Spike ,'Sleeper'
[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.
Steph, just have a coworker who's playing Kenny G on repeat. All day. Again. That'll switch the melancholy to rage right quick.
(Usually, I'd have said something by now, but her aunt died unexpectedly last week and I figure she needs something to keep her spirits up.)
Turn on the damned light, Teppy. Okay, you can't actually do that, because you're at work. But yeah, it's time.
Suzi/Maidengurl/Lexine/Maxine, I'm glad your mom is through surgery all right. I hope her throat is feeling better, soon.
Now I'm earwormed with Lucy Kaplansky ("Turn the Lights Back On"). But it's a kickass song, so that's all right.
It has been raining FOREVER. On the up side, the Chrysler Building (which is what my desk window looks out onto) looks AWESOME in this weather.
Mmmmm...the Chrysler Building. My favorite NYC skyscraper.
You'd love my view then -- up on the 29th floor, we're exactly face-to-face with the top.
Julia was building the Chrysler Building yesterday, with blocks. I am not quite sure how she knows about the Chrysler Building. She just does. It was still funny to hear a six year old who has never been to NY ask, "Mommy, how do you like my Chrysler Building?"
She may have a secret life in which she lives in the Big Apple, though. On 9/11/01, when the kids saw the footage of the WTC, she thought there was a fire and that we had to leave the house, because there was fire on TV (she wasn't quite 3 years old). When I explained that it was far away, and she asked where, I told her, and she said, quite indignantly, "New York Titty?!?" in a how-dare-they way.
Cashmere - happy birthday !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASHMERE!!!
Talked with Mom briefly this morning and she sounded good. Then she got attacked by a nurse wanting to do vitals and she said she would call me back.
I was actually not looking for another extension from the teacher. I was willing to skip the assignment and take the lower grade - but nooooooo, now I HAVE to do it since he has been so nice. Grrrrr.
I just found out that my assistant has not been released to come back to work. It will be at least another month (again, she has been out since March 24th). The person is who down from Boise helping me this week will not be available next month as she will be off on a two week vacation.
I need a big rock. Not sure if I want to throw it at someone or just hide under it.
Cindy, you clearly need to drop everything and move to New York. Your daughter's best interest demands it.
Well, clearly, it's her old stomping grounds, but I am so very Boston. I would love to take some nice vacations to NYC, and really get to know the city, but I'm far more likely to move to Maine, or somewhere in the Canadian maritimes than New York.
