This weekend will be spent making and wrapping and mailing holiday food-gift things. (On a far lesser scale than in years past, as I have not the energy to be really elaborate.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Painting another teacher's nails. Somehow I've been IDed as the girl who's good with nails.

They have professionals for this, you know. How much is a manicure in your area?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know that fence we're building to keep the illegal immigrants out?

Border Fence Firm Snared for Hiring Illegal Workers

A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly $5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company's work includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico.

After an immigration check in 1999 found undocumented workers on its payroll, Golden State promised to clean house. But when followup checks were made in 2004 and 2005, some of those same illegal workers were still on the job. In fact, U-S Attorney Carol Lam says as many as a third of the company's 750 workers may have been in the country illegally.

That's my point. With a final two, the jury would be ten. By having three in the final, the jury numbers work.

this weekend.

Oh nothing much. Except going to freaking Mexico! Still can't quite believe I'm doing this.

I read it as bon commenting that the other teacher should go to a professional instead of having ita do her nails for her.
