Did you have any luck on the tux? Or was today more of a recovery from a fabulous but very boozy dinner last night?

I'm not having much luck on the tux front. All the ones I'm finding are pretty much business suits in shiny black. The requirements are: Shawl or peaked lapel, single stripe on trousers, not 100% polyester (preferably wool), one-button, low-cut (3-4 button) vest.

I'm considering seeing if a costumer friend would make one, but I don't know if she has time.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm a little worse for the wear, as we did the Greek thing of continual toasting to everything. DH doesn't drink, so it falls to me. I drank about a liter of water when we got home, but this morning's still been a hard start.

I really can't drink at all anymore if I'm going to be getting up with Owen. It's too hard to fight off the blurriness that comes with an early bird baby. Feh.

Emily, thanks for the update! I'm glad the trip was relatively quick and I hope vw gets her rest today.

Good luck finding a tux, Raq.

Is this [link] the sort of tux you need, Raq?

I'm so glad to hear vw is okay and it wasn't too arduous an ER stay. Thanks for letting us know, Emily, and for being such a good friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The requirements are: Shawl or peaked lapel, single stripe on trousers, not 100% polyester (preferably wool), one-button, low-cut (3-4 button) vest.
I'll poke around and see if I can find some options.

Woke up and felt fabulous for about two minutes. Even feeling like ass, I still feel better than I have in a few days. And Throat Coat tea is of the gods.

It's chilly this morning. I think it's time to pull out the thick down comforter. Yummers.

Timelies.

Yay, for short ER visit, Emily. Also, glad to hear it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Who makes the throat coat tea, Cass? Is it something I can pick up at my regular grocery store in the tea section or is it found with the pharmaceuticals?

Kristin, I hope you can get the cellphone bill straightened out.

I didn't get called back into work today. Yay!

Sail, it's from Traditional Medicinals. Throat Coat [link]

I can find it at most of the foofier or natural stores quite easily (Whole Foods, Henry's...) and some regular markets, in the regular tea sections or near the homeopathic stuff. They have a store locater here [link] also.

It's really worth seeking out.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hello!

I don't really need to do work, right? I can just stay here on the Internet and watch tv?
