Congrats on the interview, Shir! Interview~ma, too.
Can't books on tapes help with that?
Yes, but unabridged they take the same amount of time, and I'm not keen on abridged. Plus I like reading. I do buy audiobooks from Audible to listen to in the car from time to time. Read The Time Traveller's Wife that way.
Aw, damn. Half of Matilda's classmates have RSVP'd yes to her birthday/goodbye party, and now the 61-63 and partly cloudy we've been promised all week has turned into undeniable rain. What to do? Station one person at the original (outdoors, in the park) location and redirect people back to our apartment? Start a cleaning frenzy now in anticipation of same? Stay in grim denial and act like the rain is going to stop in time so no change of plans is necessary?
Dammnit, it's early October in San Francisco. This is supposed to be our warm glowy summertime!
Is there a shelter of some sort at the park, JZ?
Nope, not a damn thing. It's pretty much all open playgrounds and ballfields. There are a few indoor spaces, but they're small and have to be reserved ahead of time, for a cost that until Friday we didn't think we could afford.
I think it's going to have to be the cleaning frenzy.
Good luck, JZ! The kids will have fun, regardless. Games and treats and voila! Happy puppies.
Best of luck figuring out what to do, JZ!
Yikes, JZ! Kids will have fun; you guys will be a mess. But you can do it. If I were in SF (I would have a hangover, methinks) but I would come over and help clean!
Tonight will be Hec Makes A Cocktail night.
Good cleaning ~ma JZ! If you get the house ready, it'll stop raining. Best to have both options covered :)
It's stopped raining and I don't think it will actually rain during the party. It's just going to be wet at the playground.
