Yer welcome, Amy. Gotta warn ya, the packaging aint pretty! Be careful when you open it, lots of stuff was just randomly stuffed into the box until it couldn't fit anymore!
I like the ruffles.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I actually met a mary kay rep - she seems fairly low key - and I 'll let you know after I meet with her - it is skin care I am looking for.
I am not a morning person. But I'm not grumpy in the am - because that would take too much energy. my favorite day of the week - Tuesday because I work 12 - 8. I whined a lot to day because I had to be at a meeting 30+ minutes away by 930.
when I can live my life on my hours i go to bed between midnight and 1 and wake up naturally around 8/830.
I grew up in a family that thinks 530 is a normal time to wake up. and they have know me all my life. they are still confused by me.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, my! It just started raining, and it's really coming down. I'm glad it waited, as we had an amazing dinner by the beach at the Ritz Carlton. Then, on the way home, we saw Eric Clapton's yacht. Crazy day.
I know, I know...you all feel so sorry for me.

ION - I just offered to _pay_ dh to wash the pot where the Great Chili Incident of 08 took place. I can't go in there. I HATE cloves now.

You put cloves in chili? Interesting. I'm more chili/cinammon/cumin/chocolate yself.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm completely not a morning person. Coffee doesn't really help - it opens my eyes, but doesn't really make me much more alert. It generally takes me at least half an hour or so before I can reliably form words. (Oddly, my ability to type comes back to me earlier than my ability to talk does. Not sure why. But I can type complete sentences when I still have to really concentrate to say a word or two.)
I went and had Buddha's Delight for lunch, but I was reading and distracted until 1/2 way through an drealized there was no tofu in it. I asked and they don't put tofu in their Buddha's delight. Which I think is weird.
I've never seen tofu in Buddha's delight. Just vegetables.

I give in! I give in! What the hell is 'Buddha's Delight'?
Because I'm guessing it's not incense and garlands of flowers, contrary to what one might think around these parts.

Commom dish at Chinese restaurants. Vegetarian. Usually a bunch of vegetables, with either white or brown sauce. And, it seems, sometimes tofu.

Ah, okay. Is it an American Chinese thing, do you think?

Probably.
In a few cities here, Indian Chinese food has been getting popular. It's restaurants that serve what's served as Chinese food at Chinese restaurants in India. Which is totally not what's actually eaten in China, but also totally not what's served at the typical American Chinese restaurant, either. It's pretty cool. (I've found one restaurant, in an Indian neighborhood in NJ, that sells vegetarian Indian Chinese food. Tried it once. Ended up with an eggroll wrapper wrapped around some sort of Indian-spiced vegetables. Interesting.)
