Oh, congratulations, Nora! I thought it very loud and several times, but I don't think I actually posted it. Hurray for giving notice and leaving on good terms and good luck with the new job!

I've had quite a few pedicures, sometimes including nail polishing, sometimes not. It's always involved hard skin being grated/carved away until entirely new feet are revealed. It rocks!

ION, last night I dreamed that we had our next F2F in Austin, Texas, and stumbled on a funky ramshackle but delicious restaurant that was going out of business, and pooled our money to buy it out and use it as an ongoing Buffista fund-raising concern. The more nomadic Buffistas worked out a schedule of 3 or 4 of them living in Austin, in a crazy sort of treehousey thing behind the restaurant, for a couple months at a time running things, then wandering off and passing the management on to the next band of nomadic Buffistas.
I WOULD SO DO THIS. Can we make it a honky-tonk? I have the hat for it!!!!

Much ~ma, SJ!
Work~ma and family~ma to those what need 'em.
Wee Carolina wrens have hatched in my fuschia. I'm exceedingly happy about this. Maybe a little too happy—I probably need a real pet. Still, it's fun to see the parents dashing in and out with beaks full of bugs. Mmmmmm, mushed moth bits!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have the hat for it!!!!
Damn! Put you and Jesse together and your combined Sassy Cowgirl powers could bring the universe to its knees!
Tangentially, I want to live in a treehouse so bad it hurts. Hec and I went to Paxton Gate on Sunday and I saw a big book of actually-lived-in-by-grownups treehouses, and I had to put it down and walk away because the longing was killing me ded.

Very cool, Calli!
Living in a treehouse and running a Buffista restaurant for a while sounds very attractive right now.

Doesn't it, though?

I can totally see you living in a treehouse in 5 years or so, as long as you had power and DSL.

Ooo!! I love Carolina Wrens! I was so hoping the one that lived in our holly back in VA would nest there. Seethingly jealous.
Hmm...since I have no drill currently, I guess I'll see about scheduling a pedicure. My feet are the nast, even worse than when I was doing martial arts three times a week.
KICKIN' hat, juliana! You are HAWT.

JZ, if you're ever near Durham you might like to visit my apartment. It's not quite a treehouse, but the back deck is surrounded by maples so that, when you're sitting down, it feels just like you're sitting in a platform on a tree. And, also, occasionally, a Carolina wren wildlife show. I'm glad others find them as cute as I do.
It also means I'll never be able to grow herbs back there, but that's a small price to pay for seeing nothing but green in the heat of the summer.

I keep expecting to be fired for my apparent incompetence, but they can't because A) they need someone to write these reports NOW
Don't forget the cover sheets.
and B) as far as I know, I still don't actually work here.
Also, do you have red Swingline stapler I could borrow?
