Oy vey, Allyson. But that seems like a pretty good reason for not going in, no?

If anyone knows of chair-seat height stools, one should give me a holler. Dark wood, heavy stools.

It looks as if Home Decorators Collection has quite a few, but they tend to be pretty pricey. Perhaps these will at least help you backtrack the manufacturers to a more reasonable retailer?

Why did our sister office switch the timing of today's design meeting and inform the design company that's consulting for us, but not myself or our actual design manager?

ita, This stool is more right. Taller, narrower. Weird accents, but there you have it. But it wasn't the one I was thinking of either.

Good height, but odd rushed seat. Which I wonder if you could replace or cover with a cushion?

the one I saw that looked right but wrong colored cushion. Which I think, is solvable with a fabric and a staple gun.

It's 34 degrees here. SO ANNOYING. It just makes for slush and puddles and mud and gross. Yuck.

This is what you get when you taunt happy, fun Nor'easter.

Ack, Allyson. That sucks.

Luckily, where I'm headed today is the opposite direction. Allyson, if I didn't have a 9:00 AM Burke Williams appointmet, I'd come and get you and take you to work.

Lucky. Which BW?

LA people stay safe and good luck with traffic. yikes.

walking in the snow + leg lifts last night = sore butt

Kristen says I can catch the 134 by way of the 101, which is what I'll try. I have a few things I need to do today that are hugely time sensitive and will inconvenience a great many people if I don't complete them, so I'd feel better about going in.

Aw, Kat. BW trumps EVERYTHING else.

It's sort of like he can't believe people could find anything negative with his proposal.

Yeah, I really think he's one of those people who can't wrap his brain around the fact that his view of reality isn't the only possible one.

Y'all did hear that another case turned up of the administration paying a columnist to tout its policies: [link]

And people like my parents won't understand why I find this more scandalous than a bit of Oval Office adultery.

t slams head against wall repeatedly

Lucky. Which BW?

Sherman Oaks. I have a 9:00 AM appointment.

You can. Just go north on the 101. Except there's no direct connection between the 101 and the 134. You actually end up having to drive around my neighborhood to get back onto the 134.

Not to confuse you, but could you take Loz Feliz Blvd into Glendale, then go to Colorado Blvd (one exit above you) and get on the freeway there?

I'm thinking of that, Kat, I don't know how much of the five is closed.

My stomach is starting to hurt a little, because I fear the getting lost so much.
