1. Do you have any tattoos?

2. What was the last thing you bought?

3. Would you rather be behind the camera or in front of it?

4. Window or Aisle seat?

5. Have you ever had a poem or song written about you?

We're dividing and conquering today. The Girl left early for her band competition, which I am driving to watch this afternoon, but The Boy has a scout thing and wants to go to the local car show, so Dh is staying here and taking The Boy to his things, which he is working in around some house repair stuff.

You don't get to define what someone else views as clutter.

I donate my comforter sets when I do decide to upgrade or change the color scheme in my bedroom.

I do not understand the constant one-upmanship here. Different people have different needs, different preferences, different lives. We are all fairly intelligent women, fully capable of designing homes, schedules, and lives that suit our own parameters. If you prefer a spartan look, have at it. If being surrounded by pillows and tschochkas makes you happy, by all means indulge. There is at least one poster here whose mision on the board seems to be to prove that compared to her life, everyone else's life sucks. That sort of platform always comes across looking desperate at worst, absurd at best.

I get paid the same no matter how much I work. It's not like I'm working 65 hours a week.

I think I can accurately judge the value of my paycheck. It's not nearly what I"m worth, but that's the price I pay for working in the public sector and for having the benefits and flexibility that I do.

There are employees in my company that can be easily subbed for or brought up to speed with a memo or minutes from the meeting and then there are people that need to be there in order to have a productive meeting, otherwise there wouldn't be a point of holding a meeting.

It is. But it's an annoying, sleep-depriving part of being a parent and I will be glad when she can just drive herself home.

Yeah, about the only fault to the iPad touch keyboard is that it has wreaked havoc on my typing accuracy. :)

My conference calls require me to have the right materials, many of which are computer files ... hard to do that in the car. Also, my colleagues with whom I would be meeting deserve the respect of my full attention ... it would be rude to not give them that.

I also don't do things like conference calls in the car - that's dangerous imo.
