Happy Birthday, Erin!
Your book idea is a great one! My step-mother just retired from teaching this year, but for the last many years taught Latino high school kids who were not huge into reading. I will ask her for suggestions.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I ran out of my normal coffee and tried a different roast this morning. It tastes different. I'm not sure I like it.

Digs are treating me wonderfully. Gonna try to finish up some stuff here today and take some pictures. YAY!
Toto seems a little better today. He was just playing pretty wildly, which he hasn't done in a few days. Of course, I'm sure the neighbor downstairs LOVES hearing him chase and slide across the floors at 7:30am.

This is good to hear.

As is this.

I'm glad you and Toto are settling nicely into your new place, vw.
Well, I had the interview yesterday. If they're looking for someone to alternately babble and go into long, panicked silences as she mentally scrounges for words, they'll have to pick me. Seriously, I have no idea how I did, but I did get a feel for the place (a small NGO working to cut down on the rate of HIV infection in third world countries, especially Africa). If they make me any kind of decent offer, I'll take it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, Calli.
I'm home today. I thought I'd just stubbed my toe. Then I looked at it, and it had turned several colors that would look much better if they were elsewhere. Can't take a shoe today and have plenty of sick leave.

Good luck, Calli.
Happy Belated Birthday, Erin!!!

That sounds like an awesome job, Calli! Lots of ~ma to you.

I've used this with a few "other" people recently, and it's been a big hit.
One of the benefits of the DH being in this War College program is that he picks up and uses words and phrases from his military colleagues, which often confuse others (like "call the ball"), so now at least he understands why some buffistaspeak tends to creep into my everyday language.
Another benefit is the pair of USAWC sweats I'm wearing right now - at work. It's so freaking cold in my office I've had to put sweats and a sweater on over my work clothes, and sit on my feet.
