vw- I want to tell you that I am so amazingly proud of you for accomplishing what you have over the past few years. I am so very honored to call you friend and hope that one day, I can accomplish my own goals with as much aplomb and dedication as you have.

Cheers, woman. You rock my world.

congratulations. I remember that feeling, vaguely. It's been gone a long time.

Thanks so much, love. And you know what? You totally will do it. And I'm not just saying that.

yes, val totally rocks and I love the inscription. Very accurate and appropriate.

Half naked Winchester. something about some movie

Congrats, vw. Any word on when you'll defend?

I am trying to do research for 2 pairs of sandals this summer. One should be casual, and one a little more dressy (but still very comfortable); one should be black and one should be brown/tan.

What do we think of these?

I don't want to work today. I'm avoiding doing anything. I can't leave, because 4 of us from work are going to the Angels game tonight (which I am looking forward to!), but in the meantime, I don't want to work today.

Does anyone have a Fast Forward machine to skip ahead in time? Just short bursts? 2-3 hours at a time or something? ok. Thanks! e-mail when it's done.

Nora, I love Clarks, though I've never worn that particular style.

I'm a surprisingly efficient shirker today. I've been here almost two hours and done less than 15 minutes of work.
