Well done, sj's BIL!
I well remember getting the house together before Emmett's arrival. EM and I in his room, standing on ladders, painting the ceiling, listening to Crowded House and Sam Phillips.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

The house is just about as together as it is ever going to be. Having the inlaws over last night gave us the push to finish things up.

Oh, and after doing all that work in the house, brother-in-law then said he was going to be useful and helped me cook. I wish he didn't live in NC. Although he is going to be here for the better part of a year on and off for a job. I must think of other things for him to fix.

That sounds like a pretty awesome brother-in-law to me! Yay.

He's more awesome than I realized. I don't know him very well because they moved shortly after TCG introduced me to the family.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay for sj's awesome BIL!

I survived the in-law's wedding party. Everyone hugged me. I don't like being hugged in general unless it is someone I know quite well. This was not the case with most people, and I hate being hugged even more since I've been pregnant. I finally just had to ask TCG to take me home.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I sympathize, sj. I am a hugger, and I've gotten much more standoffish during this pregnancy. (Of course, people touching my belly without asking contributes to my "stay the hell away" mentality. Sincerely, what the fuck are people thinking??)
But I'm glad you survived, and am even more glad you're home now.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Skipping and skimming to post this question I also put to my friends on Facebook:
I have a question for any of my friends who are lawyers.
Does a telework job for a large employer in a state which requires a $15 Minimum wage have to pay the minimum wage where the employee lives, or the minimum wage for the state where the company is located?
I know that where I worked telecommuting last year, I had to only pay state taxes in my home state, so all of my income teleworking was Minnesota-based.

I suspect if they didn't want to pay that wage they would just not hire anyone based there? No idea on the actualities.
