Calm and rest and no burny and quick resolution of paperwork ~ma to all.
Thanks for the weather vibes Beverly. I'm a bit worried. Yesterday, we had several torrential downpours and the weather predictions are not good for the weekend. Then again, on the March, when we stayed in Lincoln NE, we had so much rain on one site that we were flooded with 18 inches of water. Sadly, a tent is no protection from such. It was a royal mess and we had to beg big trucks off the innerstate to come tow our own trucks out of the apocalyptic mud.
If that didn't kill us, a bit of rain this weekend won't be that bad.
As the event planners among us can sympathize, I'm sure, this week, two days before the event? Not the time to a) say you are coming with no money for registration, b) make demands to have a 'tech assistant' standing by to help with your multimedia slide presentation, c) suggest that perhaps the organizers (mainly ME) rethink the arrangements because you now have a new!brilliant plan.
AAAAggghhh.
I love these people. Mean it.
I'm making biscuits for breakfast. We're all slow moving and "it's summer" around Chez Zmayhem.
After I drop Emmett off at day camp, I'm collecting his oldest god-sister, Emily, and bringing her into the city for an all day explore and sleepover tonight. She's going into her senior year of high school next fall, and is doing a program at Columbia for all of July. (Ahhh, July in NYC.)
She's one of my favorite teenagers. She's kind but snarky and has all her nerdly enthusiasms in order: theater geek (director), Shakespeare geek, wrote a Harry Potter fanfic novel when she was in middle school, loves the Venture Brothers. She's also tall and pretty and used to be on the boy's wrestling team until she got a shoulder injury.

Will there be gravy?

Sounds good to me... not right this minute. My stomach's not awake either, but in general.
Eep. Even knowing this can't be me (as I haven't said anything like that lately), I cringe reflexively going "crap, have I pissed Vortex off? I don't want to piss Vortex off! I don't see her enough lately!"
Not you, pumpkin :) It's doubly annoying because I have complained to said friend many times when other people have done this.
Dinner tonight: Roasted vegetables over couscous (both made with fresh herbs that we have grown), and a caprese salad with yellow tomatoes.
mm. I was forced to go out last night (power was out in my ‘hood due to a thunderstorm) Tried a local place. Was mediocre. First, the guy tried to seat me in the smoking section, then shoved me into a corner in the back. Scallops were good, but calamari, while very tender, was also very flavorless. Good dipping sauce, though.
I am having a crabcake. I might have cherries later. And possibly some coffee ice cream. Possibly as a milkshake.
Damn, should have gone to meara’s
In conclusion: Let's make out.

I'm filling out Ben's camp forms, and there's a line under his name and address that reads: C/S/Z. Anyone know what the hell that means?
Oh. Well, now I feel dumb. I put all that on the "address" line.
Thanks, Toddson!
Don't feel dumb, AmyLiz. I have an annoying habit of not looking at all the lines on those kinds of forms and doing exactly what you did. I never was much good at following directions.
Just got a call from my manager. Us team leads have to go in at look around our areas to determine if there is anything we can work on tomorrow if they can get the stink out. The fire was in the department right next to mine, so I'm thinking pretty stinky. Also, pretty wet. The sprinklers went off and dropped 300 pounds of water a minute. It was pretty flooded last night and they've had a cleaning crew in there since 1 am this morning. Oh, joy.
