Raq, sounds like a plan. We can carouse.

Alternatively, if I was to come out Dec. 8-11, I could do so for $245 roundtrip. Hmmmm. I don't want to shirk my responsibility. I should probably try a few colors on.

Really, coming to San Francisco is the most responsible thing you as a hat consumer can do.

I just got a ticket a couple of weeks ago (from BWI) for about $220 roundtrip. You almost lose money by NOT going.

~~~ma~~~ to all who need it today.

I am home with the cramps and the Major Blahs today. And so grateful I can actually work from home so I don't have to take sick time. It is so grey and miserable here. And I'm really feeling it.

On the bright side though, I got an Anne W. made Jayne hat in the mail from Beverly yesterday for my H'ween costume! Also, new boots that were my first ebay purchase, and a package from my friend in Hawaii today (which I'm not opening until I get some actual work done. It will be a nice reward.)

My cat does not understand that opening the door and lettign the fog in would be bad.

Time for your cat to watch some old John Carpenter movies.

I'll be in Las Vegas Dec 8-11...that's close to SF...(closer than Athens is, anyway)

I'm randomly catching up. I am behind because my family is driving me out if my mind.

Please send chocolate.

My mother, sister and I are supposed to go to D.C. for vacation in like two weeks. We have yet to pick a hotel or get airline tickets because every time I suggest a hotel, they either say it's too much or my sister goes off getting more suggestions from random people she sort of knows. Those suggestions all run to 1-star hotels or hotels 20 miles out of town. (We won't have a car.) I was pushing for more of a suite closer in, because there are three of us and my mother is 80. After going round and round, my mother's saying, "Well, whatever's most comfortable for you," putting me in the uncomfortable position of making her pay $50 plus more a day so I'll be "comfortable." No, she won't take a dime from me. The last trip, I picked out a cheaper room, and they whined about the sorts of things you get with a cheap hotel. I keep sending my sister information, but she can't seem to remember that you click on the frelling link in the e-mail to get the information. It's like herding cats, except less productive or entertaining.

Why am I doing this? I'm a good daughter. Or a masochist.

Anyway, vw's hair looks great.

I'm so sorry, Juliana. I hope everything works out for the best. At least you know that there are people all over the country who would be proud and happy to have you grace their cities.

Matt, quick and pain-free healing~ma to your dad.

oof, Ginger. I'm sorry. That sounds verrrry frustrating.

Matt, much heal-fast~ma for your dad.

I'm back at work. We just had cake. Next Friday we're having a Halloween Party. Fun!

vw, do you want to come work where I work? I fear we'll have to do themed things, and I'm so not that person. And it'll all be chalked up to me not liking fun nor being a team player, but they keep picking the wrong stuff.

One of the few downsides of working at home is that no one ever brings cake.

ita, you wanna borrow Em's octopus costume?
