<-- is working on The Card still, after a break to order flowers for 3 sets of grandparents and 1 friend
<-- has been asking DH for weeks what he wanted <-- to send to his 2 grandparents and he has yet to respond
<-- figured it would be an okay compromise to just order what <-- thought was good and charge it to his card }(
<-- loved that plan until he left and took his card with him and is incommunicado since he left his phone here :eek: :eek: :eek: x( x( x(
<-- will be charging him plus interest ;-)

<-- is going to stop feeling sorry for <--self for a bit now :)

<--is getting sleepy
<--forgot to congratulate Robinella on being finished with the graveyard shift! :D
NTF
 
<--will, apparently, have to reply to herself

NTF
 
<-- agrees on the irony
<-- is debating making a stop at Whole Foods on the way home from the post office and buying brie and bread

<-- has a total of 68 cards to go out today
<-- should never have agreed to go in the first place, yes
<-- says you cannot imagine all the dysfunctional comments flying in <--'s general direction these days
<-- is *really* ready for the folks to stop with the "let's feel sorry for your sister" cr@p
<-- knows her life is difficult, but it isn't *that* difficult that we all need to do things "for her" like we've been having to do
<-- has made it clear to the folks that <-- is only going because they are making <-- go and <-- will not be doing this again ever
<-- says *that* conversation went as well as you can imagine
<-- also eats mainly mutually exclusive food with sis, so the food is going to be dreadful as well

<-- made it to the post office, so The Card is officially OVER
<-- still has to do a lot of stuff, but whatever

<-- also cancelled on the bootcamp instructor party on Wednesday that is 50 miles away and <-- would know 3 people of the 100+ attending
