Me: "How much do you love me - a little or a lot?"
Jeff: "Um.. is there a third option?"

Daily Note: THANKSGIVING 2008
Today I give thanks to:
1. My husband. Who spent at least 2 hours standing in the shower yesterday "recalibrating" the plumbing so that I had the most lovely shower in our beautiful new(ish) bathroom this morning. Apparently, the shower head may not in fact be broken, just super fussy.
2. Whole foods. When I went to bake my apple pie this morning, the horrible memory of me breaking my beautiful deep dish pie pan two weeks ago came crashing back to me. In a panic, I realized Target and all other kitchen goods stores would be closed today. Thankfully, Whole Foods was open and had one yellow Le Crueset pie pan left with my name on it. Luckily, I made my pumpkin pie last night so I only needed one pie pan.
3. My Dad. Today is his 60th birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

What happened to The Hills?? I haven't watched in 2 or 3 weeks, but I tuned in for a minute last night and it sent my head spinning! Justin Bobby hooked up with Lauren? Or maybe not? Since when does Audrina have a sister? Audrina and Lauren aren't friends anymore? Speidi got married? Heidi got fired?? Her sister moved in with Lauren? How is it possible for such a simplistic show to get so complicated in such a short period of time? I feel like I need The Hills: CliffsNotes.

If you're not really much for angry rants filled with all caps, I would advise not reading further.
Today was maybe one of the most cranky-making days ever. Horrible PMS coupled with a personal disappointment this week put me in no position to deal with the incompetent pile of retards that I had to talk to today. Rather than pull a Dooce and go into details, I will just reassure any random coworkers that might stumble upon this blog - I'm not talking about you.
Also, this just in: Our new shower is broken. After months of it only spewing scalding water, my lovely husband finally called the plumber. For the low, low price of a bazillion dollars, the plumber informed us that it is not in fact his shoddy work that caused the problem as we had suspected, but a faulty shower head. Luckily he DID rig it so that now the shower only spews freezing cold water, which is AWESOME. And of course we ordered the shower head off of some obscure piece of shit website that will probably never read the strongly worded letter Jeff sent them today insisting that they send us a new shower head. And PS my jaw hurts really bad so it's pretty great that I'm totally out of my TMJ pain meds.
I should go, I think I hear someone calling my name from the kitchen and I'm pretty sure it's coming from a giant glass of wine.

True or False: Eating a giant piece of sourdough toast slathered in butter is a healthy late night snack.

I've returned from the land of the Grand Hyatt Seattle and am happy to report that the conference went really well. My only war wounds from the week of craziness are bloody feet from making the mistake of wearing new shoes one day. In my defense they were flats, so I thought it would be okay. Right now I am wearing so many band aids on my feet, I started to wonder if there might be a market for socks made entirely out of band aids. I could have used some this week. Anyways, I have nothing of any real value to offer in this post except to let you know that I'm thrilled to be done with my conference and am looking forward to what will hopefully be some laid back holiday time. Oh! And Jeff found out today that he's been offered a "transition package" at Wamu to help with JP Morgan Chase's buy out, so he isn't getting laid off until April! This is good news on many fronts, so we are all kinds of pleased today.
