I'm going to try my hardest. Besides being a mom, it's the only thing I've really ever wanted to do.
Besides own a Faberge egg. I've always wanted to own a Faberge egg.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I don't know if I mentioned in here or not, but my friend T, who several people here have met, is now officially a teacher! She started teaching kindergarten this year, after trying for several years to get a teaching position in her area.

I killed the thread, which I should probably take as a sign to go to bed. It would help if I slept normal hours tonight since I have to be in RI tomorrow morning to see some relatives who are visiting. I bought to cutest outfit for my cousin's baby at the Gap outlet tonight!

Excuse me while I roll my eyes at the woman at the farmer's market who was going on and on about how there is no scholarship money if your kid is of "European descent".
It's even more fun when they start ranting and raving and then realize that there's a person of color within earshot.

Ugh, hanging out with old white dudes from outside Orleans Parish today talking beer. It was OK when we were talking beer, but toward the end, we got to talking politics - I wasn't arguing, but I didn't back down from being a liberal (which earned the comment "whenever I hear people say they're a liberal, it's like they're admitting they just shit their pants") or feminist (in which the TV show "Maude" and the phrase "bra burning" figured prominently) and, basically, it sucked.
Now I've got a FB request from one of the guys.
Just venting. Casual racism, sexism, and Rush Limbaugh quotes.
JUST TALK ABOUT BEER, DUDES!

I'm not sure this woman would have been smart enough to even be embarrassed in that instance. She went on about the meeting she had at her kid's high school about financial aid and such and how she wanted to say, "Where is the money for us? But you know that wouldn't have gone over well" and she completely missed the complete lack of sympathy as the bread lady said, "No, it wouldn't have" or the fact that I just wanted to get my bread and get away from her as soon as possible.

Oh, those moments when you wish the "white flighters" would stay flown. Save that bullshit for Rocky and Carlo's.

Whereas conservatives* are like dogs who too stupid to know they shouldn't eat their own shit?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy if it's not too late I recommend going with the slightly larger shoes. By the end of the day your feet will be swelling from all the standing and dancing.
No, my feet actually come out of the shoes when I walk. That's not "slightly larger," and I probably didn't explain it well enough earlier. I do understand the feet-swelling thing, and that I don't want my shoes to fit snugly right off the bat. But there is no way I can do shoes where my feet come out of them with every single step I take.
I think the 1/2 size smaller will be roomy but stay on my feet.
ION, migraine still here. Considering trepanation.
I got the editing test from the AMA (did I say this already? I am SO loopy from the migraine meds), and the e-mail that accompanied it said that several people are testing for the position. I want to believe my chances are good -- after all, I have a LOT of experience in this area, and I'm pretty sure that my former co-worker put in a good word for me -- but I'm nervous about the fact that several people are testing for the position. And that stresses me out.
I mean, okay, I *get* that companies that have a position to fill tend to interview more than one candidate, because that's efficient. I know this. I just...didn't really *think* about it, if that makes sense, until the e-mail that said there are several of us. Ugh.
