JZ!! THank you for the wonderful calendars. I'm choosing matting and framing right now!
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

No worries, David. I was surprised, but I wanted to watch the rest.
I called juliana a bit ago and she was still snoozing. She said she was feeling a bit better, but wasn't planning on moving until she had to.
Nora - that sounds really interesting.

Mostly lurking...
Nora, that sounds really good.
Grumble, grumble, moan, moan. Just talked to my PCP. She won't prescribe me steroids over the phone. She wants me to trudge into the ER in all this snow and be checked out. Grumble, grumble, grumble some more.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday Kristin, Maria, and (belatedly) -t!!!
Yay for silly grin making dates, Erin!!
SA, I know two people who went to The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago (http://www.chic.edu/) and they really liked it.
At work. Again. For the 15th straight day. Weekend days off? What does that mean?

Hey. New board.
Hi Bitches.
I have not been around for a while for several reasons:
1) My laptop died. I tore it apart and saved the hard drive, but for the moment I am computerless. Luckily, Gershwin Girl still has one and the on-campus computer labs are nice, but time online has been much diminished.
2) I'm student teaching. Which is hard. Teaching is hard. Fun, though!
This grayness will probably continue into the future, so if you want to say something at me, profile addy is best.
Disclaimer over now, and I can get on to...
Happy Birthdays to Kristin and -t!
And immediately segue into: Good Lawd there's a lot of snow outside. Also, math is good so stop being mean about it. *gives stern teacher glare* *cracks up* I haven't really mastered the stern teacher glare yet.
And... I'm outy. Byeeee again!

My goodness, it's interesting to see how many cooking schools there are in the US. For some reason, I always thought that France had the monopoly on them. NSM, I guess.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The Institute of Culinary Education (formerly Peter Kump's) in Manhattan has an excellent reputation. We've also got the French Culinary Institute -- their restaurant (L'Ecole) is a favorite of mine.
Happy birthdays, Kristin and Maria!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
A friend of mine went to Culinary Institute of America. He seemed to -- well, "enjoy" it isn't the right word, but he definitely says that he got a lot out of it.

Happy Belated Birthday, -t!!!
Dave and I are spending the day reading (I am reading my textbooks like a good student), since it is still snowing outside. Although he did go and shovel the walk earlier and dig my car out.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday, Maria!
Happy Birthday, Kristin! I am so happy that you are pleased with your life right now.
Odd? Saw a guy who looked an awful lot like ND today. In a kilt. He looked like a pre-shorn ND even before the kilt. I admit I did a double take since he could easily still be in town and hair grows.
why is it that all the good conversations I have in bars are with men? Who are older than me?I don't know but I have found it to be true more than not. I have a theory that they aren't *just* or *only* or *neccessarily* just trying to get lucky and so the conversation matters too. Also? Often men can get more interesting and better conversationally, ime.
Does this sound like a decent topic for a 20 page research paper?Oh yeah. One I would beg to read too.
Yeah, I just had that date. I am the weeest bit tipsy, and I just had the sweetest kisses. He said I was pretty and he loved looking into my eyes.Dude. t shakes head wistfully Dude... That is fabulous!
I got good snuggles from a dear, usually far away, person last night. Am pleased.
I spent the day running around getting my car washed, waxed and detailed; getting an oil change; running to the farmer's market for some fresh flowers and scored some fab darker than usual pale orange Gerber daisies, some snifftastic yellow freesia, a dozen yellow roses that I gilded - even if they weren't lilies - with some purple statice from my yard, and a single stem of tuberose; shopping at Trader Joe's which did not have paneer but did have daffodils; and picking up a couple of prescription refills; putting away laundry; did dishes and other random domestic bits. t flops down exhausted
Oh. I also wroted the stepmom and with a great lack of subtley asked what the deal was with the neicelet. Why she was sent so far away, why we aren't supposed to tell her anything and that I promised to never lie to her so it was making for rough communications. This should go ... I have no idea...
