Part of me is surprised I can keep anything straight!

Perzactly! Congratulate yourself when you do. Perhaps with ice cream.

My main minion came back from holidays today, and I am so ridiculously grateful as he's the most organised man on the planet, and that's the skill I lack the most and in every way.

So, mom and dad just dropped off mom's car. NEITHER one of them noticed my hair color change. And I thought it was pretty drastic.

At least mom can't give me grief about it. I mean, if she didn't notice it, I don't think the Sunday School parents are going to and think I'm all rebellious and stuff.

Timelies all.

I'm off to the airport.

dcp, you're such a great photographer. Those are amazing. The hummingbird pictures are even more amazing.

Trudy, I hope you got some sleep and that your mother is better today. I'll be thinking about you.

d - feel better! If not, I'll start making MiL's chicken soup recipe. It fixes everything.

I didn't unemploy myself again, despite dark thoughts in that direction. Instead, I continued a 9 [!]-year trend of talking about job suckage, then job suddenly doesn't suck for about 5 minutes, I am lulled, then it sucks again - but I believe that it might not suck in the future. I have been, of course, influenced in this belief by my bank accounts, which I also hope will not suck in the future. It's a way of life.

However, getting through the work day got me to World Cafe Live last night with DH and Iris' godfather (who drove allthewayfromBaltimore to go) to see the Handsome Family play. [link] Which was a good time. Currently loving the Tesla song - new fave.

{{Trudy}} May your mom receive excellent care and recover soon. Much health~ma. And rest~ma to you.

...it didn't look like an unnatural color. Would Sunday School really get bent out of shape if you dyed your hair a color found in nature? WTF?

Morning, bitches! I am almost never up this early (and I've been up for over an hour), but that lovely monthly reminder of femaleness woke me up. GRRR. But now I have taken meds, which are kicking in, and I have a lovely heating pad, and life is much better. At some point I"ll need to leave the house and get coffee though. Hrmph.

Trudy, lots of ~ma for your mother. May they figure out the cause and fix it soon.

::puts away the party hats and noise makers::

My parents are arriving this weekend so they can see the house. This means that they will be there for the inspection on Sunday and my civil engineer, type A, perfectionist father will be examining the foundation of the place. I can see both good and bad in that.

Also, I need to make subliminal suggestions to my DH along the lines of, "You need to buy your wife a Stickley sofa."

Happy Birthday, smonster!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS SMONSTER!!
