We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Totally. Her life is kind of that.

(Oh, and they lost the apartment. When she moved in she had a gorgeous gas fireplace put in, which really makes the whole place. The father was all "What a waste of space. You could put a cabinet there."

Let that be a warning to other prospective househunters. 'Ware the hot French handyman, 'ware!)

In fact, if you SEE the hot french handyman call me right away.

I'd not be worrying about minor design flaws if I thought a prospective place came with a hot French handyman.

So I finally got a gmail account so I could freaking send mail from my mailer on this computer. My stupid isp couldn't give me the right configs for outgoing mail. It's only been a year (I can use their webmail interface, but I kinda hate it.) I'll keep the isp email account, but still. WHY MUST THEY BE DIFFICULT?

And OWOWOWOWOWOW! I just stood up from the balance ball. Which stuck to the back of my legs. OW. Time to toss a dishtowel over it.

I have doors at work too. But they trap me into a room with kids.

Yeah, sadly, she's keeping him. Though I'm not entirely sure whether a comment about getting rid of him would have elicited near the reaction that dissing the fireplace did.

Her other prospect lives in a townhouse across the street and wants her place for an office and for socializing. People=crazy.

This is what I did for the late afternoon. That and sign consent forms for Noah's surgery tomorrow. I need to make a Noah binder and a Grace binder.

OH and I chased down insurance adjustments for my HMO stuff. And I laughed and laughed and laughed at the huge EOB that came for Noah today ($438,318.18). Is it bad that I want to make an itemized list, including conception charges, meds, prenatal care and now this to trot out when Noah asks me to buy him a car or some other such?

Nobody in my office has doors. Not even the Americas CEO.

Kat, if you don't do that, one of us surely will, even if we have to make up the numbers.

brenda, I think I'd have to make up the numbers at this point. But I think one of injectible meds I had to take cost $1100 out of pocket alone. If we counted the entire process of getting pregnant and not just the one successful attempt, it would be over $10,000 probably.
