Oh, damn, Aimée. That sounds traumatic. Goodonya for retaliating with earring-fu. It is mighty indeed.

You're reminding me I should be breaking in my new shoes for this Friday. I have a lot more of a learning curve to traverse.

One of the male instructors overheard me trying to make sure my dressed-upness was going to be middle of the pack, and misinterpreted it as me obsessing about fineries. Somehow my insistence on making everyone else change their wardrobes to match mine instead of me changing my outfit came across...well, not monomaniacal, which is weird, but vain. I miss the days where I reflexively gave the dress code the finger. And in memory of that, I shall.

Two hours until I can leave for the EEG checkin...tick...tock...tick...tock...

I just got an email request from a user:

Hi All,

Can u configure the below printer to unix box.

i am enclosing the printer properties doc.

WTF??? When did literacy cease to be a job requirement???

Oooh, msbelle. Very exciting.

Would it make you feel any better to let you know that I've had a similar experience?

It does. It's frustrating because I'm really making the effort to be happier with my body and new post-baby shape. Without major diet and exercise changes and/or major surgery, this is my body. Better to get used to it and dress it well than wear too tight stuff and not be comfortable.

Then I get stuck in a piece of shape smoothing lingerie.

Also? The baby woke up early and I brought hr into bed with me for a smallish cat nap. She headbutted me. I have a small bruise. ita - what secret telepathic messages did you send my kid during dinner? Huh, huh, huh?

Bless the shoes, jewelry and handbag defense! They ALWAYS make me feel better and are easy to fit!!!

Those things suck, Aimee. The one I have doesn't even do enough sucking in, and I still can never get out of it without pulling a muscle. You are neither fat nor stupid.

Oh, Tom, don't you know? Email doesn't count.

So, um, does anyone have any ballpark estimations of how much lobbyists cost? Or graphic designers? No reason.

Wal-Mart had em on Black Friday for, I think $6.

No idea.

How long a jail term are you willing to risk?

Weekend plans (all contingent on storm and related disruptions): tonight: my friend's are coming in from Lunenburg and we are going to see Claire's Hat, an unreleased documentary by Bruce MacDonald. (Of Hard Core Logo fame.) Then possibly out for drinks.

Tomorrow: Farmer's Market, brunch with my friends and my friend's parents, shopping, and in the evening a cocktail party at my boss' that I couldn't figure an excuse to get out of this year. (Soemwhere megan is saying "AH-ha.")

Are my guests staying another night? I don't know. Maybe more drinks with them if they are still around.

Somewhere in here I have to squeeze in watching the last ep of Season 1 veronica Mars and then return the DVD to the Video Store.

Sunday: My Co-op's AGM and potluck in the evening, so I'll likely be cooking this afternoon. Maybe entertaining guests if they are still here. I hope to be home ot collapse and watch GA.
