Marrying Macon is very good. He is a swwetie, and they're in the same biz which is helpful.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just ate an entire 3-serving Uncle Ben's wild rice box for dinner. I shouldn't still be hungry for dessert, right?
Carbs just leave you hungry for more carbs, and by "you", of course, I mostly mean "me".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That guy's a punk. Boo.
I haven't heard so many "I" statements in my life.

OMG, I am so with ita. Am about ready to go off on people, which would be really bad for my continued employment. Especially since reviews are like, next week. ARGH. Am hoping it sticks to email and I can pause before hitting "send", because phone might be my undoing. AM SO LOSING ALL MY MARBLES AND MY HOLD ON ANY SENSE OF CALM OR REASON. ARRRRGH.
People keep pointing out more and more shit that needs to get done. I don't have time to do the ORIGINAL shit.
And then today, it was a SERIOUS Monday in disguise--I got locked out of an office (with all my stuff in it) for an hour, then there was a fire drill for 45 minutes, and then everyone had to leave because the office was closing due to the verdict/possible riots (...which is around when I would've had to leave anyway, but meant that traffic was so bad I missed my flight, and am still at the airport three hours after I was supposed to leave) AND when I get home it's supposed to be HOT HOT HOT, and my windows will not have been open.
ETA: Will someone just shoot me, please? At least then I can say I need to be on leave for the next few weeks...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord, meara. You need a break.

I got a three and a quarter or so percent raise. I guess that's good in this economy? Considering my review was off the charts awesome and I got a bonus that's unheard of last year, I know I wasn't getting dinged. I don't remember last year's and the one before was the promotion with a jump in the payscale.
That was the only good work thing today. I spent most of it chasing down a bug that we apparently introduced in Feb and haven't noticed until now. Sigh.

Oh, I have to share another good thing. Normally, the teens at the pool annoy me. Honestly, teens anywhere tend to. But these 5 guys, I'd guess they were late teens, were fooling around in the other empty lane. When I got in, one challenged me to a race. I told him only if I got to pick the distance. He was game until I told him it was going to be 50 laps. They looked at me, aghast. But he raced me for one (neck and neck) and then throughout the rest of my run, they'd periodically cheer me on and ask what # I was on and I'd flash fingers on turns to show them the count. I got a "damn, girl" when I finished up.
It was rather sweet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Hmm. Dinner was half a pound of ground chicken and half a pound of chopped shrimp simmered in a cup of coconut milk, seasoned, served over rice, and topped with cilantro. It was pretty good, but next time I will start improving on the recipe. Probably will add basil and corn, and maybe some lime juice.

Aww, that's awesome, sara!
Jesse, if I can just make it to...er...um...July 23rd? I will be OK. Assuming my review also goes OK, and I'm not weeping in my socks due to that. But if I make it through all that, after July 23rd everything will go back to merely difficult, as opposed to "OMG SHOOT ME". I hope. I think. July 23rd is the big deadline for a number of things. Some other things they're piling on are related, and SHOULD NOT be sent to us now while we're dealing with this, and they should've freakin waited two weeks, and will still have to eventually be dealt with (and will be a pain), but...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ita, I really should meet your mom sometime. Are they coming to the Open this year?
Java, we are hoping to only check two bags, one is the aerobed that mac and I will be sleeping on until the movers get there, so the other one will most likely be clothes, toilitries and movies/games.
The cats are what really limit us on bringing much with us. Since they count as 2 carryons, my dad and I will only have backpacks for stuff stuff and that will be my laptop and one set of clothes for everyone plus meds and a ziploc of catfood. mac's bag is all toys, SHOCKING! I have to figure out what small bag he can carry as his personal item easily and maybe put his change of clothes in there.
