Whistle while you work…
Catchin’ up in the airport…
DB – I will definitely keep your sister and family in my thoughts.

You sound like my DW on those weeks that I work from home. Regardless, congratulations on the solo!

Funny you should mention that as I was working with a software company this week that wanted its support costs based on the Seattle-Tacoma CPI. I don’t think so, US/Urban CPI is much more reasonable.
TWINMAMA – I hope that the interview produces good results for role-model D!
Jc40/RobD – You “guys” get to have all the fun.
Footballmom – Good news from Kroger… employee discount?
Jackief – Hopefully D1 will find a job soon, D2 will recover quickly, and H will not mess up nurse duty.
YDS – Skip the bill paying. It’s way overrated.

Happy Belated Reluctant 30th Anniversary! I have a friend whose motto is, “Marriage is great! Everyone should do it at least twice.”

You left out…
If it’s eaten standing up = no calories.
If it’s licked from the spoon or bowl = no calories
And, of course…
“Slim Fast” still works when made with Ben and Jerry’s.
12rmh18 – I hope the METRO can survive a potential convergence of our kid’s worlds.
D2 was similarly nonplussed when I told her what the weekly cost of METRO was going to be. Oh well, at least you can rest easy knowing that chocolate when consumed with champagne is calorie free.

I’m guessing that was a wise decision. Probably not because they were so clean that they thought that DW’s other pots and pans would have an inferiority complex.
BTW, Portugal is between Spain and home, so S1 should plan another convenient stop. Did you go with the “unlimited budget” option?
I will be in ATL from about 5:00-6:15 EDT. Hopefully our gates will be relatively close again. PM me or send me a text when you get in.
ProudNJMom – D2 has been back in NJ this week helping with “Reunions.” She was staying with a friend in one of the dorms w/o A/C and they decided that it was miserable, so they went to stay at the friend’s house (Colonia, NJ?) until they “had” to be on-campus. Tomorrow she takes the train back to DC to begin work next week.
Tx5 – I guess it’s too late to get in line for adoption by your mother?

D2 was never into the whole dating thing either… mostly because she has zero tolerance for guys doing something that aggravates her which is what HS guys do for a living.
DW said that when she was home last week, D2 talked quite a bit about some guy at college which is very uncharacteristic for her. I am trying to figure out how to get D2 to have no guy interaction until after graduation… preferably post-grad graduation. Any good ideas?
