LOL, Gail! She finally called. Turned out she had put my info on a sticky note and not transferred it to her appointment book. Then a family thing came up that took her out of town and, since it wasn't in her book, she didn't remember to call me.

It all is good now. She is now on schedule every two weeks and, by way of compensation, didn't charge me the usual extra fee for the initial cleaning. :)

I did a VERY minimal amount of cleaning before my mom arrived and all was well. She got in a few of her usual passive-aggressive digs, but she would have done that anyway.

I love having a cleaning lady! I don't have to feel guilty any more for taking off in the Cruiser or just watching a movie or reading a book instead of cleaning. I'm FREEEE!!!! :)

My husband & I are invited to a christianing tomorrow. My husband forgot to tell me and he expects me to get a gift. I am swamped at work and have no clue what I should get as a gift. The baby is a boy. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

You can never go wrong with onesies and blankets. Just stop in at a Target, Mervyns, or whatever is closest to you and get some cute ones.

Or, break from the norm and get something nice for the parents. Offer to babysit for an evening a few months in the future and give them a gift certificate for dinner someplace nice. The focus is always on the baby, which is cool, but the parents need some attention, too! :)

For my niece's baptism I got savings bonds. Actually, about half the people invited to the baptism brought savings bonds and my sister never asked for them as gifts. You can do the paperwork in about 5 minutes at the bank and give the parents the gift card (comes with the savings bond application) letting them know the bond will be coming.

I'm grouchy because my husband went on a fishing trip and I have to stay home and wash walls.

Karuuna is making me grouchy because I can't even be grouchy with her happiness interfering. Isn't there a happy folder somewhere here for people like Karuuna? :(

I'm stunned that a few people are giving up on BB2 before the week is over just because of the live feed situation. I mean...the petition hasn't even been sent out yet.

It's sort of like Autumn giving up and handing over a brand new vehicle to Kent. Why give up and let CBS/RealNetworks get away with this shite? Hang in there.

Um, because trying to watch the way they are dishing it out is making me crazy? If something make me grumpy and frustrated, why would I continue watching it? IF it stays free and IF the feeds improve to at least the standard set last year, then I'll probably watch. Until then, nope! I have better things to do, like get frustrated with my boss and other work stuff. :)

This place is new to me. Goody! I'm grouchy that an outspoken student in my earlier-than-should-be-legal composition class gave me grief about using "his or her" in sentences instead of just "his." i.e. "Everyone is entitled to his or her opinions." He was loudly proclaiming that this was just political correctness and such nonsense. Then other students got on board with the rabblerouser about using the term "firefighter" instead of "firemen." If "firefighter" is a good enough term for New York's finest themselves, than why is it such a problem for a bunch of coddled students in the Pacific Northwest?

BTW, my classroon squelching of the mini-rebellion was much more diplomatic.

I need some help and I am grouchy... I am in the process of buying my first home and trying to reaserch some neighborhoods... I remember some did a search and found out the home value of Nicole's home and I am wondering what that web site is... I need help... thank you!

Moondance - I don't know if this will help you, or if it's too late, but try www.homegain.com - you can find out the estimated value of a specific property that way - hope your search is working out - are you looking near Venice, or somewhere else? Just curious.

Thanks Weinermr! :) That is a very helpful site... I am still looking... I would love to stay in Venice but it is sooo expensive so I have been looking in Atwater Village, Silver Lake but that is also up there in price... I decided I will be winning trhe lottery soon!

Just a note Moon ... from one who JUST about finished buying first home (coop/condo) and moving ... one does survive ... but barely! If you recall I was active on the board for BB1 and Survivor 1 and the Mole and then I started the home search and move and well ... there goes the ball game.

It is fun though ... in some odd gruelling way.

Good luck. Scribe
