I am taking a couple days of vacation to make the Memorial Day weekend EXTRA long. I am not sure if I will feel like posting during that time, so that's that. It is supposed to be gorgeous outside and I've got a ton of plans, most of which include avoiding either working on my thesis, lounging, or spending time outdoors...and not eating oatmeal. I'm giving that shit up for a while. I had a very interesting appointment with my doctor(s), but the results from that are yet to arrive, so I will have to keep you posted as the oddities explain themselves.
In terms of my long weekend (how long is it? 5 whole days of NOT BEING AT WORK), I actually have to take the time off from work because I can only carry over two weeks of vacation time and the end of the fiscal year is fast approaching...meaning I have to use 6 days before June 30. In other words, two more long weekends are in my immediate future. Yay!
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

and the winner is...
My nephew now has a name: Maxwell James.
I'm assuming he will go by Max and not M.J., as to avoid appearing too feminine or like a pothead.

naming of the shrew
The following is a transcript of a snippet from yesterday's conversation about baby names with my brother.
Me: what would you have named the baby if it had been a girl?
Brother: I can't tell you.
Me: but you told Mom after Brady [first nephew] was born.
Brother: we told Mom because we knew she'd forget. And she did.
Me: but I won't be having any kids so I won't steal it.
Brother: you'd probably use it for a dog, cat, rabbit, or whatever weird animal you people find next.
Me: I would so not use it for a rabbit.
Brother: we would never be able to name our kid that name if you used it for a pet.
Me: fine, I'll just name any new pets after your existing kids' names and then you'll be sorry. Then I'll call Mom and Dad and tell them that Brady was just licking his butthole, but I won't tell them that "Brady" is my pet and not their grandson.
Brother: I'm still not going to tell you.
Me: then you're just a dickface.
*Note: apparently you never outgrow the need to call your siblings stupid names when a conversation doesn't go your way.
