juliana, somewhat better. As soon as Matilda finishes nursing and goes into a stupor, I'm loading up the car with all the laundry in the universe and going out to my mom's for the day, where I can wash and dry and IRON things and my mom will feed me and then dandle Matilda while I take a 30-minute hot shower.
Hec looked quite doleful on his way out the door, but at least my dept. is having a holiday party tonight, which means tasty food and free booze and introducing Hec to my cool and nifty co-worker who's also a massive Tom Waits fan.
eta: askye, thanks. It'll be 3 days as of 5:00 today.
etaa: Fuck yeah! Someone in Ann Arbor is sniping my last couple of auctions! As a buyer, I loathe snipers, but as a seller, I must admit I'm growing to love them.
Yay for getting your turn at some mommy care, JZ. Free tasty food and booze always a plus too.
JZ, I hope you have a good, restful day at your mom's.
JZ, yay for laundry day at Mom's! Also, sellers I've worked with have pretty much said they demand payment within three days of the auction's end, so I'd start nudging away. Sometimes, I'll buy something and end up needing to transfer money to Paypal to cover the payment but when I email the seller to inform them, they are always patient to wait for a PP payment, rather than the week it would take to get a money order and mail it to them.
Laura, lots of line-up-ma for you. It sounds unlikely that this would be a different person. Thieves tend to keep doing what's easiest, which makes it easier to catch their stupid asses. I hope they can link this fuckwad and throw the book at him.
I need to go buy some cheap cookie cutters. I thought I had some but Owen may have fed them to the VCR. I cheated and bought the sheets of sugar cookie dough yesterday so the kids and I can make Christmas cookies tonight.

Bed Bath and Beyond has a big bag of em for like, $10.

Crap. We don't have a BBB very close. The choices are: Target...or...um...Target.
Target's the closest store where I won't have to deal with long lines or walking through a HUGE store wrangling babies.
Cash - I think Target has a bunch of cookie cutters in the "Dollar Spot" section.
I need to go get some, too. Em and I are gonna do them on Saturday.

Excellent! I won't have to go far. And there is a Starbucks in the Target, so I can also get some gift cards.
I need new cookie cutters too, but they need to be 3 inch diameter or more. I stayed up until 2 a.m. frosting cookies last night. Ugh.
I made chocolate cookies with peanut butter and chocolate chips and also chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies yesterday.
Tonight are the pumpkin walnut and ginger snaps.
Saturday is sugar and spritz.
