Erin, you don't have to get dressed. It's my party and I say so.

I want to go to a party with yummy margaritas! Why are you on the other side of the country???

I KNOW! I want you to be here too! Not fair!

Daniel, the thing about that kerfuffle that has me the most baffled is WHY she's wearing that scarf anyway? It's fugly.

---

Yeah, Daniel. My mom was telling me about that last night. So ridiculous.

{{{meara}}}

I want to go to the party, too!

So I just got offered another job! I'll be teaching an online reading course to little 'uns (2nd-5th graders who read WAY above their level) this summer and will continue to be an adjunct faculty member for the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth for as long as I want. I may end up teaching any number of courses (course list here), but I'm kind of psyched at the idea of teaching reading rather than writing. The pay is crap, to be honest, but this shouldn't take me too much time and gives me a little cash to put towards the debt this summer.

Two job offers in two days. One that pays nothing and one that pays crap. ...At least I'm in demand?

A martini bar in town makes the best gimlets, with freshed squeezed lime juice...mmm.

but it sounds as if, in your assessment, you're noticing something not so great about exGFs behavior. At least I was kind of yucked

Heh. No, I think that's mostly just the voice of bitterness talking. Possibly a little the voice of "how come I don't have a lawyer sugarmomma" talking. And some the voice of "how come *I* don't own a house on Cap Hill" talking. Y'know. (Though it's entirely possible the girl is/was straight, I may not be reading into that)

Kristin, that's so cool! And you can say "I teach at Johns Hopkins!"

I think it'll be fun, and it's online! You can teach in your PJ's while eating hot fudge sundaes!

Burell, I hear you on the laundry and I raise you changing fitted sheets at 2 am.

You win. I've been using rubberized mats so all I have to wash are mats, pjs, and sometimes the blankets, plus any spare dolls that wind up in the line of fire.

For the record, the board doesn't keep versions of anything, so it can't reset like that. I can't think of any scenario in which the software could do that to just one person.

Weird. I definitely changed my email addy, then it went back to the old one without my having changed it back. Oh well, I'm not sweating it.

I know! I just did my phone interview in my PJ's and flopped on my bed! No hot fudge sundae, though, alas.

I think maybe I should get my butt out of bed and go seek food now.

Please do! We can talk books and drink huge icy limey gimlets and play bocce.
