Ack, ChiKat! I'm sorry they gave you an ultimatum! I'd still keep dialing the phone, down the list of 1-3, to see if anyone will delay the time you have to let them know.
Laura, lots of health ~ma and cope ~ma for you and Bob and your DH.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
One difficulty with the shopping is that I literally do not know this neice. I've never met her, and Tom hasn't seen her since toddler/young kid age. So I am sort of prone to dealing with generics. Do not even get me started on the almost 17 year old nephew (they're brother and sister). I have NO idea. His birthday's in August, need to start thinking about that too.
We're like mysterious aunt and uncle in America- it's Tom's brother's family, and his brother has been AWOL for YEARS. (and the 2 brothers were never close to start with) So, the connection is a little tenuous and heartbreaking but we keep plugging along. Got a heartbreaker of a letter from the 13 year old. Had me pricing flights to Ireland right quick.
I did end up ordering this... [link]

Seriously, I am so tired I can't even believe that I ever did anything or exerted any effort in my life ever. It seems like such an impossibility.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Nora, she'll love it. Very dainty and pretty.

the comments seemed also to indicate that it was an appropriate choice... not too much for a 13 year old, but pretty.
Thanks, GC. I am going to bookmark Pottery Barn Teen and Delia's for future reference. Every summer (birthdays) and Christmas we go through the same scramble, so resources on hand are always good.
I have to look at Delia's more carefully when I have my brain and attention span back. It looks fun!

oh that's beautiful! I bet she'll love it.
I = crazy at new job. Very overwhelmed. And Change is Hard. It's been making me cry some and really miss my old co-workers and boss.
But commute is AWESOME! And I had sushi by the water around the corner at lunch today. And the commute? So AWESOME.
And I'm going to NY tomorrow for a little vacation. Scheduling a long weekend vacation right away was genius, I think.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Anne's hiding something from us! It appears that her stepfather's name is *NOT* Glen as she'd hve us suspect.
Anne's stepfather is, in fact, Jimmy Kimmel. [link]
