Tina: You sure you don’t want to call Vera?

Bette: No, it will be fine. She’ll be napping for most of the meeting and if I need to leave at about 3pm instead of 4pm that won’t be a problem.

Tina: Thanks baby, I like her spending so much time with us and she’ll love exploring your office.

Bette: Well she has a fan club at the museum, so they’ll be happy to see her. You know I’ll bring one of the DVDs for her too. I have a small combo TV in the office and can set her up with her snack and the video when she wakes. I’ll enjoy having her there too. Are you excited or nervous about your meeting?

Tina: Well anytime you meet with an investor it can be risky, you never know what’s going in their heads. However, we are making good progress on the project so that will be an easy topic to cover. He hasn’t been a head case as of yet, so I think this is more an update and ego stroke meeting.

Bette: Yes, we’ve all had those. Well I can’t wait to hear how it goes tomorrow night at dinner, or after if you need to work later in the office tomorrow.

Tina: Thanks baby. You know I did some research online and there is a class for Angelica at the Gymboree on Friday morning 9:30-10:15. I’d like to sign her up and use that gift certificate from Peggy. I can be back here to start my office day by 11am, still just 8am on the west coast.

Bette: Yea, if you can make that work for your schedule that would be great for the baby. It’s been hard not taking her out in the cold. We should plan to take her back to story time on Saturday as well. She’s been so good being kept inside so much. That’s one nice thing about being back in LA, she’ll be able to go to the park and go to her preschool. I wonder if we could find a school here that would take her for a week a month?

Tina: We could look around, but honestly I love being home with her and next month it won’t be so cold and we’ll probably be able to get out a couple of times. She does well at school in LA, it was a great idea to put her in full time there.
