My son does this..... it's all (IMO) non - important/could wait noise.....I tell my son not to, he apologises....then continues to do it!

I do this to Mark

*high five* on the charging of electrical goods Geoss!!!..... I myselph consider it a great achievement (gaaawd, charging the ipod requires a torch AND a magnifying glass to get the usb thingy in the hole )

This is an example of when having a child is handy. My boys can see the hole thingy for the usb in the dark. Oh to have young eyes again!

[celiac-mommy]

I have accomplished my to do list for the evening which consisted of:

plug in mp3 player

plug in laptop

I am astonished by my own industriousness....

You are simply amazing!

Actually, wanna trade places??

don't tempt me........I'll be drivin' up with a Kitteh and a Sweet Oui-zell in no time (they are both real People Persons )

the 3's of you's are welcome anytime!

:lol: Um.........I do this ANY time I bring something EVILLE into my house.......if you eat it all in one day, you just do NOT have to worry about it after that

I think about it this way: Regardless of WHEN you eat said food, it totals the same amount of calories. If you eat it in 1 sitting or 5, it's the SAME amount of calories! Pheel phree to eat it at once!!! :D

Can't wait for the cookbook Rache!! Hubby keeps telling me I need to open a gluten-free bakery . . . but would I want to bake if I had to bake??

Can't remember what else I wuz gonna say since there are no posts to remind me!!

AAAA!!!!!<--- excited yelling

So this morning around 11 I applied online for a job and around 2 they called me for an interview! Holy FRIGGIN crap! It's TOMORROW! These people really want this position filled... Um, what do I wear if it says 'business casual' on their website? Trousers, heeled fancy boots, and a buttondown? I gotta do the laundry....

Congrats & Good luck! My hub is in HR & he would probably say to dress a little nicer than they do. Maybe a blazer with the shirt. I'm assuming the boots are under the pants? Not too tight pants or any cleavage. You probably know all this but you might not believe the stuff women wear to work these days.

Oddly enough, I have to work hard to look my age. I tend to be so very conservative with my clothes that fun, friendly places to work think I'm stuffy and annoying. I used to work a hotel front desk so I KNOW what people wear to interviews, it's just unreal. A wifebeater? Really? And no, I'm not tucking my pants in my boots! I am planning on dark brown, perfectly fitted trousers, brown heeled boots, light blue fitted shortsleeved knit top, and also perfectly fitted tan jacket with 3/4 sleeves. And big buttons. Does that sound too stuffy? I'm going for fitted because I tend to choose loose clothing and it makes me look frumpy. And I can take the jacket off and the knit top will still look very nice.

Sounds lovely, bunnie! I didn't think you were going to tuck your pants into your best cowboy boots (unless its a saddle company) but.... I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

AAhhhh, crap! Can't wait to hear from the new doc, he'd better be good or I'll kick his arse!

Yeahhhhhh!!! Outfit sounds perfect! Good luck!

I'm in the middle of a sobfest right now. I can't stop crying. I've been asking and answering a lot of hard questions in the past 2 weeks and I just had a major realization that we want 2 different things from our relationship, I feel like we are moving in the right direction to meet in the middle and nothing I ever do is enough. He asks something of me, I comply 100% of what I have in me and it's never enough. I'm crying all the freaking time and I HATE it. Why am I not enough? I asked him this and he had no answer... I'm a freakin wreck.

I'm really sorry, I shouldn't dump. I just needed to get it out and my son's sleeping and I can't scream I'm gonna go bake that cake now.

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD DUMP!!!!! Er, I didn't mean that the way it sounded.... I mean, we care about you! Tell us anything you need to.

[mushroom]

Oh Rachelle, hon, I'm so sorry. Nothing much to offer but my sympathies and some {{{HUGS}}}

Aw Rah-shell I hate to see you so upset...please keep coming to us because that is what friends are for. I really hope you two can find some common ground about all of this. You've been working so hard in so many different directions right now, and you really need a break. I'm glad that you have your baking as a sort of outlet...

[elye]

Rah-shyellle!! :wub: Hang in there, dear friend... . . . ....you are doing EVERYTHING right. You are the consummate mother and spouse - - you can do NO more! My heart is with you... . .. ...I hope the pain goes away, and DH comes to see what a treasure he has. Keep dumpin' any time you need to do so!! (Crap, sounds like there are times you feel like dumpin' in his breakfast cereal, to be sure.. .). . ..... .

Come on.. . . .....open up the front of yer blouse to show off a bright red lace brassiere. . ...... . pants you can barely move in... . . ... . ..they may very well not hire you, but they will remember you...

You can cry on our shoulders (or computers) anytime.

I suppose it depends on what job she is applying for? Business casual is different for different industries.

Am home watching that homewrecker Rielle Hunter on Oprah just now.....quite fascinating.... John Edwards is a big phat liar......Rielle seems quite truthful........the world is mad

AAAA!!!!!<--- excited yelling

SO excited for you! Outfit sounds perfect. But sure, how can a nasty red brassiere and lots of cleavage hurt?

You probably know all this but you might not believe the stuff women wear to work these days.

'tis rather astonishing........esp. when I wore my pajama bottoms into the Trail Crew office (did nae matter)

I had someone bring a baby (& someone she met on the bus on the way over to watch the baby) to an interview. As soon as I heard that a stranger was with the baby in the outer office, I couldn't go on. I had to check the baby was still there.

again......the world is mad........ That candidate has probably shown up in The People of Walmart emails......

You can't fill a hole in someone else's soul. Your job is to enhance his life, not complete it, that's up to him to do. You are a vibrant, intelligent, loving woman and you are more than enough for someone who isn't hiding from themselves. You can't fix him. You can't make him see you for who you are. You CAN be the most amazing you that you are. Stop waiting for his approval, just be quietly awesome, as you already are. He will, or he won't, realize what he may be losing, but what he realizes is up to him, not you.

You are welcome to come up to Bainbridge for a weekend, if you don't mind construction and no kitchen. We can drink heavily and you can scream all you want.
