If I were there, Kristin, I would break into your place for you.

She's good at it, too.

I feel so bad for him, and I'm trying to not panic about malaria or dengue fever.

I'm trying not worry about West Nile. Mainly, I know how miserable he is because I have HORRIBLE reactions to bites. DH doesn't welt up AT ALL. I wish Owen had inherited that trait. The bites don't seem to bother Liv, though.

Mal got the worst of both parents I think: He's tasty to mosquitoes like his father, but welts up something awful like me.

I've temporarily taken refuge in my car. I've cranked the AC and stacked the groceries near the fans. Thank goodness for hybrids. In theory landlady T. Should be home shortly, but who knows if she's working late or has after work plans. Dammit, I can't believe I did this.

Spoiled milk:

Note to self: hide spare key somewhere if I ever get into my house again.

I could drive down to Burbank and beg fridge space from my friend Tina, but that would be a 40 minute drive since it's rush hour. Dammit, I wish I knew if landlady were coming home soon.

Kristin, can you go buy a bag of ice at a convenience store?

It has Vodka (preferrably Monopolova), tomato juice, clam juice, olive juice, pepper, hot sauce (Louisiana Crystal is our fave), celery salt, squeezed lemon juice (go ahead and throw em in), and file. Garnish with either/and pickled green beans, celery, olives.

Hmm, I wonder if I'd have a bad reaction with the clam juice.

Kristin! Ack! Wish I had a spare, tho with the recording session and the drive, I think ND will be home sooner. Much Key~ma that T comes home soon with keys a dangling.

So I guess the question is... how much ice cream have ya been eating in the cool prius?

Good idea, Dana. I'm going to give landlady another 5 minutes and then head to a friend's house.

Kristin, is orange water cooler thingie still out there? is it clean? If you put frozies in there with ice, they'd prob keep for a while. Is there a cooler in the garage? That is a combo, ya? Unlock and get in, fill with ice and save some spoilage.

What drink is this? It sounds like a classic Canadian Bloody Caesar, until you get to the file.

gronk.

So freaking tired, I just got home. My supervisor is leaving (no!) and I thought we were getting presents for her for her party next week. No, no we are getting her engraved stuff today. So I called Things Remembered, my boss paid, they'd have it for us by 6. I went to pick it up. They spelled her last name wrong. On three things (we got her a nameplate, clock, business card holder, and letter opener -- the letter opener had her initials so it was okay). So I left and went back around 7, she wasn't finished yet. AND one of the things had a scratch on it. Not huge but still visible and not acceptable. So she did the plate again.

And there was no gift wrapping, so I had to come home and gift wrap that. It's done! Everything is amazing.

However, G'ma called and asked if I could spend the weekend with her and I said yes, I'd be there tomorrow night. (this was before realizing I had to go to Things Remembered). Now I have laundry to do for the whole weekend, dishes to do, and I need to shave my legs.

Blergh.
