Friday 3-point status report. →[More:]1. My hairdresser is a miracle worker. My hair looks fantastic. And he has promised to give me a Whole New Look for my trip to New York in June (gotta keep up with those S&TC babes somehow).

2. I am cooking a ham and it smells wonderful. I'm going to have some for dinner, with cheese, salad and fruit.

3. I found out that I could order Cetaphil from Amazon UK, so I will get to try this stuff I've heard so much about next week.

1. Confused about what to do at work now, since it's my first week and I think I've pretty much finished the stuff I'm supposed to do and my boss is out of the office today.

2. Going to go shopping after leaving here, since I'm working only a half-day. I could just go home and do laundry, but this will be better.

3. Symphony tonight. Yay!

1. Sick. Head apparently floating somewhere around Saturn. Wonder if it may call home before leaving system.
2. So, uh, wonder what some whiskey and left handed cigarettes might do to my head later? Small icons on shoulders: Bad idea. Good idea. Bad idea. Good idea.
3. I haven't fit into these pants in 2 years. Stress, trauma & flu diet most excellent.

1. Tulips, daffodils, and crocuses are starting to really pop up and kick some ass (which is awesome because I never remember what I planted where).
2. Rain here all week, and it smells like worms outside, and makes me want to go to sleepy-town.
3. Finally almost recovered from a terrible cold (and feeling quite randy, which is the best thing about getting better).

1. Going to DC in about an hour to run a marathon I'm not prepared for tomorrow.
2. Working hard on some projects at home so that I can be all that I can be.
3. Watched two hours of The Phil Silvers (Sgt. Bilko) show last night, and decided that Phil Silvers is my favorite.

FlamingBore you will be fine, but you may have to stay up all night!

1. Spring and mild flu have hurt my productivity all week.
1.a. I woke up late today and was late to work. :(
2. I checked off everything on a to-do list for work yesterday. It felt great.
3. I want to buy a book, but I have bought a lot of books lately.

2. The company I'm temping for has a Financial Analyst position open and my boss would love to be able to give me the job, but
3. It requires a degree in Accounting or Finance.

Hugh Janus, is there an "or equivalent experience clause?
1) I'm going to see a movie about Wilberforce (the person, not the university) tonight.
2) I'll have a drink at my local before hand.
3) Afterwards the lot of us will probably have another drink somewhere else.
3a) I have had some ramen to coat stomach.
3b) There is a REAL ramen shop in Glasgow! :)

1) Got lazy over winter.
2) Lost 9 pounds, though.
3) Can't shovel gravel very long no matter.

1. This afternoon is going to be taken up with a couple of meetings that I'm attending to observe the drama but don't really have to participate. After that, beer time!
2. Going for a drive out of town tomorrow, and hopefully to see warbaby. It's predicted to rain, which isn't the greatest for a photo outing, but should still be fun and pretty in its own way.
3. I keep thinking about rearranging the furniture.

posted by matildaben 23 March | 14:11

Unfortunately, By The Grace Of God, I'm getting my equivalent experience right now. I'll just have to make myself indispensible so they eventually have to waive the rule to keep me here, or make friends with the folks in the Japanese Business Group, which just happens to be on my floor and share a breakroom with my group. Every morning I raise an eyebrow or two with my greetings and manners.

1. Allergies are making me miserable. I may have to cave in and take chemicals.
2. Should have been at work mid-morning, but am still at home in my bathrobe.
3. I need a good lunch but don't want anything in my fridge.

1. Went out to dinner last night and had a margarita. The boy slept the whole time. The girl asked if she could substitute broccoli for french fries. This gives me the happies.
2. I am already back to my pre-pregnancy weight!
3. All this happiness is making me horny, but I have to wait another month to get it on. The doctors call it "vaginal rest" but I prefer the term "vajayjaycation."
3A. I am aware that #3 is waaaaay TMI, but I love to say "vajayjaycation" and will take any excuse to do so.

VAJAYJAYCATION HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 23 March | 15:17

I've been on vajayjaycation for months now. Not through any choice of my own, however. Does it ever end?

posted by matildaben 23 March | 15:19

Vajayjaycation. I love it. I'm on that as well.

posted by gaspode 23 March | 15:26

jrossi4r - how can you be back to your pre-baby weight already?! did you not just have the baby? what is your secret?!?

posted by phoenixc 23 March | 15:28

I cheated by having severe morning sickness that made me drop 10 lbs in the first trimester, phoenixc. Brutal, but effective! (Plus breastfeeding burns a whole hell of a lot of calories.)

I'm glad I'm not alone in this, but I hope we all return soon.
