I think it could be either. But if you didn't use "chérie", I think you would probably say "ma chère". But who knows with those crazy Cajuns.

In any case, if you are writing it you need to use "chère" ("cher" is masculine). They are pronounced the same.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, Megan! I remembered the extra e for the feminine.

Thanks, guys!

Amy, I love Gomez Addams and his declarations to Morticia.

And the accent. Don't forget that.

Mom got a new job at her old school! (They'd eliminated funding for her old position in an assy move eerily similar to the what happened to Kat.) This is awesome because a) she's still at the neighborhood school and b) she doesn't have to wait until the end of the month to find out what positions in the district are open (this has its own funding) and c) this means that she'll sleep at night! She'd been having stress insomnia.

Today was INSANE.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ha! A few weeks ago, I hollered out "Walkers on the left, standers on the right, please!". This guy moved grudgingly over to the right and said "where did that rule come from?" I stopped, looked at him and said "it's the rule all over the world, even in the commonwealth"

No it's not. In the UK yes, but not in Australia. Here it's 'stand left, walk right'. (Let me add that I never had any trouble with reversing that in the US.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm a total prison call taker. Eliminates the nervewracking first move of [link].

I wrote to prisoners when I was in high school, with a friend. We found them in ads in the back of tabloids.

Yay mom of sarameg!

Also, question for sarameg. How long do your home applied nails stay on, and do you have any tips for maximizing the time?
