Shira, that just about made me cry - in a good way.
Well, you have met my mother (the force of nature that she is) and even financial independence has its limits.
Sometimes getting rid of patterns that have been a lifetime in the making are next to impossible.
BTW - my mom has now decided that I should become a psychologist, because, you know, being a VP and Asst General Counsel at a Fortune 100 company is something that just about anyone can do...
After I gave her some good advice, she actually suggested that I go back to school to become a psychologist. Trust me, no matter what you do, or how well you do it, some parents will never be satisfied.
On another (and unrelated note) - I ended up with some stomach bug, so I called my friends and told them to stay away. I guess Zander will be giving a very limited performance tonight.
You're on your way, Shira! Way to start the year.
Sorry YWiW - that sucks. A friend just canceled tonight for the same reason.

Popping back in for what is probably my last post of 2008. Electricians have been working here at the house for the past 4 hours, so the power has been off and the house is chilly! All's well now, so I'm heading off to stock up on chick flicks and food for the evening.
My best wishes to all the adults here - much happiness and peace in the new year. And many more good times together!
There's apparently a stomach bug here too - I'm not sure if I got it, or I have food poisoning from some bad fish yesterday. I'll go out and play anyway.
Probably my last post for the year as well. You are all so dear to me, and I wish a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year for everyone!
Oh, and Shira: you're welcome.
Of course you take all the credit, oy!
Happy New Year everyone!
I love you guys! Happy new year!
I might pop in later. I hear tipsy posting is fun, but just in case.. Happy, healthy safe New Year to you all!! MWAH!!
Anyone going to Times Square tonight to watch the ball drop is out of their flippin' mind. I'm freezing just listening to the wind blow out there!!

Happy New Year, everyone.
Shira, I'll be there whenever you arrive.
*MWAH* to all.
God, I can't wait to go home to the WARMTH!!!
Q - I know, and don't think I won't make you be there, in case you get any fancy ideas.
Well, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all. I had a lovely evening, and managed to snag a cab (!) with my friend and I am back in my pajamas and nice and warm. The way it should be, right?
Goodnight everyone. Good morning, 2009.
Mornin'
What a lovely way to start the morning, Deet!
happy 2009.
Patron helped me not remember too many events of the evening, but I am pretty sure I had a good time. My bedroom I called in the beginning of the night got snagged so I kicked people away from the sofa bed thinking I'd still be comfy. Wrong. I think I would've been better sleeping on the floor...I hurt now. Plus I was sharing it with a bed and blanket hog. But all in all a good night.
Sounds like fun Tink. I have not had Patron in years - I am afraid of what would happen if I try now!
Take a long bath with some bath salts, and all will be well.
Happy 2009.
Five bottles of wine, 2 of Proseco and 2 of Veuve later - between 5 people - and I'm not hung over. Yay!
Your stories are making my head hurt. I didn't even take a Xanax. I am so disappointed in myself.
Oh, JG. We'll just have to go out one day!
DD - That sounds like a GREAT night!
