{{sj}} and {{vw}} Vibing many fewer hospital/doctor visits in your futures!

I actually get to play at home a little today. The bosses closed the factory down and sent us all home to play in the snow. I counted six cars and one semi in the ditch on the way home. I, however, made it save and sound despite the fact I was very afraid I would get stuck in some of the deeper snow on the side streets. As it was, I did a graceful sideways slide into a parking space in the lot outside my condo. And, voila, I'm home! Perhaps I'll go out later and make a snow angel.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who vibed/said a prayer for my friend Tim's brother. He passed away this morning surrounded by his family with his favorite music playing to help ease him into his new world. Tim thanks everyone for their kind thoughts.

So, they're not going to hire my Minion to replace my Good!Coworker, even though Minion has been here, doing the job for four months. LA!Boss overrode my New!Boss who wanted to hire my Minion.

Is that clear as mud?

Feh. LA!Boss is why my previous Good!Boss left, and now I think New!Boss is thinking maybe that's a damn good idea too, since she can't even hire her own staff in her own freakin' office.

I am sorry for my Minion who was getting mentally adjusted to the notion of being financially stable.

Not a one of my cats would ever have put up with such a thing. In my experience, cats don’t travel well at all.

Harvey has issues with motion sickness, but otherwise he would be of the right temperment to go places with us. While on the road from Arizona to Minnesota this summer, during rest stops we would take the cats out of the minivan on leashes and let them walk around in the grass. Harvey was always much more interested in exploring where he was. The night we stayed over in a motel, in the small hours of the morning, he woke me up so I could take him for a nice long walk outside.

At the Renaissance Festival, pets on short leashes (who remembered to bring their rabes certificates) were welcome. I thought it was a shame that Harvey could not enjoy such a long drive, as I believe he would have thoroughly enjoyed all the interesting sights and sounds. And turkey legs.

ETA: more ~ma for vw. Really wish I could make the stupid asthma go away.

OMG I just dowloaded a version of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" that is just the vocal track...

Hopefully not the one we heard on ANGEL.

Lots and lots of general health-ma to all that needs it.

They look so peaceful, don't they?

Until Owen steals her binky, rips off her blanket and tries to sit on her.

It's the demon eyes that totally give him away.

Cashmere, you made me snort. Welcome to the jungle. Your biggest job now is making sure Owen doesn't manage to kill Olivia before he's old enough to be sentenced to prison for it.

Pretty babies!

I'm a little bit of a nervous wreck right now because Saturday is the baby shower I'm hosting for my best friend. I think I have a handle on the food and drink but there are approximately a brazillion people coming. Where will I put them all?!??!

And why am I such a control freak that I couldn't have taken my friend's friend with a much larger house up on her offer to host the party?

I know it will all turn out fine but EEEEEEE

lisah, if your guests are anything like anyone who has ever come to a party at my house, they'll all end up in the kitchen, no matter how small it is, nor how large their number.

Welcome to the jungle. Your biggest job now is making sure Owen doesn't manage to kill Olivia before he's old enough to be sentenced to prison for it.

It's a whole new level of fun.

lisah, good luck with the shower. I like cozy parties. It'll be fine.
