It was a fun night, meara. There were only a few people -- 6 -- cause so many of our friends went to Burning Man, and other places for LDW.
I'm glad I woke up early-ish today. I gotta clean and do laundry and work on teacher-y stuff.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I found the One True Work Shoes!
I am on that quest. I basically want the same shoe you described except a flat to 1" heel. No heels for me when standing/walking for most of the day. I continue to quest.
TV today sucks when you don't have cable. Jerry Lewis Telethon on one channel, St. Jude telethon on another. Both good causes, but not what I want for my tv viewing.

I found mine -- Steve Madden wedges -- at Off Broadway Shoes, for $49.99.
I think they are last season's because I can't find them on the internet anywhere.

I'm doing a little laundry, but need more quarters before I could really do most of it. Much as freshly laundered sheets are fabulous, there's something not as thrilling about doing a load of sheets as there is about doing clothes. Why is that? But the sheets needed doing...you'd THINK, sleeping with women, I wouldn't have as much of a problem. But noooooo.

I just bought my ticket to St. Thomas, USVI for January. I'll be gone for 17 days. WOOT!!!!!!!

The status is NOT quo.
I really miss rain. You Pacific Northwestistas are really making me want to move north. I love it up there so very much.
Not going to happen, of course. ND kind of has to be in LA, and I love my school here too. Also, he has a serious issue with being soggy, which might be a problem.
But some days I really wish it were possible.
ETA: Oh vw, I'm very happy for you and extremely jealous. Have so much fun!

Rain. Bah. Humbug.

I'm getting the pig!
Worst line from a commercial for DIY - "Oh yeah? Wait'll you see what I do in the bathroom."
There are so many other ways she could've worded that. IJS.
Last night I had the niggling feeling that I had to be up by 5am today to do a couple of reports (from home). I came to the conclusion that I had 5am in my head just because that's when I normally get up on a non holiday Monday. But no - the reason was because SAP (the system I need for my reports) was going to be down for a scheduled outage from 6am - 6pm. Too bad I didn't remember that until 7 this morning. Grr.
I am sooooo jealous, vw!

That is so sad and wrong. 5AM is just wrong. Gah.
Of course, it's even worse that you were supposed ot be up then on a holiday!

There are two bad things about being in St. Thomas for 17 days.
1) The people I am staying with only have dial-up. There are only 2 internet cafes on the island, and really, I can't afford to rack up the hours there.
2) My cell phone charges for roaming.
Don't you feel sorry for me? I'm gonna have to just be a beach bumb the whole time. It's gonna be so hard!
