This week's free Presidential paperdolls have better outfits for Michelle.

What does that even mean, the Federal Reserve has it?

I have no idea. It's like a game of Telephone -- office manager-type employee was just relaying what the payroll service (allegedly) said.

oooh, right. doing my taxes. THAT"s what I"m doing Sunday. That I didn't want to remember I'm doing Sunday. Darn.

For your amusement: Havanese puppycam.

Perkins' weekend sounds lovely and I am insanely envious.

And Megan, I was going to offer to help you, but it seems you've got it under control.

I'm a little concerned because Chile has taken to the puppy very well and they play (Chile playing! For those who haven't met her - my dog barely acts like a dog, and she is very aloof towards other dogs, so this is *big*) and sleep together. However, easy-going Chile Pepper has turned into "I need to guard the puppy" aggressive, even outside of the house when the puppy isn't with us. I am worrying a little, because having lived with a dog-aggressive dog (Sage had been a rescue from a dog-fighting factory - where she was used as bait)for 12 years, and all of the hassles that go with that, I've been really enjoying the past 1.5 years of having mellow Chile. So I hope this is a passing, transitional step that will smooth over when hierarchies are established and the puppy is bigger. Right now it's consuming me. But I knew what I was getting into when I adopted Cayenne.

And office manager-type employee said that, according to the payroll service, the paychecks were NOT being held up for insufficient funds, only that "the Federal Reserve won't release the funds."

That doesn't make sense. The Federal Reserve loans money to other banks. They wouldn't have anything to do with your payroll account. I suppose it could have something to do with your company's bank being insolvent, but the Fed wouldn't intercede like that.

If I wrote RPF femmeslash, it would all be about Maddow/AM Cox.(I don't, but I could probably find a place to, the internets being what they are)

Thanks java, but I think I'm set. Juliana is helping me out tremendously.

I will be very happy when it's a done deal. I can't believe that I will be moved in less than two weeks after seeing the place. Crazy.

David is right. The payroll arm of the Fed is kind of the funniest thing I've heard all day.

I can't believe that I will be moved in less than two weeks after seeing the place. Crazy.

I was!

And Teppy, I don't believe the nonsense about the Fed Reserve holding yo money hostage.
