See, I told you dreams come true!
I know I don't update here very often anymore (BAD ROBYN, NO COOKIE!). We've been having a pretty hard go of things lately. Not as bad as some, worse than others--it's never good to compare situations. But bad for us. BUT, I am happy to say that as of February 1st I will be starting a new, full-time job which is, literally, the answer to our ( Read more... ) -
And even more memes for your meme-viewing pleasure!
Supposedly if you've seen over 105 movies, you have no life. Mark the ones you've seen. There are 176 movies on this list. Put your score in header and repost.

It's Meme-time!
Go to Pop Culture Madness (http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/Pop-Modern/2006.html) and select the year you became 18. Snip the top 50 songs (or however many may be there) from the list and paste the list in your journal. Bold the ones you like, strike ( Read more... ) -

Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.

AHAHHAHAAA! We win!
We got a letter from the unemployment office which stated, basically, that ISU did not provide any evidence that Brian was terminated due to his performance (which would invalidate our unemployment claim). In other words, they've finally (in at least one place) admitted that Brian's non-rehire was not due to him. *sigh* That's very heartening. ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday, and the unemployment throwdown!
Er... okay, not really much of a throwdown. More of a "Huh?! But what if we do X instead? She didn't know? What if it's Y? Didn't know that either. What, exactly, DID she know?" Thankfully, we have a friend who used to work at the unemployment office before our state switched from publicly-owned to privately-owned and she was--get this--LAID ( Read more... )
