Laistas! On the off chance that any of you were planning on coming to dinner with Billytea and I in Marina Del Ray, please to not.
8 hours after we left Monterey, we have only made it as far as Aimee's place, where we are taking a breather. We will be having pizza at my place though, so if you want to join us, let me know!
A good friend's mom needs a lot of ~ma right now. Also ~ma for the friend. It's health related and that's all I can say, but she's in a rough place right now.
Grant-ma results part un: Yaaaayyy! Just heard back today from our first (and major) foundation -- they've granted our full request amount! This covers damn near everything not already dealt with by individuals, etc. Okay, not everything. But near enough where I can say, yes, we're doing the program next year. Yaaaaayyy!
So thanks, Buffistas for the -ma. Grant-ma part deux we should hear about in January.
The Empress and I are heading for le hospital for (we think) the impending arrival of Princess Emeline Jayne Conat, Miracleborn I.
News as it, ya know...happens and junk.
I HAVE A JOB!!!
Starting officially tomorrow, at the place I've been temping for a while, but in a different position. (Tech instead of admin.) WOO HOO!!
I need job-ma, please. I am waiting to hear back from Old Navy about a sales position.
Miraclesprog update!
Emma will be out in a couple hours! Or, as MM put it, a "couple L.A. hours," since hours take longer out there.
The Empress is in "station plus one," meaning she is "one hundred percent effaced, fully dilated."
Aims is doing fine now that she's hopped up on drugs.
Emma is totally ready to come out, peoples. Send out the welcome-to-the-world-ma.
This week we hear whether the show my BF works on is renewed (which means another 6 months of work, a promotion and a raise) or not (which means unemployment). Another Season vibes, please!
A quick Miracleborn update:
Aimee has been trying very very hard, pushing and pushing, and Emeline's head just doesn't want to fit through that opening, so she's been sent in for a C-section.
Emma should be among us shortly.
I'll be going dark for the next two weeks while on vacation where I don't expect to have Net access (Caribbean cruise). See you when I get back!
