I'm giving Glee a try, but I'm not nearly as impressed as I might have expected. Why are the "minority" kids relegated to the backup singing and C level plotlines?
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.
'Potential'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

“Not dead yet!”
Oh! Belated happies, Liese! and that dinner sounds divine. Personally, I'll all for making the celebration belated if it starts off a weekend.

Happy Belated Birthday, Liese.
I am the pokiest worker in the world. The 45 minute break to watch PR probably didn't help. But I was folding laundry for most of that time.
No one room in my house is completely clean, though the guest room and the basement are close. I talked to my mother, and she said that I shouldn't bother to make up the bed in the spare room, because if she comes up, she's bringing her own sheets. She will probably bring her own food too.

Oh, that dinner sounds delicious, Liese. Kudos to your DH, and happy belated to you. Hungry now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday days, Liese.

Your mom is...well, bringing her own sheets??
I now have moved on from Liese-food envy to wanting croissant stuffed with springroll stuff. Which I can't get. The only place I know of is 24 hours of planes away. And I've googled! Ahhrg. Kathmandu won't let me go.

Kathmandu won't let me go
Well, and why would it want to?

This is the lady that once stayed at my apartment while I was away, and brought her vaccuum with her so she could properly clean my apartment. (ETA: I had a vaccuum, she didn't think it was as good as hers.) She also, on the same trip, finished stripping the wallpaper border in the bathroom.
She's 80 now, so she doesn't clean as much, but she still doesn't want to make any work for me.

Hee! That's sweet.
Hey, let me know when you'll be in town and anything you need. Oooh, I get to show my house off to you! (I'm abominably obsessed with showing my house. It's a sickness.)

Sue, if her vacuum is better than mine, she can visit with her own sheet anytime. I think I really need a new vacuum. Just don't want to spend the $$.
