Meara, GILF is sounding like a combo of the last few gals I've dated. Tease, bring others on dates, etc etc. Very frustrating. Best of luck. I say pick her up on the next date with a two seater (motorcycle? Golf cart??) That way, no visitors. Then take her back to your cleaned place and... well...
Susan, very cool Hope it happens. Debt free is a wonderful concept!
ND, glad to hear things are clearing up. Continued health~ma.
No word from local NPR on offer to volunteer.
Today was a long day, 15 hours door to door. Oy. But then tomorrow, should be like 9. Go figure.
Ugg, got munchies @ 1.30am. Not gonna munch on anything. But stomach is like "c'mon you got goldfish in the cupboard!" I hate it when my stomach knows whats in the kitchen.
This morning was a lesson in Toddlers Who Have Definite Opinions on Clothing Choices.
Emeline has decided she does not like pants. She screamed and whined for a half hour this morning about her severe dislike of pants. So this spring and summer, I will be making a crapload of dresses and skirts. As soon as the summer prints go on sooper sale. I'm buying everything out and getting a few good patterns and making dresses. If anything, it'll make the morning more bearable.
Of course, for the major fit throwing, I was in the shower. Joe had to deal with it. YAY nice daddy not smooshing her little face, even though I know you wanted to. kiss kiss kiss.
I'm really not a fur person, but... mmmmm....
Possibly the two-parent family is to help everyone survive the toddler years.
My morning got off to quite a start - there was a five-alarm fire a few blocks from me (one person hurt, several hundred displaced from the burned building and others nearby) so the streets around home were closed off. Made the trip in kind of, um, interesting.
Hard to say at this point, partly because the tax implications change based on the value of the stock when we actually sell it vs. its value at the point we inherited it.
Also, if it is a specific or residual bequest, I think. (It's been 10 years since I did any Estates & Trusts.) Anyhoo, fingers crossed, Susan!
My commute was kerfucked this morning because of a fire that forced the evacuation of 170 apartments. Conclusion: Police need better training in conducting traffic because the fellow at one corner looked confused.
eta: DC fire xpost!
Good lord, I thought conducting traffic was one of those cultural things people would pick up from movies and TV when growing up.
Or maybe I focus on these things in shows waaay too much.
This is DC traffic - large numbers of people, all of whom are IMPORTANT and have IMPORTANT places to go and IMPORTANT things to do, so they shouldn't have to wait. Or stop for lights. Or for traffic. (or, actually, for flaming buildings in their path)
My commute is not (yet) kerfucked because I am still on the couch in my pjs. Should probably do something about that.
Yay, Susan! I've long forgotten the tax implications, but something to factor in -- if the company pays regular dividends, it may be worth considering whether to accept the regular extra income over the one-time windfall that may be subject to a big tax hit.
Oh jesus, just got an invite to my 20 year HS reunion. Unpossible!
