I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

HAH, 28 made me laugh out loud.

I've always preferred Boston to Manhattan. Maybe because I grew up with it, or that it's smaller and more knowable, or that it's more visibly older (and therefore has more personality and quaintness), but dang, that is my city.

Man, I have to go. (I wanted to anyway, in spite of Denis Lehane.)

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

Based on an email I got this afternoon, it would seem that in order to "increase efficiency and save time", the firm bought a new time and attendance system to replace the "email the HR people when you are out" system.

Of course, for the first two months (at least) we have to email the HR people AND use the new time and attendance system.

Well, Casper has a new "boyfriend." Yep, less than a week after O-dawg broke up with her. It's the older brother of Dillo's best friend, who is in Casper's class, and with whom Casper spent an hour hanging out last week at Dillo's soccer practice. I found out about this because we finally had a soccer practice that wasn't in the pouring rain, and the parents got together and gossiped. The woman who works as a wine sales rep brought wine and we had a grand old time. One of the other mothers told me that according to her son, Casper is a hot ticket. I am more amused than appalled, I guess, but really, 4th grade??

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

I ain't gonna lie, I think Casper has more romantic interest than I sustained in my 20s! Whew.

Yay msbelle!

Thanks for the wishes, all!

I assume not "jury," but rather...Brazil nuts? My dad uses that phrase, too.

Ha, I only wish my dad would say jury-rig rather than the wildly racist alternative.

Oh, happy birthdays to all I missed! YAY!

ION, I am roaming the internets, drinking caffeinated chai (Such a rebel! I am on enough pain pills to counteract, and it is so delicious and comforting, and my personal butler made it to order -- best take advantage of my pampering!)and best of all, SLACKING WITHOUT GUILT.

"Oh, I should cl-" NOPE!

I've owned my house 4 years as of last night. I moved in the 25th.

(Finally catching up on emails this week. My realtor sends me anniversary emails.)
