ND, I hope you guys have a nice time!
I'm back up. I think I'm all caught up on my sleep, which is nice. Must do some dishes (which have been terribly neglected), then I'm going to head into the square for a big brunch and a massage.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

~ma for Senor Sock, tommyrot. And a little ~ma for you, too. That must have been scary coming home to a comatose cat.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Congratulations to your niece, ND!
We haven't done a thing yet today. TCG just went out for a walk to the beach and I'm watching the food network and reading. I should start calling moving companies.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You know you're a parent when one fine, Saturday morning you find yourself washing sunscreen out of Barbie doll's asscrack.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So she's never heard the phrase, "Stick it where the sun don't shine"?
ION, thanks for all the kitty well-wishes....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am so crazy envious of vw right now, between the brunch and the massage and the end of the semester (okay, so I haven't been in school since forever and am totally ineligible for an end of a semester, but I remember how good they felt and so I'm envious, so there).
ION, phoo. Matilda just woke up and is flumping around adorably looking all happy and sociable, and I just remembered where the Baby Bjorn is -- in our car with Hec and Emmett, for the entire 3-day weekend. Possibly it's time to get a little cheapie umbrella stroller, 'cause I'm not loving the prospect of 3 days of lugging our sturdy but largeish stroller in and out of buses. And Matilda must go out this weekend; she's being too sweet for me to hog her all to myself. All must admire!

Awww...JZ, you're too sweet. It really was lovley. I was VERY tense still and feel much better after the massage. And brunch was yummy too.
I wish I could come hang out with you and the Matilda. She sounds so delightful!

Ok - got a job offer! WHEE! Not from the company that I really want to work for, actually a company that I'm kind of "meh" on. The salary is really quite low. How do I counter offer?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Aimee, I'd contact the company you really want to work for and tell them you got another offer, but that their company is really your first choice and ask for a timeline on when they will be making decisions.
