Winter ? I hope it lasts past a week from monday when everyone gets back from vacation and her commute goes to hell.

Yeah, it might start to suck a little more. And I'm wary of the weather. It'll probably dump snow this year because I'm here and unprepared.

I would just like to say that my job is still awesome. It is the best job in the universe. It was worth the wait, I think. I finished a really well-written draft 2 minutes before quitting time today. I'm super proud of it. It might get ripped to shreds in the review process, but it was a great way to start the weekend.

So glad to hear you are enjoying your career choice!

Holy %#$@! For the first time in memory, I got paid within hours of submitting my hours!

How did your commute go now that "Terrible Tuesday" is upon us?

Not a problem! No trouble finding a seat either end of the commute.

Orion's cousin Dominic is just a month younger than him but he's a lot more mellow. At the 4th of July party Orion never sat still while Dominic was happy sitting with Mom. The two cousins went to Disneyland a week or two ago and Orion, a pro when it comes to the Park, made sure to take care of Dominic (I so wish I had been there). Orion was holding his own water bottle and chattering away (baby gibberish) to Dominic, apparently telling him the importance of keeping the water bottle handy because he went around to the back of the stroller to get Dominic's for him. Then in the Tiki Room Orion and Dominic were sitting together and Orion put his arm around Dom and pointed out all the things in the room he should notice.

Oh my, the cuteness. :cool:

Mmmmm... Dark chocolate...

The Rat started his job today! Two incomes! Bliss!
