Congrats Tep and Dr. Otter!
Glad to hear that it wasn't as bad as you thought, Calli.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm getting amused at couponing facebook groups this week. There are about 15 different ways to get free (or better than free) Dial body wash right now. People on couponing groups generally post pictures of all the stuff they bought, and then list how much each thing cost, what coupons and deals were used, final cost, rebates, and so on. I just scrolled through about 20 pictures that all had at least 10 bottles of body wash, and then maybe a bit of food, too. (I don't even use the stuff, but with the combinations of coupons and store deals I have, I can essentially end up about $5 richer than I started after buying a bunch of it, so I'm getting it and donating it.)

This morning, I had an anxiety dream about my new job. Then I got a call from the company I interviewed with in December. They're the ones who didn't respond to my follow-up email until April or May. This woman had been given my name by the person I originally interviewed with, and they had another position, and did I have time to talk?
I said, "Sorry, I'm starting a new job on Monday." I did not say, "Maybe if you'd called sooner than six months later, I would have been available."

Congrats Teppy and Debet! And Dana, that's the best way to be able to respond!
Allyson, you can also check Smart Bitches Trashy Books--they've got great helpful reviews.

If you itemize your tax deductions, you may be able to gain a little bit more after the first of the year.

Pumpkin probably needs a tooth out and Loki definitely needs a cleaning, if not a tooth out too. Bah. Next week, if their blood work comes out good.

lisah! When you thought you were going to need to reglaze your new-to-you-tub, did you have a goto outfit?
We didn't but I know someone else who had it done recently and I can get a rec from them.

Timelies all!
Congrats to Steph and to Doctor Otter!
In unrelated news, there was a bear on my work campus. Not on my side of the campus, but still, a bear.

As funny as Colbert is WRT to bears, I think my first instinct is always going to be, "You made a bear! UNDO IT! UNDO IT!"
