Nilly, I am honored to be in spirit with you.

It's a weird question, right? I think I don't get the point.

I got my first check for the book, BTW. I forgot to bring it to work, I wanted to make a nice copy of it for framing.

---

msbelle, I'm honored too. So we're in the same corner again. Which is a very nice corner to be in.

I wanted to make a nice copy of it for framing.

Oh, that's an adorable idea. Are you going to spend it on something fun for yourself, or be all practical?

Some of it is going toward time off to finish it at the end of the month. The rest goes into savings. And maybe a teeny bit toward nephew spoilage.

What Nilly and msbelle said.

Sophia, I'm with the people who think you should swing by the old apartment. That said:

It turns out that it is being delivered to my old apartment! So the t-mobile lady said that all I can do is wait and see if the phone is shipped back to them, and then it can be shipped to me! So I ask what happens if the person chooses not to ship it back, and basically I will have to pay for the phone, extend my contract two year, and have no phone.

Which is my fault, becuase I confirmed the order-- I just assumed they had the right address because my bills come to the right address.

What? No. If you can't get the phone from the new people in the apt. please do not accept this. Go up the food chain at T-mobile. This is utter nonsense. You're the customer. You made an error; it's not like you killed someone.

Given that she's an old friend, is there any chance it's a joke, or a reference to something? Because saying "still" like that seems really peculiar if she's referring to 14+ years ago.

Or was she not that kind of friend?

---

It seems so frivolous

Less frivolous would be paying for me to have a massage and a body wrap, but if you're going to be All About The Cowgirl, so be it.

Rescheduled meeting ran over two hours. Perhaps I can get some work done between now and heading out for training this afternoon (my boss will be in the same session, so little goofing off may be possible). However, I still need to eat and nap or bad things will happen.

Allyson, just send her the Sci Fi article. Unless she's great friends with you, that's hella rude. Did she happen to deprecate herself in the e-mail?

---

Maybe she's not single, and not childless, and occasionally tries to live vicariously through her friends who are single and child free. Not that I would know anything about that. At all.

---

Did she happen to deprecate herself in the e-mail?

I figured the next line was something like, "Because Reginald and I just welcomed our third little angel."

---

It isn't really peculiar, Strega. I'm one of the few girls from my high school who didn't push out a kid within two years of graduation, so it probably seems off to her, maybe even a pity, that I don't have kids and a husband.
