    Holy hell, it took forever to get to work this morning.  Traffic was moving sooooo slooooow. Growl.

    OMG, I know! I gave up trying to get onto 196 and took the back way in from Jenison to GR.

    I went to a really annoying club meeting last night. It is so disorganized and the worst part is there is such potential. Trying to decide if I want to volunteer  . . . I already have so much going on but it would be nice to make a difference. 

    I know exactly how frustrating this is.  Good luck with your decision!

  • Deeder, I just found the story!  Fascinating and super creepy!  There's been a body buried in the floorboards of that house for over a century.  Eek!

  • Good mornin' lovely ladies! I've miss you all so much, but certain little someone has been keeping me so busy.

    I have to go about 8 mph in our neighborhood.  There's ice under the snow.  Was that the case on the highway?

    We watched the Smurf movie 2 weeks ago.  Henry would like us to call him Papa now.  And so I have the Notorious B.I.G. in my head.

     

    Big Papa lmao

  • So J has an appointment with an allergist tomorrow.  He has had bouts of hives ever since he was itty bitty.  And then once we started solids (just rice and avocado!) he has had eczema on his whole face and neck.  Sad  Poor little guy is so miserable. 

     I am kind nervous for our appointment.   I think I am scared of what I may find out.  (Silly I know).  But at the same time I would love to know what is causing his problems so we can avoid it and he can be more comfortable.

  • OMG.  My good friend/co-worker was just admitted to the hospital for a heart attack.  He was here at work this morning.

    Awww poor J!  Sad  Allergies are horrible.  Hope it goes ok.

    Oh, wow!  That's scary!  I hope he's okay.

  • Mira, I hope you get some answers from your allergist.  Hopefully then, both you and J can get some relief and he'll feel better soon.

    Poor baby J! I hope this appointment gives you a course of action that will bring you both some relief.

  • Mol: Scariness! T&P for coworker.

    My eczema has been pretty bad this past fall/winter. I can't imagine what is must be like for you and baby J.

  • T&Ps to your friend D&MJ. And to baby J! My skin has been horrible this season too. I need to see a dermatologist and get more cream...

    B is still waiting on the tow truck. He's so frustrated. Poor thing. What can you do.

    Very interesting article. I've been wondering why GR and Detroit don't do more things together. I'd love to see more of a partnership between the two cities.

    Wow about the skeleton. Hmmmm could you all continue to live there after that discovery?

  • So, I just realized that our intern isn't here, and I began worrying that she's in a snowbank since she's never late and it's not like her not to call/email if something is up.  I almost texted her to ask what's up.  But then I mentioned my concern to my boss and asked if she had heard from her.  Her response: "It's Thursday."  The intern works Monday, Wednesday, Friday.  I totally thought it was Wednesday.  Ha.  I'm glad I didn't text her.  Embarrassed

    Wow, that stinks!  I'm sure the tow trucks are busy today.  But still, that's crummy that he has to wait so long.

  • I sent a snarky email about an employee request to a coworker, and she responded to all with the status on an order, so employee can see my original email.  Awesome.  At least the email had a smiley face in it.

  • Hee hee.  I can't bring myself to teach my 3 year old the word "playa."

    Mira, did the solids introduction cooincide with winter?  Maybe it's just the weather?  I hope you get some anwers. 

    Bummer for flat tires.  It's crazy how we all want some free time, but it never comes when we want it.

    D&M: thoughts to your friend.

    Kasa, I'm having a hard time with Thursday-ness, too.  I just ran my garbage to the curb because the truck was on the other side of the street.  Made it: phew!

    I hope so. I haven't even unwrapped the cross country skis I got for Christmas!

    I wonder how many will follow him after Romeny wins SC.

    I can't imagine Santorum will continue.  I'll bet Gingrich is in for another month or so.  Though, the interview with his ex-wife looks to be pretty damning for the platform he tries to stand on.

    It seems that Obama vs. Romney is a given for November?

    I wonder if McCain would consider VP?

    Yah, it seems like Romney has it locked.  Although, did you see the news out of Iowa this morning?  They found more votes for Santorum and are now declaring the caucus a tie.

    McCain as VP... interesting...

  • Sooooo..

     I just applied for a job in GR!! Ts & Ps if you have any to spare. I've gotten a late start on the job thing because I didn't know where we'd be. Here's hoping!

    And B is at the auto shop. They said he needs two new tires, but four is recommended b/c of the weather up there. I told him to get the four just in case. I could think of a better way to spend $400 though.

    That sort of thing irritates me to no end. So rude. I can't stand when people use the Cc field or "reply all" with no good reason.
