Happy Birthday, NORA! Hope you're off having a fabulous day.

I just got home from visiting mom. She looks great. She got to take a shower while I was there. She was very happy about that. She also walked up steps. GO MOM!

And, in true mom form, she started negotiations for a full-time, permanent position at her company, where she is currently a contractor. That woman never stops.

She gets to go home tomorrow. YAY!

Hmmm, perhaps I should tape it. To watch post Scifi Friday

I remember SciFi Friday fondly. It's just SG: SGI and SG: Atlantis and BSG now, right? Where's my fucking Doctor Who???

I want to leave now so badly I can taste it.

It tastes like RUMBALLS.

Lee should totally be allowed to leave. I say so.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to pretty soon. I just need to put in a little more time.

eta: Like, for instance, NOW!!!

Have great weekends everyone.

Have fun in Vegas!!!

Migraine~ma to all the migraine sufferers today.

I made yummy chili for dinner and now I am a good way towards being very drunk. Soon we will finally get to watch Project Runway.

I love Vegas! I wanna go. Next time.

Whee! So my GF had a bad week, and I had a usual week. I stopped at the CVS and bought her a cute frog water bottle for a buck and a funny card and called her to see what was up. Being a huge frog fan she said she wanted to go and have a drink at the Frog Lounge in town since in the 8 years she has lived here she hasn't gone there. I agreed since a) the joint is owned by my neighbors and b) despite the totally dive exterior, just a neighborhood bar.

I called DH and he said to go do whatever and he'd take care of the boys.

So we go and have a couple drinks and have a nice chat. As we are heading out the door we get hit on by a couple of the locals. The one guy actually asks my friend if she is Jewish and then drags her to meet his friend. They both hung in the same Brooklyn area a couple decades ago. They talked about stuff unknown to this girl and the Florida cracker (self described) friend.

We declined the offers of drinks but enjoyed the banter for a time. We both left with smiles on our faces. Not every day a couple 40something and 50something fat not skinny chicks get so much attention. Still amused when I get home and tell DH and his friend about getting hit on at the Frog Lounge. They both don’t find this at all surprising. Huh?

So I am tipsy and amused and kinda pleased.

Wooooo Laura, go you with being all hittablyy cute at the Frog Lounge! Isn't it nice when that comes across as validation, not creepy-scary? Yes it is.

Off for an evening of sophisticated adult entertainment including alcoholic beverages and TV. Livin' la vida sofa is the good life.

Dear asshole electrician,

No, we are not the owners. Yes, we understand that you are putting in long hours doing essential work updating the outside connections and grounds for this house. No, it is still not okay for you to park in the middle of the driveway and block us all in (or out) from 10am until 7pm. And yes, we really expect fucking NOTICE before you turn off our power for an entire fucking day. Did it ever occur to you that maybe the people living here might actually NEED power, especially the one of us who works out of a home office? And even so, what makes you think that it's ok to have the power off this late even WITH notice? It's a Friday night. It would be nice if we could relax, surf the internet, watch tv, heat something up in the microwave or, you know, SEE.

I really kind of want to stab you with a fork right now. Lucky for you, it's getting too dark for me to see.

No love,

Kristin

Livin' la vida sofa

Yep. That is my current plan. Yay for SciFi!

Also, not at all creepy-scary. Just good natured fun.
