Been there, done that, Kat.
One of our regular babysitter's parents live in our neighborhood. She stopped by to chat today and see the kids since she hasn't sat for us in a while. After Owen got on the school bus, she asked if she could take Olivia down to see her mom. I had a whole hour to myself this afternoon and it was made of awesome. I could get used to this small town life.
sara that's so horribly tragic.
I'm watching lots of Private Practice which is NOT good for my soul.
I wish I had waited on watching FNL until this evening.
Kat, I'm thinking PP is not really good for you a lot of the time. Not for a bit more.
As to my long time ago friend...well, just think good things for her. I don't really have a connection to her anymore, but ...yeah.
The suburbs here have deer like DC has rats.
I think of deer as rats with long legs. I've had them eat most of a vegetable garden in one night.
A friend of mine worked as a landscape project manager for the Doris Duke estate. One of the stipulations in her will was that no animals ever be harmed on her property. The deer had pretty much stripped everything--like locusts. My friend called them the Damned Duke Deer.
In one week, I had four friends who totaled their cars on deer.
In one week, I had four friends who totaled their cars on deer.
In three years, my one mom totaled four deer with two cars.
PP is just not good.
Bones was very weird tonight.
My firm is being odd. The partners are cutting back on their profit sharing, while the associates got some bonuses this year, but not as much as usual, but they are not getting any raises, while the staff was told they would be getting raises (maybe).
I think that I spent a few hours today living an "It's Pat!" SNL sketch.
Oh dear. Somehow until I read this convo here it hadn't occurred to me I might not get my piddly little raise this year. Sigh. It ain't much, but I'd still like to have it.
Oh, and a thought about why give someone $150,000 plus $150,000 bonus instead of just paying him $300,000. Wouldn't that save the company a good chunk in payroll taxes?
