t bangs head on desk

I *hate* following up on jobs. Called #2 choice and left her a message asking if there had been a decision made yet, that I had another offer from another cmpany on the table but that this was my number 1 choice.

I hope I didn't sound like a total goober.

Ok. Be kind. This is my first time working without a pattern. Jessica Rabbit dress: stage one

DJ, that's a gorgeous dress. I'm also impressed with your duct tape dress form.

Ha! Thanks. We're too poor to shell out $200+ if we can make it our own damn selves. Mr. Jane had to do the duct taping. When we were almost through he told me he thought it was kinda hot.

Strange man.

DJ, your shape + duct tape - what man wouldn't find it kinda hot?

When we were almost through he told me he thought it was kinda hot.

Absolutely unsurprised by that.

Dude, I find it kinda hot.

I just rode the subway home with the most beautiful family. And when we got off, another passanger TOUCHED one of the children's hands. The mother, rightfully so, gave him a dirty look, and I stood there with my jaw dropped. What is wrong with people?

Yes, this. You know how they are--all crinkly out of the package. Got to remember to iron mine tonight.

don't bother. run the shower hot, hang it, and let the steam dewrinkle it. If you do decide to iron, make sure that you don't have the setting too high. those things are one molecule away from liquid, and it might melt.

As am I. I really need to make one of my own.

People are weird with kids. Once when Isaac was about 3 months old or so, I took him grocery shopping. He was in his carseat so all you could see was his little feet. One woman came up and put her hand on his foot and said she'd like to kiss it! I was a bit surprised, "er, sorry, you can't."
