I'm very tempted to go short and bangy...
...okay, that took me a moment to translate, before I remembered that's what you folks call a fringe, and it wasn't some kind of hobbit porn thing.
Speaking of which - in
my
country "laying a table" involves tablecloth, napkins, cutlery and a marked absence of exposed genitalia. But whatever floats your boats.
(Seriously, though - I am BOGGLING at the story.)
Also, Laura's link to The Terrible Loom may give me nightmares.
Yes! That is the one. She's a hoot!
She sounds like the type to give you safer-sex advice, so maybe you should brace yourself for The Talk....
gotta love it. When you plan for traffic. None. When you hope for none. Tons. I am 25 min early for dinner.
Also, seems all that extra weight I lost last year is back on from a few weeks of eating horrible. Not fair says I. Months off, weeks on is a bad equation.
Am in Denver, am exhausted, cat is under the hotel bed.
Am screwed - can't get a car loan until our house sells. Am in denial
lease? longish-term rent-a-wreck? get to know carpooling coworkers really well, really fast?
(((Suzi))) Can you look up a rent-a-wreck place? Not sure if Denver has one but some places will rent beater cars cheap.
Other option? Company car loaner?
Jilli, have you seen the book Cherise the Niece?
Suzi, could you afford to buy a used car really cheap -- like something from an ad in the classifieds for $1 or 2K?
::hugs Suzi::
Oh Suzi, how frustrating!
Jilli, have you seen the book Cherise the Niece?
Erm, no?
Thanks for the suggestions - I'm still wallowing in denial and scared to look at our finances at the moment. Moving is blooming expensive.
THOUGH, remember how I was saying the mover dude was telling me that our good were going to be overweight? Well they came in under, so my final bill is actually less than my not-to-exceed amount. Not by a huge amount, but still, nice.
