Bonjour Bitches! Beaucoup de vin et fromage for you. Or for me, anyway!
I have safely arrived in France, and have caught up on hundreds of messages.
Happy First Birthday to Matilda, Congratulations to sj and TCG on their engagement, Congratulations school peeps on your fantastic grades, and good luck to P-C on surviving mom visit discussion and omins for annoying management decisions.
Now, does the hivemind know of a good way to get shampoo smell off books? It seems I was overly stupid and didn't put shampoo in a special bag and now it is everywhere.
Timelies!
I love that I can be productive in the morning, but it's only 7:00 a.m., and I've completed the following:
- Made to do list
* Printed out readings for class
* Read one of the two readings
* Created sign-up sheet for tutoring next week
* Walked Toto
* Did dishes
* Took out trash
* Written 5 e-mails
* Wrote note to professor about sign-up sheet
* Wrote 3-page tutoring log
* Checked all my online haunts
* Requested 2 books via ILL
* Packed bag for the day
Can I take a nap now?
Good Lord woman. You've taken all the morning from everyone else and used it all up. By seven this morning I had achieved... sleep? Does that count?
A little, yes. But in a constructive manner, which is at least the good kind of crazy.
I don't know where this morning productivity is coming from. I think it's partially that I know that when I get home I have no energy, so if I'm going to get *anything* done, it needs to be in the morning, but geez. I'm really on a roll today.
And, with that, I must shower and get ready for the day.
I just got an email from a woman selling a sit & stand stroller for $25! That's so cheap and it's mine to pick up. I'll need to arrange for that pick up and figure out what's the best time to take the kids to the gym.
DH leaves this afternoon for central Wisconsin for a job interview tomorrow. The job would be a 50% pay increase and a cost of living decrease but it's in a much smaller town so I'm a little ambivalent about whether I want him to get the job.
Of course, this means two days on my own with the Toddler Squad.
Seeing a Joss-related actor doing well elsewhere always makes me very happy.
Which reminds me, I watched
Chuck
the other night (with Adam Baldwin) and it was really good.
Cash, it occurs to me I never responded to you about the possibility of a job for your DH in Southfield.
Come! Come to the Detroit area! Come live in Ypsilanti with me and we shall have glorious times!
Heh. I mentioned that to him, Aimee. We'll see if he gets an interview. Thing is, he likes his job but he's getting sort of jerked around. His boss promised him a promotion this summer that he has yet to see. He's started getting the responsibilities, but not the title or the money.
Hence the job search. It's not as if DH started calling--he just took a call from a recruiter and the offers started flowing in. We'll see what comes of it. He could always give his boss a chance to counter.
I missed Chuck and need to see if it's available online. I suspect it conflicts with Monday Night Football so I need to start recording it.
I need to finish getting us dressed so we can go to the gym.
