Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Perfect timing for this convo!

....M got here yesterday night, and I came here to flail about how he now has ACTUAL ROUGH MAN STUBBLE, not fuzz, and when I said that he will rough up girls' faces with it and to be careful (he's het), he joked that's he's GOTTEN MIXED REVIEWS ON IT, and HOMG I am screaming internally and also I am giving him beginner's driving lessons starting this break and he might get his KS driver's license this summer and just transfer it when he goes back to DE for the school year.

I am shooketh.

Thrive to spite them

Msbelle currently I'm a seasonal employee. Hopefully they keep me on after the holidays. When I was hired the HR manager said it was the plan. But me being full time or part time he couldnt say. HpweHowever ver part time employees get 401k, dental, vision and a few other things.

I also make $9/hr and have credit card debt but this job isn't a forever job. I've struggled with my confidence about being able to work but my confidence is improving. On the other hand I live in a small town and the options are limited.

Casper is researching colleges (in 9th grade.) Many of you will remember WHEN SHE WAS BORN. She is also taller than most of you (but not me, yet.)

IO how the years go by N my mother has turned into the kind of old people who sends pears from Harry and David, and I have turned into the kind of middle-aged people who likes them.

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

Mmm, pears. I don't remember when we actually got pears from Harry and David (pretty sure gifts from my grandparents), but we used those boxes to package up gifts for ages. I might still have some holding yarn or notions.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My father's retirement plan involved getting appointed to the Papua New Guinea Supreme Court. I'm pretty certain my role models for retirement are skewing my expectations.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For the second year in a row, we got those pears from husband's aunt. I am not the biggest fan of pears, and they arrive right before we go out of town for a week or more.

So we ripened a few quickly, and the others are in the fridge, where they will hopefully keep for 10 days.

Retail with benefits is not a bad deal if your living expenses are low. fingers crossed you get hired on.
