And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've been looking at NYC school info all week (pre-K applications for the fall start in March) and the midwinter recess thing just seems custom designed to inconvenience working parents. (Or alternately, designed as a gift for ones who need to use up their rollover vacation days.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Have an awesome time, meara!

I have Monday off, so I am planning on making it my laundry and home improvement day. I have two pieces of furniture from Ikea that need to be put together, and so far the house elves have been falling down on the job.

Because books.

Peru! Wow. That's awesome.

hip deep in pie

Peru would be exciting!

I have Monday off, because it's my earned day off, not a holiday.

It's for work, so I'll be busy, but at the same time, I'm also not paying for it, and someone who lives there is arranging my taxis and stuff. ...though I am worried about my level of Spanish (especially medical spanish) not being up to it. Fingers crossed!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

So cool for Peru!!

I'm pricing out airfare for Vegas to see my sister and her family at the end of April, and the cheapest I'm finding so far from Chicago to there is $450 on American. Yikes! I have to wait for my mom to schedule her foot surgery, also in April, but if it's when we're hoping she can fit it in, that flight to Philly will be only $300.

It's Friday! What are people doing this weekend, and how many people have a three day weekend?

I have a zero-day weekend.
