My hero died today. Some of you met her when she came with us to f2f and she always sat with me while I typed so I wanted y'all to give my bitch an honorary Bitch farewell. I'm gonna miss you, Baile the Wonder Dog. We were seriously robbed!

Here's a handful of pictures from Halloween here in LA.
Gronk. Bed rest is official, at least until my next appointment (18 Nov), so I'll be working from home and crossing my fingers and going very dark.
See y'all around, I hope.

I feel like going on an outing, so I have 8 tickets for the 7:00 showing on Sunday November 14th of the Incredibles at the El Capitan Theatre, for the first 7 people who contact me saying they want to go.
Exam-ma request here - I'll be writing the second Society of Actuaries exam tomorrow morning 8:30 ADT. I'm hoping my back will unlock once it's over.
Bloody hell, THAT was an emotional roller coaster. Wishing all kinds of EverythingStaysPeachy-Ma to Plei and Mini-Plei. Actually tearful about Erika's dog. Damn. So sorry about that. And boy, does MY request for a smidgen of Ma seen silly now. (Yay Jilli, by the way! Yay!)

Ahem. Whilst hastening to add that this is the least urgent of the -Ma requests around at present, I'd still be grateful for any spare sprinklings of Success-Ma you could will towards my class of 7 year olds, who are going to be performing Rumpelstiltskin tomorrow before the rest of the Primary School and assorted parents. It's only their second chance to use the stage in the hall, and there are already quite a few things stacked against them, but they've been working v. hard and look v. cute. Bless. Fingers crossed.
Um, er, I know everyone is very, very busy and pre-occupied right now, but I'd like to request jobma. I have a phone interview this afternoon, and I'd really like to be gainfully (not just freelance-ly) employed.
Well now that I've come out to my classes, there's no reason for me to keep quiet about it here at b.org.
Frances is going to be a big sister! The bambino is due in late April (which make Plei and I pregnancy twins.) No word yet on whether it's a boy or a girl, but I'll let y'all know once I do know.
Thank you for the jobma, gang! My phone interview went well, and the manager wants to bring me in next week for a f2f interview.
Laistas: As most of you know, Billytea is going to be in town at the end of the month, and as most of you know, that means brunch at my place, on Sunday Nov. 28th, starting at about 11:30. Please let me know if you can make it, and if you need directions etc.
