I just won a $50 Amazon gift cert at work for a silly trivia game. Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!

The Bitches are a fount of Boston info. It all sounds a lot like what I'm looking for. Well, I'm definitely looking for a place that's serious about public transport, but it sounds like I could pick my area (given $$$ and info) and be good for that. But water, seasons, lots of cultural stuff--mmmmmmmmm. It sounds great!

I'm also applying for a few jobs in NYC, but I suspect the competition will be fierce. Well, actually the same could probably be said re: the Boston job, but at least I have a friend-of-a-friend connection on that one.

Congrats, Maidengurl!

Dayum, Aimee. Looks great!

Cashmere, are you and Christopher doing anything tonight, to celebrate your birthday?

Babysitter will be here in an hour and a half. We're going to dinner and a movie. I just have to decide on Corpse Bride or History of Violence. I want to see both, but I think A History of Violence my be more up Christopher's alley.

Sounds delightful. I'm originally from Alpena, MI, which is right on the northeastern coast of the lower peninsula of Michigan. [link]

So that's where Thunder Bay is! (Everything comes back to due South eventually.)

Kara just came running up to me to tell me she's all smooth and to make it stop. She's crying because I don't know what she means.

I think this day needs to end. Soon.

Mom says my sister and I cried the first time we saw him without his facial hair.

My DH shaved his beard once after I'd gone to bed. I woke up and saw a stranger in the bedroom and screamed. When I realized it was him, I started laughing b/c he looked goofy to me without the beard, and didn't stop giggling for a week.

Aimee, that haircut looks great!

Someone please tell the students who try to sneak food/drink into the forbidden zone of the library (by the rare books) that a trench coat is not the prop to use on a sunny, warm day.

I think my cold is turning into a sinus infection. I've got that whole was filling better, now starting to feel worse thing going on. With cough continually irritating my scratchy throat.

Ugh.

Manray is gone. Sniff. I only went the once, but it just seems so wrong for it to be *gone*. It was there this morning when I walked Toto, and now, it's just gone.

Gone.

It's the end of an era.

Deena, try putting some lotion on Kara's hands. My daughter has the same problem when fall and winter rolls around. The skin dries out and the feeling of the skin slithering against itself really upsets some kids.
