He'll be her favorite husband ever.

I've always had the impression he's pretty much got that award locked up. But extra bonus husband karma never hurts.

omg, the Littlest Alter will soon be here! SO AWESOME!

ION, I hate my neighbors, but it is fading. They had a afterparty type of thing last night (MONDAY) and I had to go down and knock on their door (actually, they couldn't hear my knock, so I had to go outside and ring their bell) and ask them to keep it down.

They did promptly and wrote an apology this morning, so the urge to kill is fading, fading... but it could still rise any moment.

Do I need to acknowledge the email apology, saying, OK Thanks or something?

A vendor just tried to kill me with a boring presentation of stuff that's not new.

We should all probably kick in to buy Raq a ladder for the new house, or install a rock climbing wall, to ease the breaking in process.

Congrats, vw!

OK Thanks or something?

No. Besides, despite the apology, the noise wasn't okay. I'd just remember to give them a wave and a "hello" the next time you see them as a gesture to show no hard feelings.

I am watching the oddest design show. Based on astrological signs - whic h, why not. But this couple - how did they ever get together - she keeps calling him boring and he says no to everythihg

now the other odd show - garden police. Honestly most straight forward design shows are interesting enough - adding goofiness isn't helpful.

and I'm with Sparky, just make sure you don't seem stand offish or mad when you see them next.

Email me, Raq? mearagirl, yahoo, all that. We can figure out a time or at least a cellphone #. :)

was there at least free food or good swag?

There was lunch, and for swag a coffee mug and mints. This was company L, so we'll see what company W comes up with in a week or two when they give their spiel.

I think that company W had better swag, at least they did when I was working at the Law School.

Generally, I agree. However, I'll never forgive them for the stuffed-animal armadillo purse they tried to give away when our meeting was in San Antonio.

Someone answering an anonymous survey about my presentation last week called me a bigot because I picked on Britney Spears and Barry Bonds in my examples. Huh.
