Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm facing social awkwardness tonight. DH has a perfectly nice former co-worker whose wife is less than nice. She forced him to take another job and move away to her home town and they're back visiting.

Whenever they visit, they email their old group of friends expecting someone to step up and organize a gathering. Only, people don't respond because they don't like the wife.

Because of DH's continuing friendship with ex-co-worker, we felt compelled to respond. We're the only ones. Now I'm trapped into eating dinner with a rather cold, snooty woman who doesn't like me or my kids.

Jilli, I still think "Friends Don't Let Friends Dress Like The Crow" is the single best tagline I've ever read on the internet.

I may have to apologize to Pete today, because I think I just broke his wife.

Feel free to start.

So, class, wanna share what debauchery has been found on YouTube?

Thank you. I'm still very proud of it.

I still have no motivation. I've packed one box, and stuck lables on all my computer hardware. I've also sent email to Someone I Know Who Is Very Famous, because Pete told me that I HAD TO let that person know about the Yahoo thing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Cashmere, that sucks. I suppose she is not the type of woman who would let just the husbands go out alone next time?

Hey, Smokers, there's a new book out you might enjoy (and, also, Emily Flake fans):

Cashmere, ugh! Does your husband agree about this woman's awfulness? At least then you'll be able to have someone to complain about her with after the evening is over.

Cashmere, I suggest heavy drinking.

I'm already doing that. So share.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Another cool thing is if someone were to stumble upon Jilli's site after reading the Yahoo thing, the very top posting at Jilli's site is her review of Vampire People.

Nice to see such synchronicity in the Buffista World Domination plot....
