Jayne ,'The Message'
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I usually don't do vibage for people not related to me, but Mr. Jane's coworker and our good friend Kevin had his mother go to the ICU last night. She's a cool lady and even at 70 something can hang with the most hard core of us.
Please, send her some health~ma.
Squee! Happy family news! I just found out that my "little" cousin (she'll be 17 in the spring and is a junior in HS) is going to be able to graduate a year early, this May! Holy crap! And she's getting into a full scholarship program at Northern Arizona University, so no tuition or room/board because of her high GPA. After two years, she'll be able to transfer to the college of her dreams, wherever that may be.
I am SO PROUD! She's as close as I have to a little sister, so this is really big news for me. WHEE!
ETA: The family is having second thoughts. Wee cousin may be graduating in December instead since her parents have observed a sudden onslaught of stress at the way she would have to fill her requirements. Still, early graduation and great college options, so I'm still very happy and proud.
Damn it.
My mom's lung cancer has metastasized. They found it in her hipbone and are planning an MRI to see if it's anywhere else. She's planning to refuse chemo, but is going to have targeted radiation for the spot on her hip.
I don't know how to feel right now, except for hating cancer. That's a constant.
March of Dimes does great things for preemies. And you can donate in Grace's Honor now. If you are looking for a charity that is.
I'm doing 101 Things in 1001 Days. There are a couple of LiveJournal communities for doing it together, but I thought it would be more fun to do the project with Buffistas. Anyone interested in joining me? Email my profile addy. You can see my project blog to see my list.
If anyone is interested in a nice Ford Escape Hybrid, I'm selling mine. It's a 2006 with just over 42k miles on it. I'm asking $22,500. Hit me up at my profile address if you are interested and I'll send you some pictures.
Interview~ma appreciated DC-ward at about 11EST. I definitely want the job, but it may only be for a year, in which case I wouldn't want it. So, "permanent job"~ma and "hire Vortex because she rocks"~ma is appreciated.
I got a new job!
It doesn't require me to move!
To celebrate, I changed my screen name!
I had an interview and I think it went well. So I'd like some 2nd interview ma.
