Are they *real* Vietnamese?
/Wednesday Addams
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Can't you put the kibosh on her, Sparky?
I don't feel like I can do that, yet. She's coming to us via an alum of the share, and so the nanny knows and likes her. I don't really feel I have enough ammunition to mess with the nanny's livelihood at this point (we each have a contract w/ her, we don't split her cost 3 ways), but I have spoken with the nanny about how important it is that I meet her because she'll be coming into my home every day, and the nanny was completely on board. They haven't signed a contract, yet.
As my DH will tell you, I hold a grudge, so a bad first impression is tough for me to get over.

Eight? How did that happen?!
Wow! I hope he has a wonderful birthday.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My sister and I are headed to Southern IN for a funeral. A friend's mother died suddenly this week. She's an only child and grandchild. We're going to provide some emotional support.
A member of my moms group just had her baby. She named him Dean Jensen. I think that name would be appreciated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's absolutely hysterical. I needed a laugh.
My head hurts so badly I want to hurl and cry. I can't believe it's a 4 day week and I am this badly off at the end of it. I need to call in working from home.

I had a baby Juniper born this week among my acquaintance; big sister Vivian. I also met a young man (a coffee shop server wearing a name tag) named Amirail today (with an umlaut over the second a. It's pronounced Ameer-a-eel, and is Arabic, according to him.
I can't think about babies right now without thinking of Jessica, though. I hope she is okay.

This doesn't belong in the same post as happy birthday wishes.
I have a Meeting From Hell that has gotten so out of hand it has infected Fridays. I'm starting to see the problem after putting together the spreadsheet for it. I don't think the people this meeting is supposed to manage are used to being held accountable for getting done what they say they will get done by a certain date. They just do what they can, move everything else to a different date and forget the old deadline ever existed.
My Friday is going to look a lot like a Monday.
