DH had a really interesting encounter this morning. We were down at the parade grounds getting ready for the event and a sales rep for the company was complaining how the sole corporate sponsor for the event didn't get enough mention in his local paper (about 30 miles away). He asked DH, "It's a real shame. Who was doing the marketing on this thing?" To which DH had to reply, "I don't know that we've been fully introduced. I'm the Director of Marketing."

Have I mentioned how much DH hates working in Marketing?

aurelia, I wanted to sest the rate at $1 but once, DH forgot to put the money under the pillow while I was away so he gave Owen a coupon for a DS game ($30!) Thankfully, Owen doesn't realize the value of money yet so we should be able to get away with $1s in the near future. He lost two bottoms so far but hasn't lost any others.

Guh. I just finished taking this test and it was pretty flipping awful. BUT, it's over now, and no one in the whole world cares about my grade, so..... yay test is over!!

Sorry about the awfulness. Which level are you up to?

$1 seems reasonable. Coins or bills? Do kids still have piggy (or other shaped) banks?

I have a vague recollection of getting a quarter for a tooth.

elizabethW. My salon carries the line, and I love it. All-natural ingredients and non-cloying scents. Their products are handcrafted and they try to source locally in San Francisco. You can purchase the entire catalog on line if there's no local retail source

If you came to San Francisco, you could buy it in person.

Just got back from Sing-Along Grease in Dolores Park. It was very fun, but extremely cold. Summer in San Francisco, how I've missed you.

Thanks, meara. I am taking it now for the sed affects with my current AD. We shall reevaluate after a few weeks.

We shall see if it conquers the insomnia beast!

The Boy takes Seroquel partly for mental-health effects, and partly because it knocks him out STONE COLD every night. Like a sucker punch.

Thanks, Maria. Those all look yummy. I'll email them for an ingredients list.

Aaargh. Was walking out the door to meet friends dancing. Door locked behind me...and I suddenly realized I only had CAR keys in my hands. It being 1030pm I decided to go dancing, hope to crash with a friend, and call a locksmith in the morning. Am currently on friend's couch. Anyone have a locksmith suggestion, that it be cheap or easy??

I took the intermediate HSK, which stands for Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, which means Chinese Level Test. I speak rather well in real-life situations, and I understand TV shows and conversations that aren't being directed at me, but this test was rough. There just wasn't enough time to think about anything! But I just took it to see how I'd do, so it's not the end of the world =)

FWIW, sometimes around here the police don't mind picking a lock in an emergency, but Your Police Department May Vary.

Unfortunately, you're probably going to be stuck with weekend rates for a locksmith. This is the part where being a homeowner kind of sucks....
