What a bummer that the tax bracket thing had to shake down that way. (I have a friend whose main reason for not getting a nice little part time job is for that very reason; her husband says it actually COSTS them money when it comes to taxes) But woo- 8 extra hours!
I just know Brooke's going to want to see that movie. You perhaps know how she feels about slugs, even those with unkind intent.
As for hometowns, I'm definitely one of those stick-in-the-muds: Brooke will eventually be attending the same highschool where my grandmother taught, I attended the college where my grandfather taught, and my sister, who's back in our old neighborhood, will be sending her kids to the same grade school that she and I went to as kids. Only my parents have moved out of the 10-mile extended family radius!
Yay, someone else who's gotten caught up with that bento business! My family thinks I'm nuts, but I can't stop looking at pictures of beautifully-arranged food. You'll have to describe the container you bought and I'd love to see your Frances-inspired inaugural lunch. And I know what you mean about disposable works of art. Sometimes I even leave the folded laundry out on the bed longer than necessary because I enjoy looking at the tidy, segregated stacks.
