Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Popcorn and a bloody mary for dinner to kick off the long weekend!
Dinner of champions!
Yesterday was the last day of school for Matilda. We made it to Japantown today and now she's at a friend's for an afternoon playdate.
Emmett's done with his Soph year of college and we're barely going to see him next week before he's off to be a camp counselor again (best gig ever he tells me).

I mean...HOW. NOPE. Does not compute.
Shit, I'm old.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If it feels any better, I'll note that he's still 19 until September. So he's a teenager and not an adult yet.

You need to speak directly into my tin ear horn.

Mm, that sounds good, Jesse. I'm thinking ice cream sandwich, risotto and a glass of wine for mine. But I didn't have lunch until 3, so when this dinner will happen I don't know.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
therapy did not go great.
so still NO repercussions for E failing a class this semester and failing other classes each of the 4 six weeks. Ridic if you ask me, but I am following the therapist's lead. we are going 2 MORE weeks with no new restrictions on computer time (which means all day while I am at work). he has agreed to do the following which I think is less than an acceptable bare minimum:
- take out recycling (ALREADY ON HIS CHORE LIST, ALREADY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, but not doing dependably)
- keep his room clean
- walk the dog each day (the thing about this is I have no way to check if he does it, I think I will install mapmyrun on his phone and have him turn it on for the walks, yes?)
and then this is the best which I will not hold my breathe for:
- apply for jobs at 6 places. Please note that he is only 15 and the only place that I know of that regularly hires 15 year olds is the place that I suggested we eat at once a week for the last 2 moths so they would know his face and be more apt to consider him for a job. Mac refused to go every time I suggested it and never went on his own to get an application. The other places he mentioned will not hire 15 year olds, but I am supposed to let him go see. Not to mention, SCHOOL IS OUT. any teen wanting a summer job has already applied.

No, wait, Emmett was just getting ready to go off to school. Your calendar's wrong.

Good luck with all that, msbelle.
