lisah, you should totes call up my imaginary Internet bf Nate. He's good with stats and he has all kinds of time on his hands now that he doesn't have to blog every day.

We're going out to celebrate the one of my projects that went live last month. Do I have the language to explain how much I'd rather be lying down instead of guest of honour?

Not even remotely.

Ungrateful sow.

Apparently the thing where I saw the CIO eating lunch alone (like, her whole row was abandoned!) and decided to sit next to her and chat about random stuff was kind of...something. I got a couple snarky remarks (nothing hostile, but along the lines of "She doesn't know who I am!" sort of things (she does--we talked about your outfit), and my boss referred to it in a kind of weird way in a phone message.

High school is real, man. And it is still with us.

But I have to go do dinner, and break the news that we're gonna miss the 9th December deadline. Wahoo!

LeN! Congrats!

Goooo le nubian's house! Gooooo lisah's husband's condo! We're getting our first rent check from our house next week. (We rented it to librarians who work with my ex-coworkers, so we are pretty sure they will be good tenants. People we know are *watching* them.)

In other news, Casper, aged 9 and 2.5 months, now wears a women's 7 shoe. And my mother sent a dress of mine, from when I was 10, and Casper can't even get it zipped. She's going to be the tallest woman ever, poor boo.

My house is fucking sold everyone. I am so thrilled

Oh, that's fantastic! Congratulations!

And omg how can Casper possibly be so big? She's just a wee little thing!

I've decided that I'm going to make next week a mini-vacation, even if I am spending most of it moving my parents. I'm going to sleep in and go for long runs with the dog, and maybe go to the movies or something, between packing and baking.

hahahaha I am seriously so remedial. I just had to create a little Excel spreadsheet to help me figure out how a median is calculated.

Yay on the house, le n!

Whoa. Franny is now wearing a child's size 2 and is THRILLED to be out of the toddler sizes finally. If those girls ever meet they are going to look like Mutt and Jeff.

Is 9 5th grade? I reached my full adult height, shoe size etc in 5th grade. I was tall, now I am short.

Lisah, my uncle is taking a free online statistics course through Coursera.

Yay le nub and sarameg!

Yay for house selling and renting!! Fabulous news. Concentrating all my house~ma to Tom and Nora, now... unless I'm missing someone.

And certain non-professional conferences, if memory serves.

Right. How could I forget the one with an audience? And then there's the volunteer trips, which aren't exactly conferences. Travel. We'll just say travel.

Cannot believe Casper is so tall. Meep.

Casper is in 4th grade, and if she takes after me she'll be a late bloomer (I didn't get my period until I was 14.5; she's certainly not developing at all yet.). She's currently 4'7", and based on the rule of "double your height at 2" might hit 6'1".
