-t, I'm sorry about your MiL. While Beatings from Bitches are very helpful, I think that H should probably have a little talk with her so she knows not to say hurtful things. (I'm a firm believer in spouses take care of unpleasant things each with their own parents. Thus when my MiL made comments about children, I made my DH step in so she couldn't blame it on me.)

vw, you will get this figured out -- you haven't made any mistakes yet, and you might possibly be going through the process of keeping yourself from making one, but that's a good thing. {{}}

I had a lovely time with you! It was interesting to have someone cut my hair who was enjoying it, not just snipping through to the next customer.

It is common at the F2F to come away feeling flashes of regret that you didn't get to spend enough time with this person or that person. Conversely, though, circumstances oftentimes pull you into the company of somebody new and it turns out to be a blast. Such was my AmyLiz time. Plus I had an excuse to play with your hair all weekend.

I also had unexpected bonus time with smonster and amyth (since my houseguests Kate and SA both have close connections with the NCistas) and that was a huge treat.

More JZ time would have been even better, though.

I know! I hardly saw her myself over the weekend. But I kissed her belly all over this morning so it was nice to get reacquainted.

Eggs scrambled with avocado, feta and cheddar

Pfft. The One True Omlette(TM) is eggs scrambled with avocado and Jarlsberg. (And guess what cheese I bought yesterday, for omlettes tomorrow? Uh huh.)

Beej, you have all my sympathy on the mono. I've had it twice, and it's annoying as hell. All you can really do is rest as much as possible and ride it out.

You and Suzi both seemed to be enjoying your holiday from Mom responsibilities.

I love my kids, but OMG yes.

Woot! It's 2:30 and I'm goin' home. Of course, the office closed 2 hours ago, but still! Leaving early!

I think this pizza I had had feta in it. At least, I think that's the funny-tasting, slightly tangy cheese.

funny-tasting

FYI, It's spelled "y-u-m-m-y - t-a-s-t-i-ng"!

This is why I lost the sixth-grade spelling bee.

No, wait, that was translate.

Also, I just had a conversation about television with my co-workers. How awesome is that? I told one of them to watch VM because he claimed Boston Legal was too good for network TV, and I'm all, "Bitch, let me tell you about too good for network TV..." To my surprise, he'd actually heard of the show! And heard that it was good! I told him he was ahead of most people.

There was also some Serenity discussion that I posted about in the FF thread.

Very quiet day here. Dave and I worked on cover letters for him for a while, and then I paid my bills. We're headed over to T's tonight instead of going out. I like days like this.

{{{Beej}}} Quick recovery~ma.

{{{vw}}} No more headaches or stuffiness for you. I decree it. Also, good luck with the loan. You're education is worth it; it will work out.

{{{-t}}}

askye, that coworker definitely deserves a cluesticking, and I adore JZ's suggestion.

{{{Nora and Tom}}} So sorry about the insurance stuff.
