My sister calls me on her ride to work every morning for the answer to the local radio station's trivia contest. I've won her movie tickets before.

I love those calls because I never end up enraged or crying at the end of them.

That's the best part! (I do get an "I love you" at the end of each call so I'mma let the kid slide on the using me to do his homework deal)

It hasn't been that bad lately, even though she reminded me that I still have to e-mail that girl I'm supposed to marry.

Email the girl, and be totally yourself at your highest level of you-ness. If she likes what she sees, then she is (imo) worth checking out further. If she doesn't, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Oh god, it's "write your annual review time". I believe I've mentioned how much I hate this time of year? Pete tried to tell me that I always think I'm going to get a bad review, and that I always do fine. However, I think this year is a bit different, because not only did my mid-year career check-in have a couple of "Needs Improvement" comments, but I have gotten NO feedback from my boss since then.

I think I want a new job.

I get a flurry of text messages every Wednesday when my sister and friends are at pub trivia.

P-C that sounds exactly like three phone calls I've gotten from my son today. Apparently I'm his homework answer desk.

No one has posted this yet?

Well we'll be at Cafe Hon around 7ish and you can get a copy then and read it and discuss right away! (uh...providing Your comic is the Buffy comic!)

It IS the Buffy comic. Of course! - but blarg. I missed it bc we're in all sorts of confusion and transitiony mess over here. I just skipped a zillion posts too. And now I'm jumping back off the internets for a bit. But news first:

• On Monday, DHs mom had what they thought was a stroke, but she's ok, and no one knows what was wrong with her.
• DH accepted job in PA.
• My awesome sis and her fab DH have been here for 2 weeks, much of the past week filled up by her engineers' conference. She was giving a paper on 'Stress Wrinkling'. I think I have that.
• and now we have to decide on place-of-residence. AmyLiz, we're looking in West Chester, Chestnut Hill, and Swarthmore/Media, I think, this time. There's a little area near Swarthmore that looks like one of the Arts and Crafts utopian colonies that I want to check out. Dang though, I don't want to leave where we live. I love it and all of its messy goodness.

So, a tentative yay for you, Sox?
