Right there with you, msbelle. On the hormones, not the stinky shoes.

It's sunny today! I can hardly believe it.

Much ~ma for those of you facing cancer, flood, fire, sick twins, hurt toes, bad shoulders and whatever else is besetting beloved Buffistae.

What she said. There's a reason she's Scrappy the Wise.

Virtual, non-shoulder-dinging hugs to ita !

I just had to augment my breakfast. Oops. I hope my kids get recess soon so they can snack up, because if I'm hungry, they're hungry.

Stuff laundry sheets in your shoes, msbelle.

ita, I'm really sorry.

Another round of "What Scrappy said" from here.

Work is slow like a slow thing that is slow. I hate waiting for people to respond to questions. I think I may take a shower break.

We will have the 3 year old and the 7 month old dojo kids here for the afternoon. K-Bug is in charge of babysitting, but I plan on getting some snuggle time in with the little one.

Yes. I haven't been on much because I have a new boss and am working. But the universe needs to back off.

I like my new boss, and she is very nice. However, she listens to smooth jazz (which I hate) and I can smell the air freshener in her office in my office. Weirdly, it smells like Irish Spring to me. So far, no sneezing fits. It is probably going to be problematic if I have to have meetings in her office. I hate having that conversation.

Ack, Sophia. "Smooth jazz" is not related to actual jazz in any way. You poor thing. Glad she's nice, though.

I've got a rather sweet Ford Focus for my rental car. The Enterprise guy gave me the "You know, we sell our cars!" spiel on the way over to pick up the Focus, which I was glad to hear since rental companies was going to be one of my choices for program cars to buy. They have a few lots locally to test drive and check out the cars, and they offer financing and extended warranties. I'll be heading over there tomorrow to check it out!

My boss approved my taking a half-day today, so I'll be leaving at 2:30. My first stop will be the local library to check out the Consumer Reports car issue, and then I'll do more research at home tonight for a list of places to shop at tomorrow.

Cool. Is it a 2012? (They're all-new for that model year.)

I'm not sure! The paperwork doesn't mention the year. I'll have to see what the manual says (they usually keep the manual in the glove box, right?).

Kathy, my parents bought a couple of their cars from Enterprise. Never had a problem with either of them (aside from the usual wear and tear).
