Is there no middle eastern curry option? Cause that's what I'd choose...mmmm....now I want lunch, even though I just ate breakfast...

So, I had a 7AM conference call/webcast. Which was a training for me and one other person, so I kinda had to be marginally functional. I managed to get through it. I then went to the doughnut shop for coffee and a doughnut. (OMG. Firefox spellcheck refuses to recognize "doughnut", but does say "donut" is OK) I bought them, and then stood waiting for the latte.

The girl making the latte (after I had paid) looked at me and said "do you want two shots?" and I, puzzled (cause usually that's an extra charge, no?), said "...sure!" and she gave me my latte, complete with the little picture in the foam from the pour. Instead of the usual leafy shape, it was a heart!

I was like "Huh. Did the barista like me?"

Then I got home and looked in the mirror, and I looked like a CRAZY HOMELESS PERSON. Or, y'know, someone who had rolled out of bed in pajamas for a 7AM conference call and not brushed her hair and then gone directly to the store. Um. I think she felt sorry for me. :)

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Hey meara, that has all the earmarks of a "meet cute" opening.

Heh. My ex Michelle, when she moved from Minneapolis to DC (er, this was after we broke up), was going to the coffee shop in the student union all the time, and kinda though the manager of the shop was flirting with her, but wasn't sure, and was mentioning this to us....and then the girl was like, GIVING HER FREE COFFEE, and we were like "Dude, that's flirting with you"....and finally the girl was WRITING HER NUMBER on Michelle's coffee cup!! We were like "Michelle, do you need a bigger sign????" They've been dating for over a year and a half now, and are moving to Minneapolis in a couple weeks, after Michelle graduates.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh Raq. I keep seeing that shot of Mal and Legion stalking the Roomba: brothers in arms.

Peace and rest to a good cat, good memories and peace to his humans.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

finally the girl was WRITING HER NUMBER on Michelle's coffee cup!!

I think that even *I*, Captain Oblivious of the 23rd Airmen's Obliviousness Brigade, would pick up on the interest by that point.

My son is cross dressing again this morning. He's wearing a hot pink Tinkerbell t-shirt and a flowery skirt. He tells me his name is Ella today. Meanwhile Frances tells me she's pretending to be his pregnant teacher (there was a rash of pregnancies at their daycare a while back).

I remember pretending to give birth a lot, when my mom was pregnant with my sister, and I had just found out where babies come from...(I was four)

I have been reading incorrect student sentences for an hour and am getting mush brain. "The fight between her father and her" or "The fight between she and her father"?
