We had DQ for lunch and Olivia dipped her french fries in her ice cream. I never taught her that. Must be genetic.
I have the lunch envy!!!
I like the ruffles.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
When someone asks you to arrange a meeting, and you painstakingly contact everyone on a list, find the best possible time for the group, reserve a room, and send out an email notification--and then two days later get a message from the person who asked you to do all this, saying that the group that you'd scheduled for next Wed. at 10:30 will be meeting Thurs. at 10:00, and can you please let the group know? With no explanation, apology, or even acknowledgment that you'd arranged something different.
I'm a fan of the passive aggressive innocent response. "Of course! Is that in addition to the 10:30 Wednesday meeting that all participants already confirmed for, or do we need to ask them all to reschedule?"

Heh. Wish I hadn't already replied.
Turns out there was a perfectly good rationale--K had a conflict come up on Wednesday, and he's the chair of the committee. So if N had just included a line to that effect and said, "So I went ahead and found a new time because I know you're busy," all would've been good. Or, just, you know, rescheduled and not bothered to tell me at all. I'm fine with being TOTALLY out of the occasional loop. It's just partial info that drives me crazy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Eyelids have de-puffed about 80% -- now they just look puffy like I didn't get enough sleep. (Which, come to think of it, I didn't.)
Still itchy, still flushed, still waiting for Dr. to call me back. (To be fair, I didn't say it was an emergency when I called his office, and he generally returns calls after 4:30 p.m. or so. And since I don't seem to be in anaphylactic shock, I can wait for the callback.)

It is possible that I have written more articles about stress corrosion cracking of dissimilar metal welds than anyone else alive. Yes, I'm writing another one.

relieved to hear that Teppy is mostly de-puffed...

Ok. I just tried calling the school, yet again, and still no answer. I left a VM and an e-mail, and in both I asked that they please let me know they got the message, and I haven't heard anything. I'm supposed to be to work in an hour, and I have no idea if they know I'm not coming. I don't know what to do, but I'll be at a doctor's appointment about the time they would start wondering where I am.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
ugg. Good start to the day. I grabbed my lunch bucket, but left the breakfast sitting on the counter. So I ate my lunch apple for breakfast. Still hungry, and now have half as much food for lunch.

Sorry to hear that omnis. I'm trying to figure out what time to head your direction since tonight's session puts me smack in the middle of rush hour. You interested in dinner once we are done playing music?

You interested in dinner once we are done playing music?Very much so. Movie? Dave & Busters? or just food? All is good by me.
IOmeN, the craziness that was to start happening today got postponed till tomorrow. For the love of god, it's like pulling a band-aid off one hair at a time.
IO-OmeN, the ubbber boss of the theater almost paid me a compliment in a meeting with my soon-to-be-departed-much-favorite-boss. To the effect of "ya, O_A did a real good job on that show as designer, was very responsive with our changes, and it sounded good". Closest thing to a compliment that man has said in a good 6 years or so! (btw, he hates me, but that is a whole other discussion). So ya. Fun times. Woot.
Sean, that is awesome news! Maybe you can use that to work for Verizon as the FIOS the nation.
