Eat some cake.

Oh, i forgot that the cake is a lie.

Feb. 25, 2008 | 1:14 PM disingenuous responds:

i don't eat cake anyway.

Deep breaths, clear your mind...
You'll get through this.
Just don't do anything foolish!

Feb. 25, 2008 | 1:15 PM disingenuous responds:

i won't do anything foolish, but i hate when i feel like i have no control over a situation.

Share your troubles with a friend. :)

Feb. 25, 2008 | 2:37 PM disingenuous responds:

i know. i just hate to pour my heart out. i read half of the first PM you sent. so funny! i'm going to finish it tonight. i've been looking at daycares for conor so my days consist of calling them all day and visiting them at night. it's a lot harder than i thought it would be. i just find something wrong with every place we visit, of course!


Feb. 26, 2008 | 1:52 AM Monocrom says:

Glad you're enjoying the comedy routine I sent you. As you've noticed, it only works if the comedian isn't a dude.

But is the prospect of daycare for Conor the thing that's getting you down? I wish I could say I understand how you feel. But I never gave birth to another human being..... and likely never will.

You'll feel better in the end by knowing you've done a very thorough job of checking out each daycare center. I guess it's not easy letting go. Look on the bright side..... eventually Conor will get married, and give you grand-children to enjoy. ;)

Feb. 26, 2008 | 11:56 AM disingenuous responds:

it's so funny! i was telling daniel about it. i'll have to send it to him now that i've finished it.

well, looking for a daycare on top of a few other things. i don't want to let him go, but i know that i need to get out and get a job myself. i need a life! hehe

the daycare i went to visit yesterday was pretty great, though. i couldn't complain about anything even though i wanted to! one more to visit today and then i'm going to make my decision. : )


Feb. 26, 2008 | 2:01 PM Monocrom says:

Looks like you're close to finding the right daycare. Now all you need is a job.... Hey, technically being a comedian is a job. :D

Just make sure to get paid upfront. ;)

Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:45 AM disingenuous responds:

so i did find a daycare! now i just have to find myself a job so i can incorporate my comedy act somewhere around my work schedule. ha!


Feb. 26, 2008 | 2:34 PM kidray76 says:

Umm, go to an ATL club and make it clap?

Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:46 AM disingenuous responds:

oh, i do that anyway.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 4:55 PM Evark says:

Chillaxify.

Works every time.

Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:43 AM disingenuous responds:

i know, i know. i've been doing that for the last couple days. i must say... it has been pretty nice.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 9:04 AM Gagsy says:

I see you got the most pressing need sorted, everything will just slot into place now. Positive thinking.. I used to hate it, but it does do wonders. Looking for a job? Loads everywhere, at least find one you'd like, even if you take longer top find it.

Good luck =)

Feb. 28, 2008 | 11:42 AM disingenuous responds:

hey, thanks. : )

yeah, i've finally made my daycare decision, but now the job situation...

i'm filling out applications for libraries and music stores. ha! the only reason this is sort of stressful is because i told my husband (since he pays for everything else) that i would pay for conor's daycare... and conor starts monday! granted, he's fine with my paying him back for the first week or two, but i still feel a bit of pressure.

i know it will all work out in the end!


Feb. 28, 2008 | 2:44 PM Gagsy says:

BTW, I love the name Conor, just felt I had to say that! You made a good choice there! Though I am curious about the spelling. Is the one N a more American way? I've always seen Conor's with two N's. Not important really, just curious if it's a regional thing or just looked better to you that way! =D

I considered working in both those kind of places once, I applied for a library job, didn't get it, they wanted someone with bags of experience and possibly didn't trust a 19 year old with it. It was quite a fancy library really, so no wonder though.

I'm sure your husband is 100% positive that you'll pay him back and besides I'm sure that isn't the point, I bet he'll be happy to pay this bit to begin with just so you can find a nice job for yourself without giving in to the first job you see just for the money. Happiness in a job is very important of course! =]

Good luck. I need to stop typing so much =X

Feb. 28, 2008 | 3:28 PM disingenuous responds:

i was actually thinking about that after the last response i left you. i looked back and i thought, 'damn, i type too much.'

anywho, you are right. "connor" is the more common spelling here. everyone spells his name wrong, and when some lady tells me about her "connor" they never fail to mention that it's with two N's. actually, the only two conor's that i do know of (famous), spell it with one N. one's in an american band, and one's in an irish band. so i guess it's not regional. ha! anyway (talk about typing a lot), the reason i spelled it with one N is because my name is michele (with one L) and i always make a joke about people who spell it michelle and the unnecessary letter in there. so we thought it was cute.

yeah, i don't think the library is going to hire me. there's 3 questions in a row that ask me what qualifies me to work in a library. i don't know... i've read a book?

i'm sure i'll be serving cappuccinos at starbucks.


Mar. 1, 2008 | 2:00 AM Monocrom says:

I say you don't type enough.

How am I supposed to steal your soul, if you don't share more?..... er, I mean.... Happy Leap Year?? :D

Mar. 1, 2008 | 3:15 PM disingenuous responds:

Ha! I always thought you were too nice. I knew there was a catch!


Mar. 1, 2008 | 5:37 PM Monocrom says:

Yeah, I suck at this whole e-stalking thing.

I always get confused if I'm supposed to help with your problems, or just be a good listener, or make your day less stressful if I can, or just send you some dead roses with a creepy message.

Hmm.... I think I'll try being a good listener. If that don't work, I can always fall back on trying to help make your day less stressful. Roses are too expensive anyway. :P

Mar. 3, 2008 | 3:32 PM disingenuous responds:

i think it might be a little cheaper if you ship dead roses, though. Ha! But I like you better as good listener than an e-stalker. Haha


Mar. 3, 2008 | 3:29 PM Infinite-one says:

Hug your cares away.

Mar. 4, 2008 | 2:54 PM disingenuous responds:

i've been trying... my poor dog runs when she sees me now.


Mar. 4, 2008 | 3:33 AM Monocrom says:

Good to know. :)

But, I must admit that it's a bit hard to listen over an internet site. :P

Mar. 4, 2008 | 2:56 PM disingenuous responds:

ha! i know, but atleast on an internet site when you start to get fed up with the constant complaining you can just sign off and say... oh, sorry. my internet crashed!


Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:03 AM Monocrom says:

I've done that a couple of times.

Not with you though. :)

Mar. 6, 2008 | 9:28 AM disingenuous responds:

you better not have!


Mar. 6, 2008 | 8:58 AM BananaBreadMuffin says:

do a dance

Mar. 6, 2008 | 9:29 AM disingenuous responds:

i actually just did one before i read your response.

they usually average about 3 per minute and last 10 seconds. so i'm actually due for another right now.


Mar. 7, 2008 | 2:21 AM Monocrom says:

You know I never did.

Does this look like the face of a liar? :D

Mar. 7, 2008 | 9:53 AM disingenuous responds:

okay, okay. i believe you!

that capital D gets me everytime!
