Poor CJ. I'm working from home today, too. Unfortunately due to a sick me rather than a sick cute kidlet.

I'm enjoying the part where I'm still in my pajamas, but not really liking the part where I actually have to work.

The Laugh-Out-Loud Cats are brilliant.

I went to trapeze school yesterday! Incredibly fun. The lesson got rained out halfway through, but I still got to swing twice.

The commute there, though, is not fun. There's one train in the morning that goes directly from DC to Camden Yards, which is the closest station to the trapeze school. If we miss that train, though (which we did -- my fault, I overslept), it's MARC to BWI Rail Station, shuttle bus from BWI Rail Station to BWI Airport, and then light rail from BWI to Camden Yards. I counted, and we were on ten different vehicles yesterday. (Two metro trains, one MARC train, one bus, and one light rail in each direction.)

Rather sore today. And the bottom of my ribcage hurts from the safety harness belt. But still, way fun.

Feel better CJ.

I have a decision to make. I also have a bag to make, and that is what the decision is about. My lovely shiny blue back pack that I bought to use on my pretty purple bicycle is getting worn out. Now that I no longer use the bike for transportation, I don't need a back pack, per se. I do, however, need a bag that will carry my big folder that has all my time sheets and expense forms for all the locations I work at, as well as a pair of shoes, at least one bottle of water, a book or three, and the other assorted items one usually carries in a purse. So, do I make a messenger-style bag out of three very fetching tapestry style placemats, or do I make a large draw-string style satchel out of some blue and gold floral apholstery material?

Nicole - I'm working from home too and my VPN keeps dying. No fun. But I'm in PJ's and Cars is on the tv.

WindSparrow - I'd go with a messenger style bag. Just cause.

Trapeze school sounds so much fun.

hey! cool!!! I was walking over there yesterday after work!

The trapeze school sounds WAY fun. Hil, I started looking for local trapeze classes after the last time you posted about going. Sadly, I couldn't find any. I'm positive that more cool people would live here if we had a trapeze school.

If I can just finish up this one report that I'm working on (waiting on input from other people), I can retire to my bed and read Harry Potter. C'mon, people! Hurry up with the info!

This. Because it sounds purty.

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

It's my husband's Bloody Mary. I may be leaving stuff out, but I think that's it.

juliana! I need the size of your noggin!

Very cool!

Feel better~ma to CJ and Nicole.

I over did it yesterday, by a lot. I don't use my crutches at home, so I haven't really used them for a while. Yesterday I walked a huge outdoor mall, and today my arms and back hate me.

The chocolate vodka is a must next time we make Boston Cream Pie martinis! The more chocolate, the better. Thanks for the tip -t.

Go messenger bag - and take pictures.

I am also on team Work From Home today. I got contacted by someone looking to hire through LinkedIn. This is the second time I've been contacted about a job possibility through LI. Pretty good tool, I think! Anyway, the job sounds kind of cool but it's with a company that does marketing. Eh. OTOH, it could be good to do similar work in an entirely different field. I'm going to talk with her later today.
