Ok, let’s see what kind of friends I have out there… And I’m splitting up the choices between sexes so we can see who’s doing the harassing around here.

To the woman who couldn’t manage to stay in her own lane going through an intersection today: Put down the Twizzlers(TM) and put your hands back on the wheel. I’m not terribly attached to my car, but I would have a problem with you side-swiping me. Licorice is not worth it. Stupid lady.

In other news, women using sexuality to get ahead in the workplace: It’s not working. Caught this story

on the radio today, but I can’t get it to play here. There was one choice quote that I wanted to get down, but I’ll just have to give you the gist of it. “I’m at a loss to understand how you could let someone look down your blouse in a natural way.”

Does it Pay to be a flirt?

Women who cross their legs provocatively, wear short skirts or massage a man’s shoulders at work get fewer pay raises and promotions, according to Friday’s USA Today.

The newspaper, citing a Tulane University study, said 49 percent of female MBA graduates polled admitted that they have tried to advance in their careers by sometimes engaging in certain sexual behaviors, including sending flirty e-mails and wearing revealing clothing.

Friday night, got home from work after a 90-minute commute. Needed to get gas and that ended up taking way longer than I thought it would to get out to the cheap gas station I usually go to. Then, got home and finished up Harry Potter while Sonny was cleaning up around the house. Went out with Ian after that. He just finished up his first full week of working like the rest of us suckers, so we had a pretty mellow night. Went to Chipotle and then to Wegman’s to get groceries for Sonny’s extravaganza. Got back from Wegman’s and tried to stuff as much food into Ian’s fridge as we could and then just loafed for the evening.

Saturday, I apparently got kicked out of the family. They all played tennis and had family time without me. Then, I ditched my parents and ended up picking up party foods from Costco with Ian and his bro. We got back to find that there wasn’t enough room in his freezer for all the food. Rushed over to my parents’ house to make use of their freezers, then went to MicroCenter to get a new motherboard for Ian. He did the fixing his computer thing while I took a nap. Then headed over to my place to wait for Lenny’s fiancé’s uncle to come fix Sonny’s A/C unit. He showed up a little late because his van broke down on the way into the neighborhood and had to wander the neighborhood looking for our house. Turned out the A/C unit was out of Freon, so Lenny drove him to go get some and it was all fixed and livable again shortly thereafter.

Headed back with Ian and my mom after that. Dropped my mom off, picked some tomatoes up. Made plans for delivery of the frozen goods the next day. Went back to Ian’s to make Peanut Chewies, pasta salad, and to wash and cut vegetables and fruit. Nothing exciting about those recipes, really. I followed instructions and it all turned out nicely. I used cornflakes instead of rice krispees, though and I think the texture might have been better if I had used what they said. But it was still good.

Sunday, I went with Ian to his family brunch thing. They had aebleskiver, all kinds of fruit, and sausage and bacon. Hung out with them for a bit, stopped by Ian’s place to pick up all the food, and then off to prepare for the extravaganza! Called my sister, who was meeting up with family/relatives at my parents’ house, to see if she could pick up the frozen food and bring that with her on her way back. She agreed and brought along cousins as helper bees. I set about arranging food and last minute things and soon after, my sister arrived with my cousins along with trays of food (already prepared) and a cheesecake decorated (by the cousins) with raspberries and blueberries. There may be a picture forthcoming. Oh! And presents! They brought presents too! It was splendid.
