Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

and all I want to do is respond that salt is not a plant.

I wonder if she eats rice, potatoes, winter squash or dried beans raw and unseasoned.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Judge Judy is a trip, no?

Anything else is the kind of wooly thinking that leads to being eaten.

I am not sure I agree with this!

lisah, yes. It is the speakeasy bar that made me blink. Especially with all these liquor license kerfuffles. And I remember them pulling pranks before.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The stupid courtroom shows are definitely part of my coping mechanism during the moving stress.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, do not loan anyone money after you have filed a police report concerning them.

Good to know!

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

HA - so this is an interesting thing about Astrid. When you share a task list with someone, it doesn't automatically assign them all the tasks, it just sends them an email when you've done them. So instead of sharing my housework tasks with DH, I've just been sending him a bunch of emails saying "Jessica just swept the kitchen!" "Jessica just cleaned the bathroom sinks!" and so forth. I thought I was being all egalitarian and forward-thinking but instead I've just been a passive-aggressive nagging housewife. THANKS, TECHNOLOGY!

Ok, that made me snort. I can picture your husband checking his email and being all WTF? You want a cookie?!@@

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

You want a cookie?!@@

See, I'm more picturing DH going "You did a horrible job sweeping the kitchen and now your are bragging about it?" Really?

So, the HR woman at the job I interviewed for and I played phone tag today (I was in transit and my phone did not ring.) This means a job offer, right - HR people not being super-funny about April Fool's pranks?

So when I talk to her tomorrow, I have a big issue to bring up. I have made a verbal commitment to teach a seminar in DC for July 11-18 (which runs mid-week to mid-week.) I will be paid for this, although it's so far outside what the duties of this job would constitute that it could not possibly be seen as a conflict of interest. I also was planning to spend July 1-21 except for the week in DC at the beach in Cape Cod; Casper's enrolled in a 3-week summer school. How and when do I bring this up in general, and specifically, do I just ask for the the seminar, or mention the entire three weeks? I'd be happy to take unpaid leave.

Secondarily, I have never negotiated for salary on a job. Can anyone who has done so tell me exactly how you did it, or point to some good resources for doing so?
