H and I are officially west coasties. Maybe one day we'll find house under all the boxes.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I feel funny posting here, since I'm pretty much only in small threads nowadays, but I need some ~ma.
My cousin was killed in a house fire night before last, and now, instead of going to his funeral, I'm in the process of heading to upstate NY for my niece's wedding. I really, really want to be both places. I would really appreciate any ~ma that I can keep it together this week, as the family has decided not to tell the bride until after the wedding.

I release the health~ma back into the world. I am fine. I have to go back in a couple of months to make sure, but I'm in the clear for now.

I have an Actual interview with an Actual hiring manager for a coop/intern job next Tuesday (special to Tom Warin & Nora -- EBSCO!)... which is actually the first time I've actually talked to somebody with the power to decide to hire me for an appropriate job in like, forever. -Ma will be heavily appreciated....

Our old house is on the market (after a hideous delay) and has been for a month and a half now. We're priced as low as we can go, and so far, nothing much.
As I'm living in terror of becoming a landlord (our other option), I'm asking for a little, "someone PLEASE buy our house!" ma from y'all.

I'm scheduled for hernia surgery tomorrow morning. I don't anticipate any complications, but I'd appreciate any warm thoughts for an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery.
Also, anyone figure out how to teach a 4 yo boy not to climb on you? That'd be useful to know too.

“Not dead yet!”
Couple of dates of import:
January 4th movers arrive at my house. I am currently up to my ears in brown boxes and Styrofoam peanuts so my 'net presence is sporadic at best.
January 8th, 2010, we FLY to Seattle and become official residents. (We closed on our house on Friday!) I'll be posting the new address in my profile and keeping it there for a bit for anyone who'd like to have it. For the time being, my cell phone number will remain the same and probably the best way to get hold of me.
There WILL be a housewarming party at some point, probably in February, details to come.
See y'all on the flip side!

Hey y'all techie types -
If anyone knows anything about funding sources for MS certifications and the like, outside of federal grants, please hit me up at profile addy. Also, what's a reasonable price to pay for such training.
Ta very much.

OK, leaving for my internship interview. Lots and lots of -ma would be greatly appreciated at getting them to realize what a great catch I'd be, which I truly believe to be The Truth.
