Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Is that how long you're there until, vw? May it get there quickly, then.

I'm off to the company summer picnic where I expect to chow down on a yummy brat, quaff a couple beers and enjoy the talents of the various musical stylings of the some of the company members. They're having a talent competition at this picnic. Should be interesting.

Later!

Sail, your company picnic is on a Saturday? That's not right! It should be on a workday, so you don't have to work, not making you come be work-social on an off day! Even if you like your coworkers.

I have friends who are in for the weekend from out of town. They want to go drink margaritas. I am going to go with, but I am at a loss as to what I can eat/drink at this place. So far on the list: refried beans. I'm wondering if a virgin strawberry daquiri would be good to my throat...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Jessica is brave to go blonde

Oh, I haven't. Well, not this time anyway -- I was blonde for a few months in 2002, but I'm currently still blue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sounds great -- all that crushed ice would be soothing.

Blue is usually braver than blonde. But have a cube farm desk job in a fairly conventional industry.

Now I want a daquiri.

Does an open plan office count as cubes? (I mean, it's basically just cubes with shorter walls.) Either way, I think I lose points for working in the entertainment industry.

Trust my rage

vw, i forgot to say i think it's great you are having a party for Toto. When I lived in Rio, i had a group of friends with dogs. We would meet on the beach each morning. Whenever a dog had a birthday, the owner would bring special dog treats and human treats. Then we would take the dogs to the man who sold coconuts and buy each dog a coconut (and one for each of us, of course). One woman actually had her party catered. They brought the stuff to the beach. We also had a farewell party for Toby and Sebastian (and me) when I left at a park above the beach. Oh, and we had a secret santa dog toy exchange.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just put Pulse mousse color on. I found it really refreshes the red in between actual dye jobs. $6, 20 minutes in the bathroom with nice-smelling goop on my head and Bob's your (red-headed) Uncle!

And Mama's got some 'splainin' to do.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Stephanie, that sounds really nice. When I lived in Chicago, my roommate and I had Toto, my parents had a dog, and her parents had a dog. So, we would have parties with the three dogs. For Toto's 5th birthday, we had lived in MA for about a year. I had just gone on disability and was really depressed. I just decided on Toto's birthday that we were going to have a party. So, I went out and bought stuff to make a banana cake and have presents for him. There are pictures here: [link]

I had a great time. It made my day. And Toto was so cute. So, I was remembering that day and how much fun it was and thinking about how much more fun it would be if I planned it out a bit in advance so I could have more people there to share it with, and so now there will be Toto's 7th birthday party.

People think I'm crazy. I am. But it's fun.
