Nora, I'm glad you've got the basement issue mostly cleared up. Nothing can stand in the way of my hugging you! mwah hah, etc.

I'm supposed to be finishing up work. Am instead fussing over packing and what to wear to Prom. It'll be very not formal, but comfy and pretty (I hope) and I guess that's good enough.

Of course it's "good enough", Deena. Any outfit with you in it will be prom-worthy.

Nora, so glad you were able to get things taken care of before leaving town. Small blessings.

I want to be at home. Packing or not. I just don't want to be at work today.

Greg asked Kara and Aidan, Nick (I do that to his face, too) at dinner last night, to go around and talk about why I'm an exceptional mom. Until then, I didn't know I could get stairwell needy with family.

Edited to deleted the overwrought.

I want to be at Nicole's home, too. Definitely. No work, all play. I'm afraid to start packing. Once I start, the whole damn house is going to end up in the suitcase, I know it.

Was this a cute Mother's Day thing or was he trying to make sure you come back from SF?

I think I'll try to start packing tonight. I don't want to forget the stuff I'm bringing for other people (F2F swag impulse buys) so I'll at least get that in the suitcase asap.

Does this mean you're offering a place to stay?

This, sadly, depends on how much work we've managed to get done in the house and basement by August. (Right now, the spare bed is a storage platform.)

My afternoon tv schedule is all out of whack! They're showing infomercials! How EVIL!

Hey, Bitches. Finally finished the report on the most boring companies in the world (possibly a bit of hyperbole there). Yay, me.

Nora, I'm glad your basement is getting pumped.

I am tired and getting excited all at the same time. I cannot wait for the F2F. My dress for the prom is just a day dress, but it did require me to buy a plunge bra yesterday.

Now, I need to figure out what else to wear and good, comfy walking shoes.

It was (intended to be) a cute mother's day thing.

Yay you, ChiKat!

I have a feeling that today is going to last forever and ever. It's not even noon here yet. Blah.

I CANNOT forget to add minutes to my phone and get my Shuffle back from the friend I loaned it to before Wednesday. Anyone want to volunteer to nag me about it?

eta: Deena, insent. A couple of minutes or so ago.
