and frank, it's not looking too great to get together with you though the menu looked AWESOME

I had a feeling that was the case. And it turns out I've got plans on Thursday myself and leaving for Maine on Saturday, which doesn't leave a lot of openings left anyway. You really need to, well, get better first off, and then get over there with Tom some time. The risotto I had there was the best I've ever had.

But yeah - it sucks cause I really, REALLY need a day off. From everything and (love you honey) everyone.

I feel ya, baby, no offense taken.

We should work something out. I know your weekend plans didn't come together...

...Tell you what. Why don't you see if your sister or some friend wants to hang out Saturday and Sunday? I'll do my thing Friday night, if that comes together, and you can piss off on Saturday overnight to Sunday somewhere and I'll watch Em.

How the heck do you tell a man, "No, you may not be the man you've longed to be for ten years and show your wife how much you appreciate her"?

You don't, especially not in these initial stages of "Seriously? We aren't going to debtors' prison? You mean it???" I'd say that the best thing you can do is gently guide his purchases (the ones for you) so that you end up with something you would wear/use. Maybe earrings?

Besides, I always got the impression that your DH is well aware that you prefer cutty, blade-y things to sparkly, gem-y things.

(suddenly picturing MM showing Em pictures of people, and saying "who's that?" and Em looks at POTUS and says "total fuckcake,") It's oddly heartwarming.ETA: Connie, he's just enjoying being able to choose again. He's had a lot of choices limited recently, and I know from experience that being poor makes it worse.

Have you been spying on me?

(((Nora))) Feel better.

(((Aimee))) If you have the time coming to you, you should be able to take it whenever you need it.

Not literally, no. But I'm glad to know I was on the right track.

I would totally drive up and help out this weekend if it weren't for my cat. Tough to know where to put her, and I really don't think you need another furry animal about the place.

Yeah, but if you come up, I'm not going anywhere!

Dear UMB Library Website,

Why the hell do you have a star after a few entries on your hours page, but then don't tell us what the hell those stars mean, making me suspicious of your Spring Break hours listed?

No love,
