Yay, Nora! (Wait, is that a good thing or a bad thing?)

smonster, congrats! And I am reminded to pay a couple bills.

askye, glad the window is replaced and the cats are happy!

After 4 days I have finally managed to close my accounts with PNCBank. Oy. Except for my mortgage, everything is now with my credit union. I'll move the mortgage over there too if I can get it to work out.

Oh, change of weekend plans! My sister has decided she's tired of spending every weekend working on one of the houses, so instead we're taking a road trip to Blacksburg and rummaging through antique stores tomorrow. I approved this plan.

Going to see Greg Proops tonight in a local comedy club. I lurves his snarky self, I does.

I feel bad, Will came over and we went to dinner and afterward I was kinda in a mood. So he left. I didn't really want him to leave but I didn't know how to articulate what I wanted and I'm feeling tired and cranky.

And he said maybe he shouldn't try to see me so much while I'm going through this. Which isn't what I want. So tomorrow we have tentative plans to go to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch FSU vs Wake Forest after my needle felting class.

Must be political season. Crazy right wing uncle (well, actually, it was his wife this time) sent me a youtube link with a "You must take time to watch this". It was a video saying that Obama is a secret Muslim, see, he's admitted it in all these speeches. And then proceeded to take snidbits of a dozen speeches to form sentences. They were mostly the speeches he made after the election and before he was sworn in, when he went international, to introduce himself, and try and calm the world to America, and undo the crap Bush II had done. Anyhow. I stopped the video, didn't watch the whole thing, and did a reply all to the email, saying the video was racist, and bush league. And a) who cares if he is a Muslim, 1st amendment says we can be whatever we want. and b) just because he has family members that were doesn't mean he is. And, see point a)!

Ugg. Should know better than to click those, especially at work.

It's a good thing, I think!

askye- ugh, I hate that feeling- hope you and Will figure out how to navigate this.

Dear Jeebus, she responded with:

I just keep hoping you will be able to see the truth.  If Obama gets re-elected, we will become residents of Texas and hope they do secede. I just have such a hard time believing you can't see Obama for what he is.  Yes, we are radically different when it comes to politics.

Oh, I dunno, an educated man trying to make things right? I swear, it's hard living in my family sometimes. How I turned out as I did is a real mystery.

seriously omnis? That'd be one family member I'd have to stop talking politics with. Well OK I'd probably couldn't stop myself from pointing out, four years from now, the lack of Sharia laws in the US.

my brother got the teaching job. It was lucky too. I was about to Ava Crowder him.
