Posted a couple of photos under a light lockdown on the book of face.
Yeah, MS starting in fifth seems young to me too.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Your boss thinks you're awesome, Steph. As is right and proper. Go you!

Our wings are not tired.
Yay Teppy! I suspect a large number of us expect that all those people around us that tell us routinely how brilliant we are might catch on one day that we are frauds and don't deserve to inspire confidence. Just guessing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice going, Steph! I'm going to say the freakout is normal for a short reaction, but don't let it keep you from pursuing the job!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Teppy, you are not right in the head.
Your boss at the AMA probably goes to bed every night thinking, "Thank god I found Steph."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tep, you know this, but the brain weasels are not your friends.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Your boss at the AMA probably goes to bed every night thinking, "Thank god I found Steph."
Tim too.
I mean that Tim probably goes to bed every night thinking that, not that your boss goes to bed thinking "Thank god I found Tim." For all I know he hasn't found Tim yet. He might be playing hard to get.

Calli, hugs to you too. Boo layoffs.
Flea, that house is gorgeous!
Also, imposter syndrome Teppy! Go get em!
My ankle seems to be healing, except I'm limping all funny which is making OTHER parts hurt that weren't originally injured. Oy, body! Quit acting all middle-aged and shit!

I found the old listing of my cousin's new house (well, 1903 Arts & Crafts new old house!) It looks even better with 90% less clutter, but even so, it KILLS me [link]
All that trim. The builtins! (That's not a piece-of-furniture buffet in the dining room- it is part of the house. ) Stained glass original owner, too. New cousin-in-law has more pix on fb and gah! The bathroom has custom cabinetry too!
House is in good hands. She may have signed on as a farm wife, but her background is in architectural interior design and loves old stuff. I don't worry about her- she's already carved out an identity independent of farming (teaching dance, talked herself into a retail job in a regional clothing store based in the small town that shortly is expanding into home decor, plans eventually to open her own antique store.) And this is just in the year before the wedding. She did grow up in a farm town, though, with farm family.
I worry a little bit more about the one two years in with a 3 month old. One, they don't live in town anymore and a couple months before the baby came, she gave up her journo job in a town an hour away (she wasn't going to do the commute in the last trimester in a MN winter.) Two, in talking to her, she seemed a bit lost with all the changes in the last year (built a house out in the country, moved out of the city, new baby.) But that just might be the lack of sleep!
Anyway, I'm glad they both reached out to me on fb.
