Happy birthday, Plei!

Hi ya, Tiggy!

Me no wanna be wakey, either, vw.

P.S. I do want a transcript of the drunk dialing though. Alas, I doubt that's likely to happen.

Now tell us we're pretty & smart!

every single one of you!!

i'm hungry this morning and nothing is doing the trick. i've had one strawberry pop tart (blech!) and one chocolate chip granola bar. it's slim pickens 'round these parts. maybe i'll have some pretzels...

Happy Plei Day!!

I'm up much earlier than I want, 8:00am. Considering I didn't get to bed until 2:00am, that is early. My coffee is done, but I'm too lazy to get out of my chair and get it, because I want more sleep. And, gronk, dontcha know.

Happy Plei Day!

I'm going for an hour swim today. Yay? I have purchased chocolate milk in advance. Also, I desperately need a nap.

I, like WS, want the transcript of teh drunk dial.

Words cannot express how much I do not want to deal with this party thing tonight. My lime tarts, which taste decent (side note: next time, make the effort to go to Whole Foods. The quality of limes really does make a difference here, they could be awesome) look a mess because they didn't want to come out of the pan. Feh. Plus, haven't packed for the F2F. Plus, guests were insistent on helping, so I say "okay, you can pick up the beer". Last night, they say "oh, we're planning on waiting until you get home and can drive to the store so we don't have to carry it". Not that it doesn't make sense, but if I'd known that, I would have just fucking gotten it myself earlier so that I don't have to blow time tonight. ARGH.

Vortex, you need to get some very good, very expensive beer and hand them the bill.

In other stupid people tricks: the garbage disposal in our office kitchen was off and water was backing up in the sink. Our office mail clerk - who does this n' that around the office - unclogged it. Here's his report:

Apparently someone was so appreciative of how well the garbage disposal worked that they decided to tip it. Yes tip it; they left a dime in the disposal. There are two problems here. First and foremost garbage disposals weren’t designed to handle coinage. Secondly said person was cheap and mean. They could have left a quarter, quarters are easier to fish out than a dime. With quarters I stand a chance of losing a finger or two. With dimes I could lose a whole hand. Please in the future leave all tips for the garbage disposal on the dining room table in the cup marked cheap tipper. Thanks

Happy Plei Day!

Annabel has a weird rash on both upper arms and a bit on her legs that's been there at least since yesterday morning. Since it's worse this a.m. rather than better (after bathing her and putting hydrocortisone cream on all the red spots before bed), I'm keeping her out of preschool, staying home, and planning to call the doctor right at 9:00 a.m.

It's probably nothing, but I'd rather keep her out and blow a sick day to have the doctor roll her eyes and say "just a contact rash" than do nothing and have it keep getting worse and turn out to be an issue.

Happy Birthday, Plei!

Okay, advice sought?

I've been part of a fourway threaded conversation on Facebook with 3 lads, of the you-get-messaged-when-someone-adds-to-the-thread variety. Which is a little more inclusive than this kind of a thread, isn't it? (I mean, if you SPECIFICALLY wanted to address yourself to 2 people, you could just message the both of them, rather than addressing them plus another person in said thread. Yes?)

Okay, so, to give a context, after much discussion leading up to 2 of us going to see a play, and subsequent postmortem of said play, and random blather, spread over a week or 3:

S: (June 5th, replying to R) BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHB...Will grab you and J one night and talk to you about this idea i had [for a play]...or a few of them anyway.

R (June 5th): K, next week some time?

S: (June 5th) Sounds good, will ring you.

J (June 5th): Sounds good! (I just love to have the last word! Minge!)

R (today): Are we meeting then, or is this just a tease? I fancy going out this weekend and getting some proverbial minge. Is this possible?

J (today): I'm in Phuket Friday to Sunday. But let me know during the week, except for Wednesday.

S (today): I can't do Wednesday either. Mon?

...so, I'm a wee bit unsure whether I'm included in this. What do you think? I'm not, right? I mean, I like all 3 of them a lot, and would like to go along, but do we think this is a No Gurlz Allowed! kind of thing? Ish? 'Cause initially S was talking about this play, but R is just wanting to go out and get wellied, clearly. (But not ACTUALLY go pick up girls, because he's gay gay gay, whilst the other 2 are straight. So there isn't that particular No Gurlz Allowed aspect to the conversation.)

Sorry, I realise this must seem mind-numbingly banal and indeed lacking in social skillz, but I've just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to reply without sounding either needy or passive aggressive or weird. And I figure you guys will let me be needy, passive aggressive and weird and not mind too much, so, er, here I am, doing that.

I was going to post this:

Hmm. Is this hypothetical thing a Boys' Night Out?

(Of course, I am often mistaken for a bloke, due to my towering height, deep booming voice, flat chest and general air of dykey butchness, so that's not neccesarily a problem.)

(...crap! No, that's someone else I'm thinking of! So - still not particularly bloke-like over here. Would a false moustach help?)

Sorry, I'm rambling. But I wasn't sure whether you were wanting to go out with the lads, or just go out. I appreciate that there's maybe a slightly different dynamic with a random girl in the mix.

Clearly I am awesome, and inordinately fond of all 3 of you, but if you're thinking of a Just Us Blokes thing, that's fine. You bastards.

but I'm just staring at the screen in a frozen bunny-in-the-headlights way, overanalyzing like a girly girly girl. Somebody slap some sense into me?

eta (Yes, yes, S is the BlokeILike. J is his top mate. R is a guy I like lots & am going to see a movie with next week.)
