That's a stole, dammit.

Here it is in purple:

That's a stole, dammit.

Huh? No, the one I'm squeeing over is a capelet. Covers the shoulders, has a collar-thingie that buttons. I have a stole in pink already, and it's just like the purple one you linked to.

I've had doctors that bleeding to death might get you in in an hour rather than three.

I am charmed by Jilli's story because I am massively allergic to some fragrances and every place I've ever worked, the response has been, "So? Suck it up." The idea that there's a workplace that would do something about it is wonderful to me.

Don't worry about it, Jilli, because if you're not allergic, you can't tell. Most people seem to think they have a god-given right to wear whatever perfume they want, even if it means they leave a trail of people behind them needing CPR. The fact that it you're worried about other people proves once again that you're far superior human being. Just stop wearing that particular perfume and send an e-mail saying, "I know that fragrance allergies are dreadful things, and I'm sorry I didn't realize earlier that I was bothering anyone. Please let me know immediately if I'm wearing something that bothers you."

See? Ginger offers Jilli the exact same advice.

We are discussing making my hair a rich warm chestnut. I am pleased, yet bemused.

::runs in:: Deb, congrats on your tv thing! That's so exciting! Here's hoping someone tapes it so I can see it later. Good luck, honey.

All government/public buildings in my province are Scent Free zones.

That would look lovely, but you would need to make sure you're wearing the correct shade of lipstick.

You can tell I'm not because I'm not dead already. No, actually, love kids and would have one, but now=worst time ever. But if there was a star in the east, what a surprise the faithful would get.

"She told us it was too early for this...well, I'm not going to use the word she used, Messiah or no. Then she said we should read more books and stop looking for Mary in dirty windshields and grilled cheese. Because it's weird." one awestruck pilgrim recalled.

The gentleman on the left is David Evangelista, who will be doing my makeover.

Chiming in to say that Jilli is a wonderful person who should not feel guilty in the least. Also, I want the pink capelet!! Loves it!!!

My mom and dad sent me a little package with new niece photos and some small surprises. I want it now!!!
