No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You have that effect a lot, don't you, sara?

That's odd, Consuela--I have Firefox4 on this computer (mac) and haven't had any troubles.

Because you are happily married.

RIGHT! Dammit.

We owe enough to buy a car, and not a shitty one. Sigh.

I believe in paying taxes, I really, really do. I just wish we'd had the money to set aside all this year to compensate for most of ND's income being 1099. It's a lot easier to be responsible with money when your taxes all come out up front. It's such a deadly cycle; we're going to have to be on a payment plan to pay 2010, so we won't have enough to put aside for 2011, and so on and so on.

Apparently, the 3-4 set likes me. Though Dominic could actually fathom that I need to go back home, he did say he wished I could stay longer.

Because you've devoted your life to teaching and that was such a selfish, shitty thing to do.

Heh. That too.

Pix, I'm sorry. That really sucks.

That's one of the things, I am really researching so I can try to be as on top of it as possible, because I foresee this being a PITA for me, hoping I can get this freelance writing/editing thing really working for me.

I am so sad about Sass. I don't know anyone besides Buffistas in DC; I wish I could help more.

It's making me crazy.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just sent the word about Sass to some more dog people. They have connections to lots of dog people

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just wish we'd had the money to set aside all this year to compensate for most of ND's income being 1099.

We literally just finished paying off the $14,000 we owed four years ago, before the DH knew how to manage taxes as a freelancer.

I'm glad you guys finally got out from under that, Scrappy.

I knew how to do it but couldn't this year due to a bunch of back taxes I had to pay off from the years before I took over the finances. It's no fun. I'm just worried that I won't be able to get on top of it when we're always paying off the year before now.
