Our wings are not tired.

Laughing at msbelle's tag line. Because, yeah.

Getting excited about son & DIL buying a house. Owner is sending the counter offer which they will accept. It is absolutely adorable, great location, and walking distance to her parents. [link]

Nice water views, Laura!

It is on Lake Osborne, which has great walking or biking track as well as pretty views. My house where my son grew up has an almost identical sunset over lake view, and it is the neighborhood where she grew up. Like the perfect combo.

Hivemind, I need advise. Kelly and Cory's wedding is going to be at the courthouse with only a few invited. It is followed by a fairly small reception.

We have had a few local folks, who are not currently in the invite list ask about a bridal shower. (Might change as RSVPs roll in).

So, I grew up with "dount invite folks to the shower who aren't invited to the wedding/reception". So, would it be tacky to invite them?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, that's so great, Laura!

I got roped into backing up baggers so they could and lunches, which meant I couldn't have lunch until, like, now. And my 15 minute morning and afternoon breaks are clearly a fantasy. Focusing on next week's fat paycheck stuffed with delicious overtime.

On the plus side, working the sale is actually pretty pleasant other than there just being too much of this whole work thing for my taste.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Suzi, how about "For a number of reasons, the wedding and reception will be very, very small and the guest list will be necessarily limited. However, if you still desire to be a part of the wedding shower, we would be delighted to invite you."

Jesse, that's a good idea and I thank you for it. I think, knowing myself, going to a meeting like that would just trigger a big ol' PA.

David, I'm gonna try a Sprite chaser tonight with the liquid NyQuil. (All I have are BBQ chips. Nope.)

I'm feeling okay enough that I'm showered and prepping to hit a good friend's bday dinner tonight. I'm driving myself, though, in case I need to hie myself hime to bed...and I'm taking decaf tea and a lemon in my purse in case I *do* go over to the house to hang after.

I'm livin' on the edge, y'all...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I JUST closed for the month. We are supposed to be closed by 10 am. Luckily this was stuff that was beyond me to fix and not due to my mistakes at all. STILL! I am supposed to leave in 15 min for a massage and I am also NOT supposed to leave until I hear back from corporate that all the closing has cleared invoicing. There is only he slimmest chance that both of those happen.

Art Crawl!!!

Hi all!

I was listening to "Backstory" - subjects: "Men Apologizing, Alabama Primaries and Net Neutrality". They told the whole Grover Cleveland story. . . I had no IDEA. I thought he'd has a child as a result of an affair: he had a child because he raped the child's mother and then had her institutionalized!!!!!

The world is just appalling.

Do I need to ignore history as well as the news? (I am not really being successful at ignoring the news. . . trainwrecks are fascinating._
