What designs do people have on their checks

I have circa 1970's flower power checks (they are very fun) but I just ordered classic Pooh ones ('cause one of them has Christoper Robin, Pooh and Piglet playing Pooh Sticks)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have plain old yellow checks. No designs.

Trust my rage

Given she's graduating from law school in May, I may have to point her Stephanie's way for planning advice

Feel free to point her my way. I love talking babies and the whole law school/bar exam adds a whole new level of potential bonding.

My tattoo's on my lower back. As Daisy said, it's great because I don't get tired of it -- I really only see it when I say to myself, hey, how's the tattoo look? Looking good, tattoo.

My best friend has a heart with Mom in it on her bicep. It's adorable.

Yesterday someone said to me, "So I heard that your book is a collection of anti-UN essays."

It's part of her plot to overthrow the physicists of the world, I hear.

My checks are boring bank checks. The only people that see them are the check processing people and my mechanic.

I'm a dork. It's really windy here so my pbs reception is kinda funky. Which means This Old House will be hard to watch...

I briefly wanted a tattoo in college. I'm kind of glad I didn't get one. It would annoy me now.

Fooey, I missed the PM talk. But I will participate anyway!

For us, a Scope of Work is a list of deliverables and subtasks, assumptions (i.e., no more than one client meeting per month, lasting 3 hours), and descriptions of data and work provided by the client. For a big project, after the contract is signed, we often do a Work Plan, with a lot more data and schedule/budget information.

I've spent all day today working on the scope, budget, and schedule for a project where the client wants *all* the detail up front. And since we don't actually have a signed contract yet, it's all unbilled. t snarl

Six years as a PM here: I'm finally getting training this month. Heh.

My checks have soft grey pictures of waterfalls and birds on them. Very boring.

Dana: what blood feud? Inquiring minds want to know! Also, I made Vonnie go DL that vid. You know the one (M/W). Cheered her up something marvelous.

Feel free to point her my way.

I will, once I dig up her email and I've gotten word that she's official to the entire family. Mom's sisters tell each other everything. Mom tells me everything. I'm never quite sure when some news is passed along whether it is a broad announcement or not. So I just tell the whole internet!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have cheapo bank checks. But most months I only write one check, so...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can get my design ones for free, so I do.

I think I write about three. My landlord doesn't do direct deposit, and my hair salon doesn't take credit cards, and there is usually some stray one in there somewhere, like to the pet sitter or something.

They have a cute little apartment off of Royal near Ursulines.

I know exactly where that is!

And I'm glad it's still there.
