My flu has morphed into an endlessly running nose. Which I guess means my sinuses are draining or something, because the pressure in my head has gone all weird, which makes me feel a little tipsy.

This was me, yesterday. The tipsy feeling is gone today, if that helps. Feel better soon!

I'll be teaching here in October: [link]

Yay! The summer abroad program was the one thing I regretted not doing. Going for the CILI certificate gave me the perfect reason, but it never came together. Are you working with Dr. L on this?

Sox, that's a beautiful house! You obviously took great care in restoring and updating it. I love the tilework in the bathroom, and the reading nook looks so cozy. Now to the important stuff: May your realtor break his fingers installing his next "For Sale" sign, lose his business cards and cell phone forever, and trip himself up in the strings from open house ballons, tossing him into a muddy front yard every time. And may everyone in his geographic region decide to use another realtor, because nothing says "You suck!" better than no commissions.

My DH told me this morning that he hadn't gone to the Post Office with something like he'd promised me (two weeks ago) because he's "been busy." I called BS on this excuse, he whined, fumed, and finally sent it off today. He just sent me an email to apologize for being an arse since the task took him seven minutes.

Are you sure we didn't marry the same man? These DHs of ours make me want to bang my head on the wall sometimes.

So, when I find out TODAY that I'll be getting a 1099 that should apply to the taxes I ALREADY FILED, well, I get a bit HACKED OFF.

I don't blame you. Go back and file an amended return, though. I forgot (with a W-2 for chump change) and it triggered an audit. That nightmare was with me for a little over a year by the time it was all said and done. I wouldn't wish that process on anyone, including a neo-con.

Damn, that sounds exactly like what I had in August. It never knocked me out completely, but I was feeling it for a month. I still feel like the congestion in my ears never completely cleared up.

Hm. According to my mom, my uncle is "pissed" at me for some reason. I guess because I told him for the three-thousandth time that I had no interest in buying a house right now and would he PLEASE stop telling me about it every time we talked.

this is a problem how?

Because I'm obligated to visit him every month, and I don't like being around people who are pissed at me?

Also, I need him to buy his car back so I can get a better one?

juliana - insent.

Trying to catch up ... not only has work been eating me, but I've been fighting off a sinus infection. I think I'm winning ... yay me? Managed to get the new issue of our journal off to the printer on schedule - yay for good!boss.

vw, which telenovela? I'm following one right now, but I visit a blog where they recap several of them ... IN ENGLISH.

The @@ - I seem to remember JZ proposing it for "rolling eyes" and someone posting "boobies!" and the entire board becoming 11.5 (no, not even 12). Some time after that, it got into use as intended.

Sorella, best of luck with the statement and finishing your application. I know you'll get it done and it will blow them away.

Can't you trade it in or sell it yourself? If you bought it, the car is yours to do with as you please.

Todd, I hope the ick isn't coming after you. Feel better soon. (We should have a macro for that right now.)

I wish I could hang out with Sox and try out my whitegirl cornerspeak on her.
