Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Because books.

I would have called in sick, except I'm working from home

You could stay in your pajamas, though!

School's open today! It's a new year miracle! Even if it is still snowing. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I called the place I'm going for a massage later, and they said it was OK to come in if I felt OK. I kind of fudged the timeline -- I started getting sick on Friday, but have gotten worse every day since.... But I really want a massage!!

I actually showered and got dressed. I mostly stayed in my pajamas yesterday.

Ooh, Casper and I could make good use of a small (like, 3-4 bottle) care package of nail polish rejects. We have blue, but no green or purple or silver.

Also, I am looking for a very very pale pink that is NOT sheer, and preferably is available in the supermarket or Target. I have toenail discoloration issues, but want them baby blush pink! Recs?

Well, it's worth it for a massage, for sure.

Sara, sorry you are still sick (LOVE those shoes and the ones shrift got). I too am on an austerity budget so...no shoes for me.

I am done throwing up it seems. This is good. It was just a really mild form of what everyone except Noah had at daycare (like all of the parents and 3 of the 5 kids).

Also, some shoe fairy needs to send these to me: [link] LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Throwing up is the worst! Stupid germs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was so happy to come in to a mostly clean desk. The only things left on my desk were things with issues, so now the task becomes for me to see how fast I can get others working on my issues when thwey are just back from days off and have work piled up of their own.

After a quick go through of what I can easily get moviong, I am going to update my 101 list and get it shaped up for what I hope will be regular updates this year.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

flea, I'm pretty sure I've got several of all three colors you want (I've got to get rid of my own stash because Hec's sensitivity to chemical smells is getting worse; we'll be transitioning to a no-strong-odor brand Plei recommended ages ago, and I've got a medicine chest shelf full of colors that need homes).

Please tell her she should sell them when she decides to change it. Preservationists of midcentury houses are ALWAYS looking for them.

I was gonna say! She could probably fund a giant chunk of the renovation just by selling off everything in the old kitchen.

Sometimes when I'm home sick I let myself wallow in all those renovation/flipping/whatnot shows, but I absolutely can't watch "Moving Up," where you watch people sell their homes, then watch the new owners redecorate, then have the old owners come back to revisit. Sometimes the redos are drastic improvements, but sometimes they're ghastly and sometimes they're just boggling. The one that flipped my "Can never watch again" switch had a couple gleefully sledgehammering a perfect, exquisitely maintained pink '40s-early '50s kitchen -- sledgehammering, my hand to God -- and then redoing it in Early American Hunting Lodge. They were vile, vile people. Vile. Did I mention vile?
