Maria, ballpark guess for packing dates?
Could be any time. It will all depend on when I get a job. I've given myself 6 months from the end of March to be out, worst case scenario.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So who can give me tips about introducing dogs to indoor cats?
Are you worried about the dog chasing the cats? If the dog is bigger than the cats, set up a baby gate just off the floor enough that the cats can squeeze under and into a room the dog can't get to. (I would put the litter box in this room). They'll be able to see and smell each other and the cats will venture out when they're ready.
I was so tired after work tonight that my dinner was a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter. Now you've got me wanting ramen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And the cats going after the dog.
I was definitely thinking baby gate blocking off the back half of the house.
I know it will work out--I just want to see if it can happen without any bloodshed.

I was talking about real ramen, Jessica, by which I mean ramen from a local noodle place. Like I said, all about the pork broth!

Jesse, I hear there's some really great RAMEN in the restaurant building just before Porter Square, so close you could walk to it from your parents' place. Including a noodle place that gets major lines.
Speaking of cool food, I had some Soup Dumplings at a Malay place in Chinatown last week. Not dumplings IN soup, you bite into the dumping and there's hot broth inside.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, there's that new ramen place where Zing! used to be, but it's a different style of ramen, apparently. The lines seem to have died down?

OMG you guys, I am so fucking tired. Why could I not fall asleep last night? NO REASON. And now I have to go talk about my family to a group of strangers and then come back and do my actual job, and I don't wanna.

I've had that! It's nifty. I have a recipe and it doesn't sound terribly hard (the trick seems to be to gelatinize your broth so you can. Fill the dumpling relatively easily, and my broth udually gels up well) but I haven't actually made it yet.

There's a place on the lower east side that does French onion soup dumplings. Best fusion cuisine EVER. (They're served in an escargot plate with the cheese melted over the top, and you pick them up with a fondue fork. The dough is thicker than what you'd get in a traditional Shanghai soup dumpling so they're not as awkward to eat.)
