Whew, home from work…off tomorrow. Pizza ordered so dinner in about 15 min. 😃 Watching last night’s House, so don’t tell me how it ends! I’m pretty happy with our new GSM right now. Hair looks great **rigs**! Congrats on the “new” cars **Vunderbob**! (I’ll get around to learning everyone’s nickname…just gimme some time.) ---

Ack **Haze** that would not be a good luck for you. Still at work. Working on my last couple of reviewing manager comments for appraisals. I am going to start beating my employees with the big stick - I am hear in the morning before everyone else and I everyone leaves before I do. I am\* Da Boss \* they should work around my schedule! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=ems] Ack **Haze** that would not be a good luck for you. [/QUOTE] So not only is it too matronly, it’s _cursed_ as well?! :eek: 😛 Gah. I suppose I’ll bite the bullet and get one from VS. The ones on Etsy are not what I’m looking for (most of them are either too big or lacy and frilly rather than soft and comfy). ---

It _does_ look nice and comfy and warm, but also like something my grandmother would wear. (Possibly my mother as well, but I’d tell her she’s too young for it too!) I have a plain dark blue robe that I adore from Target that I got for $20. Nothing fancy, but it keeps me toasty, was cheap, and is my favorite color. Tired. Ugh. I had a low-level headache all day, and I think it’s hormonal. No, I’m quite sure it’s hormonal. And that doesn’t make sense, because I’m supposed to feel _better_ when my period starts, dangit hormones! My mood is improved, how about the head? Huh? Huh??? I need to call my little brother, **gt** (I can’t remember your MMP nickname, sorry!), your post reminded me. Thanks! Why the _hell_ is one of my Google ads for a ketubah? ---

Hello everyone. It’s been another long day here. That sure is a pretty kitty, **FCM.** Name him Mr. Peepers because of his eyes. Call him Peeps for short. Or, you could just stick with Dog. Nice haircut **rigsy.** I like it. Of course, I liked your curly hair too. I’m still not really liking my haircut and can’t wait for a month to go by so I can get it cut correctly. I won’t be going back to this girl. I feel bad, she was a nice enough person, but just not experienced enough to deal with my hair and it’s “lie”. **Haze,** I’m glad you came to your senses re: the robe. It’s something a very old lady would wear. I’m tired, god, I’m tired, but I need to take care of some things around the house. Plus, the hubby didn’t eat before going to the Y, so I need to make sure there’s something for him to eat when he returns. I guess I should do something productive. ---

That robe looks like something _my_ grandmother would have worn when she was 102. It might even be too matronly for my mother, and she’s 87. :dubious: Of course, when you’re young and cute, something that’s suitable for a 102-year-old lady can look totally adorable on you. If you’re going for warm, it would probably work, however. It’s definitely more a “housecoat” than a “bathrobe,” however. Call your brother, **snowbunny**! And remind him to cash his check from his grandma before she stops payment on it! I was going to work this evening, but my weekly virus scan is running and it doesn’t get along at _all_ with my electronic file playing software. At least as far as running at the same time. So I’m sitting here watching _Mythbusters_ and trying to hurry my 'puter along. Because if it takes much longer, I’m just going to give up and go to bed. Stoopid work. _grumble grumble_ ---

Thanks, **Haze**. . . fascinating stuff. About the robe, I was just thinking that my robe was very matronly, but I checked the tag and I did get it at Victoria’s Secret, so perhaps I’m redeemed. 🆒 > [@doggio](#): > > I bet you butt looks nice, too. What, no groping? 😉 ---

Oh, yeah, nice haircut, **rigs**. (I actually looked at the pictures before you said you’d gotten a haircut, saw the haircut picture and thought “she should do her hair that way.” FWIW) Brother arrived safely, is having a business call right now, and is leaving again at some ungodly hour. Sleeping here allegedly gets him an extra hour and 1/2 of sleep. Sounds like he’s gonna talk it away. Sleepy. Off to beddie bye. Have you called **your** brother yet, **snowbunny**? GT ---

Nice new 'do, **rigs**. Mine never stays shiny new looking for very long, usually the first hint of moisture in the air has it going all fluffy and poodlesome. I’m too tired to be at work today, had a rough night on Tuesday then went out for beerverages yesterday so it was another late night. For some stupid reason I was awake around 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m planning on a nice early night tonight. On the plus side, TK will be at an away day with the golfers tomorrow so it’s going to be peaceful round here. I might even get some work done. ---

\*\*Rigs \*\*-- I like your hair. It’s the right color! 😃 And I like your new do; I actually think getting it to be **a bit** wavy/curly will be even better than the completely straight it is in the picture, so don’t lament it. \*\*Haze \*\*-- yes. Try it on again in, oh, about 40 years. Try going without a robe, for now. Post the result 😉 \*\*SnowBunny \*\*-- I think your mom has hijacked your computer, and “planted” a hint 😛 Hi **Boo**!

Hi **Lunch** - is it time to go home yet? I have a bunch of students to register today, that’ll be fun. I plan on doing next to nothing of the stuff Tin Knickers wants, I think it’s time to remind her that I’m supposed to be providing support for the rest of the team, such as it is, and not just her. ---
