successfully negotiated the NJ trains, the NY subway and the Queens cabbies to get me, my luggage and my coworker to LaGuardia this morning
Better than I've ever managed, or even had the courage to try, and I live in Jersey. Glad you had fun! Fun on someone else's dime is the best.
Welcome home, Erin!
I am currently surfing the Internet while holding baby. I type MUCH slower this way!
Self-reliancy is so satisfying to me, it's almost erotic. Although last night, the exisitence of a creature called the "express train" did make me have to back and fill.
IMO, New York subway system is SO much more confusing than the Tube in London.
A hoor!! With stubble burn and no sleep! I'm so impressed, Erin. And hella jealous.
Me, I went to go meet my latest craigslist date, and got stood up. Harumph.
He's got my thumb! [link]
Just trying to keep up with tradition.
No, actually, that's a lie. I was just thinking."Gnnnaarrrr, vodka and cute boi NARFFF NARG SNORGLE sorry trudy GNARJF."
He's got my thumb!
Oh, that makes my ovaries ache.
Mom and my sister are conspiring to eliminate the xmas gift exchange. Mom says my sister told her we're basically just exchanging $50 bills. Last year I was my sister's giver and I put a lot of time and effort into her gifts. I am the only person in the gift exchange who doesn't get a christmas present from any other source. I know that receiving gifts shouldn't be the important thing about christmas but I want to cry.
I never had much luck with writer's groups either, Susan. Mostly, because old guys took it personally that a young blonde crip chick in her twenties *dared* to critique their wannabe Puzo/David Chase stories. I may not have been the beta they wanted, but I *had* read a book after 1984. They could use my opinion.
mostly, though, they drove me insane, hyphenating "god-damn" and "mother-fucker" and they kept doing it after I told them I'd never seen it that way, ever.
Laga, that does seem like missing the point.
But I'm a girl, what did I know?
Motherfucker.
