Not. clicking. on. bad. food. pics.

The greatest benefit of being in the date whirlwind is that I can't eat more than 4 or 5 bites of anything in a day. My stomach just won't accept food! Funny how adrenaline will do that for you.

Thanks for the good thoughts Nic. Oddly, 'reward' was exactly the word I used.

~~~ma for Jilli.

Today alone I have heard horror stories from three co-workers that went on dates this weekend.

I could tell you the horror story from my Friday date....

Interview-ma for Jilli and a good day to juliana!

I just spent most of the morning helping to clean my mom's electric range. The guys had the worst of it, because of the unbelievable yutz they found behind and beneath it. I'm wishing blessings on their heads, every one, because they'd gotten the top of it and the counter next to it completely clean before I even got there to help. I went away with all the burners, drip pans and rings in a bucket of degreaser, and scrubbed a while on those. One of the burners needs replaced, but the others should work fine, now that they're clean. We still haven't reset the circuit breaker, though. And we may not, unless we can agree to supervise whatever cooking Mom attempts. There will be stealth attacks on the rest of the countertops and the cabinets in the next few weeks, during the early morning hours when she's sleeping, too. When it's done we'll all breathe a little easier.

We have Stephanie's weather. I should get outside and do something.

Oh, I meant to say that the scary kids and food photos gave me flashbacks. I think Sunbeam bread still uses one of those devil children on its wrappers.

And Yay! for Steph's Big!boss. The human body and spirit are, quite frequently, amazing.

interview-ma for Jilli!

It's about sixty degrees and sunny here, too. We went out for lunch even though my head cold is still lingering. Owen doesn't want to nap today for some odd reason.

Is this the Other Irish Guy?

A participant in a meeting was making a presentation. One attender had to telephone in and couldn't see the slides.

She explained that she hadn't sent him the slides because she didn't want him to read ahead in the presentation .

Is this the Other Irish Guy?

Is that like The Other White Meat?

spoilers for presentations? will the phone participant gasp in surprise at the wrong time and ruin the HSQ for everyone?

Spoilers for presentations? I'd smack her if I were him.
