I have just accepted a position at a school in Thailand for next year.

Yay Fay!!!!

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

Walmart online doesn't appear to have the Due South box set.

Crud.

Well, Off to work.

See you later, folks.

My current mental project is to plan What We Will Take on the Plane. Our stuff is *supposed* to take 3-4 weeks to arrive, but I'm not holding my breath. I think we are authorized an extra bag per person so right now it's two adults, a baby, 9 checked bags, two roller bags, two backpacks, a diaper bag, a car seat, and two kennels containing a dog each. I have a prety good idea of what Joe and I need for a week or so of living out of suitcases (we did it in Brazil for 3 months) but I'm still working out what we will need for Ellie. I have no idea how we will get to the airport, although the government is paying so we may just get a shuttle.

Oh, and yay for Fay! Bangkok sounds really cool.

Congrats, Fay!

My lord, Steph. Good luck with all that.

Daniel, I found it at Best Buy, but even there, only the old, expensive set showed up on the computer.

Day off today, whoot!

Yay Fay! Thailand F2F would be nice.

Congrats, Fay! That's wonderful.

Day off today, whoot!

So very jealous.

Oh dear, Stephanie. That's insane making and makes me want to never have children. (Not totally true. I already had that moment when I tried to go to a movie with my sis and her two kids the last time she visited. It took probably three hours just to get everyone out the door of the house.)

I got in my bed last night a little before 8pm and didn't get back out of it until almost 6am. I possibly slept too much because now I'm just groggy. Like whoa.

Congratulations, Fay! I hope Thailand treats you right.

Congrats, Fay!

Stephanie, you have my sympathy and understanding. Living out of suitcases is orders of magnitude less tolerable with a baby.

Congrats, Fay! I hope you love it there!

Today is DH's birthday. He'd asked for, and received, the day off, but then the week got busy so he said he'd come in for a half day. His office arranged a party for him (cake and ice cream and stuff), but his boss first forgot that he'd given DH the day off, and then today forgot about the party and sent DH to a bunch of meetings all morning.

Resolution: kind of the worst of all choices. DH found out about it, but the party didn't happen by the time he left at 2:00.
