{{Raq}} & {{Cass!!}} and any other parents-of-sprog with mischief on their minds. I keep telling Iris that if she wears me out now, I won't be much fun when she turns 13... she does. not. care. (4:30 am wakeup call this morning, f.e.)

we haz house in Philly.

We move in 2 weeks.

I am jealous of all the fic going on. you all are amazing.

Not to mention, how does one take parable, poetry, proverb, and prophecy literally?

So very, very true.

My cousin is adorable. She just said to me, "You know how restaurants and stores have signs in their bathroom that say to let the manager know if there are problems in the restroom? Make sure you do that with me here. I have three little boys. You are NOT to deal with the messes they make."

Warning! Prattish whining about a total first world problem ahoy! Please feel free to scroll ahead and think, "STFU, Aimee."

If Michael J. Fox were here right now, he'd call me a chickenshit lame-ass. How do I have this talk with my boss about the other job? How do I start it? He came in this morning all happy and saying, "We got some really great news from our broker!" and went on about a new white linen restaurant in the building I named and then ran out to another meeting. I've pretty much made up my mind and am taking the other job, but I want to at least give him the chance to figure out if he can get me benefits or something. t bangs forhead on desk

Hate being an adult.

Aimee, maybe send him an email to let him know you need to meet with him? That way it sort of commits you to doing something that needs doing, and it also sets a tone/expectation that you have some Serious Business to discuss and he'll be expecting it.

Serious Aimee is Serious. Srsly.

I am idiotz.

Did yours have pits? 'cause wikipedia says you're supposed to leave the pits in for to be authentic.

Yes, and it is of the YUMMMM. One nice thing about hosting is the leftovers. It is also one of the dangers, but I love to live dangerously.

You have to do what is best for the security of your family, Aimee. Boss man wouldn't hesitate to do what is best for his.

It didn't matter what evidence you produced to back up your claim.

Can't argue with a crazy person.
