poor Ms. Louise. I feel a little like I know her from your conversations, and am sending ~ma her way. Also, you are a great neighbor, sarameg!
What she said.
OMG. I was in meetings most of yesterday, and will probably be again today. I just want to sit in my office and not talk to people!
oh sara, that is just so sad. Poor Miss Louise.
ION, my chest cold/cough getting better, but I had a horrible stomach ache this morning.
really do not want to work, but am determined to get 2 late things moving today - I really need to complete at least one.
I'm trying to avoid any news about the Baby Grace case because it'll be a dead heat between my heart breaking from the sadness and my head exploding from the anger. Much better to go contemplate the train wreck that is Britney Spears, so I can laugh and point nearly guilt-free.
happy to be ignorant of that particular news item.
am working my way through late thing #1.
Yeah, the details of the case are definitely crazy-making. And impossible to avoid down here.
sarameg - how awful.
Welcome L.R.
And it is STILL less than 20 degrees here. I'm just not ready for this. (I did, however, wear the scarf I knitted. I still haven't blocked it due to my slackeriness but it was nice and warm and more contrasty with my black coat than I had hoped. The scarf is a dark inky blue.)
Once, long ago, I got a catalog that was sort of like Heifer International but with a twist -- you'd sponsor a wild rice plantation and then get a bag of wild rice every three months, or you'd buy a family a cow and get regular shipments of cheese, etc. You don't get all the products, obviously, but you do get a tangible present along with the sponsoring gig. Has anyone heard of something like that?
I'm feeling the desire to do something drastic with my hair. I can't tell if it's an honest desire for change, hormones, or if I'm really procrastinating
that much
on my Yuletide story.
Ooh! You should bleach it and dye it pink, because I've been meaning to do mine, but I don't know if I can be bothered before Christmas, but if you do it, I don't have to feel bad, because the universe will be in balance. Or something.
