Bad news on two fronts, amigo.
1) I have a mandatory mixer that I must go to this Wednesday and then next Wednesday as well...can we game on Thursday at Nathaniels!!? I'm sorry to be such a pain with the schedule...This is a mandatory work function!
2) Wendy nixed the kitten idea. I broke down and told her and she told me that we were not getting any other animals. When Beth said she couldn't visit while there were kittens, I thought she was kidding..but apparently she was serious.
Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission...but I thought this one was a shoo-in.
