Here ya go, Jen. [link]

Ah, ha, ha, ha! And now I realize I'm thinking of footy pjs, and not onsies. Still the glitter applique is... a thing to behold.

ETA:

In either case I'm supposed to be charming,

I've no doubt you were.

but today's shoes are much less formal than last Friday's.

Heh.

I just heard the publisher considering my book will hold a meeting "sometime after next week". I gather that due to it being summer they are having trouble getting everyone in the same room who needs to be in the same room.

Well, I'm not homeless now, too.

Well, I'm following the definition that is absolutely correct in my head, but may not be elsewhere, which is that while living situations that are not your own home may be perfectly acceptable, you don't become not-homeless as an adult unless you have your own place. This is doubtless shows all sorts of prejudice against those with alternative living arrangements, but I sure felt newly not-homeless when I moved out from my aunt and uncle's place. Ydefinition-of-not-homelessMV.

It is, indeed, a fun story and I hope this works out well for you, TiVo and all.

Pedicure, groceries, new hand mixer, deposits, one section of homework, and one load laundry accomplished. I'm now sharing some turkey jerky with my kitty. She sure is greedy!

and I have lime popsicles from there in the freezer. Limes rule!

I just had a TJ's lime popsicle! It was so soothing for my throat!

Aw, and they're good therapy, too. I hope you feel better soon, soon, soon.

P.C. If your uncles garage still suffers from skunk odor, HE CAN clean it with tomato juice, then use normal cleaning methods to clean the tomato juice out. I'm guessing someone has shared this information with you by now, or time has done the trick.

I think the odor went away on its own. It wasn't that bad, really.

The cute HR intern is cooking up some sort of intern lunch, and she asked me to write a bio. Here it is:

If [P-C] had a dollar for every time someone described his double major of biochemistry and English at Rice University as an "interesting combination," he would not need a job. He has not received so much as a nickel, however. Turning his dichotomous interests to the field of medical writing, then, was his only recourse. Additionally armed with a Master's in pharmacology from the University of Michigan, he can say, "That doesn't make sense," in response to a host of statements, be they scientifically unsound or grammatically incomprehensible. With his sharp wit and keen intellect, though, he will make them make sense. He cannot, however, leap tall buildings in a single bound. It takes him at least three.

that's awesome PC! It's only that good because I bought you that book on Technical Writing :)

She came up to me and said she needed a bio from me, and I asked her what about, and she just said, "About you." I warned her that giving me freedom was a bad idea.

She said the bio wasn't at all what she was expecting, and I told her that's what happens when you give me freedom. Now HR wants me to punch up their bios too.

Yay, P-C!!! Congratulations on your new apartment!!!

I had a fun afternoon shopping with thessaly. Now I am home with lots of yummy food, but I am not sure if it is too hot to cook.
