You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Hey other parents - is Care.com a scam or is it worth the membership price? I put up a free ad for an after-school sitter, just on a whim, but of course you have to pay in order to contact any of the sitters who respond. And I've gotten a TON of responses, some of which seem very good on paper. But I don't know if I want to plunk down $40 on this.

Has anyone posted on Craigslist for an apartment? As in: I'm looking for an apartment, here are my specific requirements? And had it be successful?

Jessica, I've heard good things about Care.com here in regards to senior care.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like my pixie, but I've been thinking of moving back to a short bob. The transition's annoying, though.

I'm pretty happy with my hair these days. I had it super short for a few years, post divorce. Now it ranges between chin length and shoulder length, slight reverse A-line. My most recent color took it a lot darker than I was expecting, but I really like it. It isn't black, just dark, dark brown. With purple highlights. Kept those.

I like my hair but not enough to share it twice.

So, ummmm, I'm home alone, bored on a Friday night.

I am recovering in the hotel room after a long day of shopping, before we probably go out some more tonight!

I have to work my first Saturday tomorrow. I have to be there by 6. Of course I had already scheduled a sleepover with one of mac's friends and of course it is the weekend before school starts. Granddad, the trooper, is coming over at 5:30 to be here with the boys.

overtime, overtime, overtime
