first. I said something along the lines of, "Oh, I feel bad. It's so little." She was French, wee, and very funny. She whipped open his diaper as she asked, "Is it?" Then said, "Tch. Oh, no. He's well endowed."
I think I just sat there with my eyes agog, so she went on to explain that sometimes little boys are too small for circumcision when they're new.
Teppy quit flipping out and just cover your arms and toes.
You oppressor!
Oh, wait. I asked to be oppressed.
Carry on.
So, I need, rather desperately, to clean my house. Or at least, organize it--some stuff is just "put away all the clean clothes", and some is "vacuum, dust". But instead I'm thinking of going to bed early. The sleep would be good, since I wont' get much this weekend (Great Big Drag King Show!). But the cleaning, important. Not only do I need to be able to find things, smonster (and i think a friend of hers? Not sure if he's staying with me too...) will be here Saturday. Hmmmm.
Hmm. Though there is some crazy man outside shouting and screaming (like, every ten seconds or so, "AUUUUUUGGGGGH!!"). This might make sleeping unlikely. It's seriously annoying.
Just a hello and cherrio on the occasion of a new thread.
I just got the final word from Grandma E -- she's moving Saturday!
Which means I move in next weekend!
Woo!
Yay, moving!
Hey there, JC!
I am SO GLAD I had a girl. None of that pesky to cut or not to cut debate. (But she can't get her ears pierced until she's 12, damn it.)
Plei or Jilli,
Which is closer to you, the Warwick Seattle Hotel 401 Lenora Street, or
Sorrento Hotel, 900 Madison Street (at Terry)
billytea! What a lovely and wonderful update.
I feel like this is really bad. I could use some perspective.
This is how it pings me too, Jen. Unfortunately (but I have to disclaimer: the reality is that my divorce didn't do a lot for my sense of trust and I do count sins of omission.) I do hope I am wrong though.
My problem is that he actively engaged in pretense after [clip] he agreed be extra-super-sensitive to things that could appear to be violations of trust.
ooooof...
Having been in a kinda similar place? I would tell him why this is so hurtful, listen to him, and try to forgive this once if you can. At least I hope I would. I want to think I could.

IOmememeN, in a production meeting today, it was mentioned that the company wanted to hire me as a Voice of Reason. Um, Jilli???
I think the vibes are working.
At least there is the hint of a letter of intent tomorrow. Of course, I still have to actually talk to the CFO but according to everyone that has talked between us? It's going to be a good thing.
Basically the whispers are that the company wants me, is willing to pay the placement fee after all and just wants to do so in installments. So I would be on a contract for another two months (but, hey!, contracty goodness instead of day-to-day) and then hired.
I'm not breathing the employed sigh of relief just yet, but I am fantasizing rampantly about it.
