Can I beg a little of the power of the Buffista ~ma for a premature baby. My work friend had her 5 weeks early and she has been mostly holding up well, but now is backsliding and needing to be back on oxygen. She's not putting on ounces as quickly as TPTB would like.
Some strength ~ma and thriving vibes would be much appreciated!
Dan has signed the paper, and unless something happens to his ex on her long commute tonight, today we will have officially sold OUR HOUSE!
(On the DL until I see her signature on the dotted line. But I had to tell y'all.)
Can I get some Please Let This Sale Close This Time ~ma for our rental place? We signed a third sale agreement today, and I'm hoping that's the charm.
Guys I need rental-ma for tomorrow. The house we looked at tonight is MORE than perfect, more than we expected to find. We have the deposit; the landlord just needs to check our info on the app tomorrow and if everything is copacetic, we sign a lease tomorrow night.
We were upfront about having bad credit because of divorce/student loans, but D's income is good, he's worked for his job 10 years, has security clearances, and I have no criminal record, and I told him if he needed character references we would be able to provide truly stellar refs.
Please, please, -ma for tomorrow. I will be a nervous wreck until I hear from him that the application went through OK.
Thank you!
Buffistas!
It hardly seems possible but, in just about a month, I will doing my 8th Ride for the Feast—riding my bike 140 miles from Ocean City back to Baltimore—to raise money for Moveable Feast of Maryland. Moveable Feast is an amazing non-profit organization that provides free home-delivered meals and many, many other services to Marylanders homebound with HIV/AIDS, breast and ovarian cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses.
I’m committed to raising $1,500—what Moveable Feast spends to feed one client for a year. Please, help me reach that goal: Click this link to donate:
Crowdrise--the kind of dickish website Ride for the Feast is using to collect donations--defaults to an "Optional Processing Fee" of 10% of what you're donating. This money goes to Crowdrise and NOT to Moveable Feast. Use the "Edit" link next to "Optional Processing Fee" to change this to 0%. Crowdrise refuses to change this default and Ride for the Feast won't be using them in the future.
The Walking Dead 90 minutes season finale watch and post (and possibly drinking, for me) is in Boxed Set at the start time!
(Next season I won't announce it; we'll W&P all season.
Dreamy job offer received, ~ma re-released into the general pool.
