I would love to plan that into a day. And then stop when the alotted time was over.

Yeah, I just bet you would.

And then stop when the alotted time was over.

There's the magical part. Passive-aggressives of the World, someone should consider stopping the P-A behaviour on cue.

Okay, this x-post:

Cass:

Familes suck.

But not Mom of Cass, because she is going to be here in about three or hours hours and I've already been up for a whole hour. Normal sleep schedules! Right in the nick of time!

Now off to be passive aggressive and shitty to the rest of them.

Aw, it's good to have some schmoop to get my day started off right

Cracked me up for more than it probably should have.

bit of a meara

Vortex, IIRC, can wear purple bras and not have them show through.

Yep, it’s called “raisin” clearly, it does not match my skin, as I am not purple, but something about the tone is complementary, so that you can’t see it under anything. However, I think that the bastards at VS stopped making it.

it cost me 40 sterling (ie about $30, I guess?). They did a very nice job. More than that would strike me as very expensive.

Actually, you’ve got it a bit backwards, the pound is worth more than the dollar, so I think you’ll be fine. (your 40 quid is about $68) A really good cut in DC (which I think is comparable to SF prices) can cost $45-50.

Toto's trying to play with Bastet.

That never ends well.

It made me laugh right after I hit post, Kristin.

I just measured myself for the first time in something like a year. I knew my clothes weren't really fitting me, but I had no idea how bad it was. I am SO glad I didn't do that until after I'd started exercising because if I'd done it before I'd have crawed under the bed and stayed there, whimpering.

Awww, sj/tcg schmoop. One of my favorite flavors.

I love _t's tag: "I seem to be having this tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle."

At some point today, I need to try to do something about the paper explosion in my office. Right now I'm typing in the middle of a nest of paper, with piles all around the chair. I don't know where this stuff came from. Surely it wasn't me.

OMG SO TIRED.

I don't know how people, people with children, can do all that every day. EVERY DAY. CHILDREN. Wow. I am in awe. And can never, ever, ever imagine being able to do it.

Nephew, 3. Niece, 18 months. walking, running, screaming, laughing, crying, falling, whining. Lots of snot. I do love them, though, and had a great time with them.

But, DAYUM.

something about the tone is complementary

I think I'm way too yellow to find a complement for my skin tone, sadly.

Cracked me up for more than it probably should have.

So, the score on the family today:

• Mom of Cass - On her way here, bringing me stuff, and willing to do some fix-it stuff while she is here.
• Sister of Cass - Sending me the nephlet for a week in June/July because I am the most fabulous auntie. Also? Not going back to work after she has the new babies which is the best news of her pregnancy! Yay.
• Nephlet - Called me on his way to school just to say hi. See above, re: Best Auntie Evah.
• Racer Dad - Replied in email and I just booked his entire trip here except for the flight. Hotel, race tickets with pit passes and dinner for my birthday.
• StepMom - Sent this email: Hi Jen, You need to ask [jackass brother] and [sanctimonius sister-in-law] for their address. love, Mom The hell? I want their address to send a letter, not a bomb. Sheesh.
• Brother - Nothing. Emailed him at home, now work and will email sil next. This is just getting too complicated for an APOLOGY.

So I can't even get in touch with my brother, but my sister thinks I am fabulous enough to ship her child here. It's like Bizarro World. With coffee.
