I worked 9-5 today and am staying in tonight to rest my back. There was already an ugly wreck on Lake Shore Drive by 5:30 (2 cars and a pink motorcycle, blocking 3 of 4 lanes).
Lee, that first thing is not so good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Msbelle, you don't have any grace period for sending in the reimbursements?!?

With my FSA, we had until March 31st to submit reimbursement requests. But it has been a while since I've dealt with child care reimbursements.
I just made a foray out to the kitchen. No obvious problems with the boys, other than CJ forgetting to set the timer on the pizza. Luckily it hadn't burnt yet. I put out some veggies...will be shocked if any actually get eaten, but at least they are a food option.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think so meara. I really hope that I am wrong though. What I just sent in is only for a little bit and I cannot remember my logon to the nanny website to get the receipts for pay periods, so I am looking at losing a little over $335.00. crap.

I am watching Enchanted. I've never seen it. SO charming, but OMG making me miss NYC.

So am I, msbelle! New to me, too. I think the chipmunk is the best part of the movie, personally.
My plans for NYE include my brother and my dad coming over for champagne and finger food. They will probably leave well before midnight, after which I will go a fling more angry birds at pigs. I really shouldn't have asked for a Kindle for Christmas.

I'm watching Spinal Tap with amyth and a few others. It seems like a good way to send out the year.

I'm watching Enchanted also, though I have seen it before and dearly love it. It is a nice counter point to the pew-pew noises coming from the living room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is the algorithm that puts a Smitten Kitten ad in the middle of a Google Earth ad my sister sent me to? There are no sex toys ads for my sister, and I...I didn't do anything obvious that would result in that. Nor browsed Smitten Kitten.
I bought 6 patties in Ja, and I just managed to somehow ruin one. It was empty when I took it out of the oven.
I can't stop staring at this: [link] It's so perfect. The picture, that is. The "burn" is one of the weaker ones.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We had an exceptionally good fundraising day (btw, thanks to the various Buffistas who have donated, you guys are awesome!) so we decided to celebrate NYE after all and went out for sushi! It was super nom, even though I bought sashimi instead of sushi to have less rice and ended up with a ton ton of fish.
But yeah, we celebrated and were done by 7:00pm. Yay for old people! I think there may be some Scrabble and wine for the rest of the evening, but overall, I think we're just happy and relaxed.
