Steph, that is just a silly question.

Heh. True dat. I just figured it was more polite to phrase it as a question rather than "Jilli! Go buy these now!"

"Hey Jilli! I have a black victorian lace trimmed Johnny Depp in just your size. Do you need one?"

I think that's something we all need. IJS. (I also deeply covet the bat plates.)

Hee.

I've just ordered breakfast. Pancakes and bacon and orange juice.

My co-worker thought pigs in a blanket were pancakes wrapped around bacon.

Em's home sick with Joe.

Thanks for the interview ~ ma. I don't think I'm going to get it, though. She has concerns about my already having a full time job and a 2 year old. @@ Still, if you have the cash, it's an awesome idea. You go and pretty much make up dinners into plastic baggies or aluminum pans. Then you take it home and freeze them. All done up, just pop it into the oven when your ready. And gods the food looks good. it's www.dreamdinners.com.

{{sumi}} Ouch. Not fun at all.

Oh, and Laura, if you're around, we are close to Oswego -- it's just sixteen miles north of us.

Ah, my niece lives in Hannibal which is close to you. I've always been annoyed by how bizarre it is to try and drive to see her because I have to go such a long involved route. Yay for having a benefit for making the drive now. Invited or not I am visiting you the next time I go see her. I didn't see her last summer, shame on me. She's was my first niece (36 now) and I adore her, but she has made some bad life choices. (like moving to Hannibal!) But my sister and the rest of our family live in hope that she will wake up.

I know I complain about my office a lot. Today we have free breakfast. Does not compensate for yesterday, but still - nice.

I think that idea started in Texas with Super Suppers. There are freakin' franchises everywhere now (including one here). I would try them except I don't have enough freezer space to store the packages that the sell (they do the dinners in orders of 6 or 12).

Ouch, sumi! All your poor leg muscles, and poor you! And even more galling and extra-painful that it happened because of taking one simple random step. Plus the whole not-heat-having. You poor critter.

Bleah. Back to work today -- just for 2 hours a day on a short-term data-entry project; if I do this, I get to bank up comp time and take Fridays off for the first month or so that I'm back at work for reals, so this is totally worth it. I'm just lacking motivation to actually get going. I should tattoo "A month of Fridays off! A month of 4-day work weeks!" on the inside of my droopy eyelids.

Who stole my motivation? I just ran errands (and, crossed off half of my to do list in the process), but now I feel like doing nothing. Maybe I'll nap.

Work ~ma, JZ. It's too bad I can't give you some of my sick leave, since I have about 6 months saved up in the UC system, and only about 6 weeks left to work. I should have been taking Fridays off a lot more often!

I'm at home waiting for a delivery of our new dining room chairs. The delivery is supposed to happen at 9 a.m. Bets on when they actually show?

Bets on when they actually show?

3 kittens on 5:17 p.m.

Oh! This reminds me! I found out last night that my quilt store does a Casino night. Instead of buying chips, you but fat eighths. You bet fabric! It's brilliant! I can't wait! Of course, I need to learn poker then, but still.
