I love those pajamas! My dream is to have a whole drawer of matching pajamas, but I always end up losing the top or the bottom. (Not in a fun way, mind you...more along the lines of getting eaten by the dryer or lost in my moves.) Eventually I just gave up and switched to nightgowns.
My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.
...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...

Now if everyone would follow along and sing-along... Ready? 1 - 2 - 3.... Sing!
Down right sexy, don't you think Amy?
Ha! Sorry about that Solo!
Hey A - I can't wear nightgowns. I get all twisted up, potentially leading to tripping and falling on my way to the bathroom.
Thanks OC - Being a lesbian, it's a positive thing that flannel is a good look for me.
Blondie - I was impressed you can spell Eor. I can't.
Lori the eye thing rocks. I highly recommend it.
Thanks Rubye Jean. Glad I didn't scare you away.
I think I need some Sock Monkey attire H. Maybe a Sock Monkey eye mask.
LOL Chewy! It would be even worse if I stared to 'bahhh' in my sleep.
Downright sexy McMeaty. Next stop, Magic Lantern.
