We're going to VA tomorrow for a week, and we'll head up to Takoma Park on Thursday next week to sign our lease!

Ow, who put that ceiling there?

I'm just a bit excited about all of this. I'm not sure if you could tell.

Three more hours here at work before I'm outta here until Jan 8th

Hmph, I'm only getting Christmas Day. Odds are I'm working New Year's Day. It better be quiet this week, except we put out an update a coupld of days ago and it's causing the usual conflicts. Bah.

Excellent! We're looking forward to hearing from the DCistas about their favorite places to eat, hike, shop, etc. Yay for new experiences!

eta: connie, I'll be spending a week of that packing/sorting/throwing things out in anticipation of our move. Not exactly a vacation at the beach.

Hey Suzi, Erubiel Durazo has been invited to spring training with the A's.

I did hear that Hec. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Should be interesting - and I love shouting his first name, rolling that rrrrrrrrrrrr.

I DO NOT want to be here...but can't leave until my father drops off CJ. He has had CJ since Wednesday. Was originally supposed to be just a one night stay, so I have no clue what the boy is wearing. No idea if anyone over there either bought him new unders or washed what he had or if anyone even thought about it. I'm trying not to.

Just (well "just" in the sense of as quickly as I can be here when my computer takes FOREVER to get to b.org) back from running errands. I got caught in the rain on my way to the bank, discovered that I had lost a glove somewhere but the folks at the bank gave me an extra umbrella (!!) and I went on my way - to the yarn shop where I bought yarn and needles to make a new scarf and then to lunch.

I stopped off at Walgreens on the way back, decided I was much too tired to carry back another container of catlitter -- will make do with what I have -- and am thoroughly exhausted.

Now, I must pack, get the cats ready for me to be gone and, uh, wait for my ride.

(I also forgot to buy wrapping paper -- I'm hoping I can get some tomorrow.)

And I phoned my landlord and guess what? She doesn't know when they're coming to install the electric heaters. But it will be baseboard heat. Which means whenever they come I have to have stuff cleared away from the baseboards. Sigh.

She thinks - next week at earliest.

(Why this and not replacing the boiler? Probably because they really, really want to make this building all electrically heated.)

Note to self: while staying at Saratoga Springs Resort at DW may save vacation points, it is far, far away and takes forever to get to and from. It's a bit like waiting for a bus to Brigadoon.

Sparky!

Eastern Market, go Eastern Market, choose Eastern Market...for brunch that is...some weekend morning...so I can host you and show you around the very best DC neighborhood next to your own.

How exciting. Easy travels to you...and how nice to have you joining us!

On a totally other note. Has anyone had experience with someone in their life who exhibits adult Asperger Syndrome?

It seems someone very close to me may be afflicted and I have no clue how to respond.

waiting for a bus to Brigadoon

And now I'm ear-wormed with the high school production we did of Brigadoon.
