Why did none of you people tell me about the existence of dark chocolate-covered Altoids? I only just discovered them today, and I think I need to start hoarding boxes.

I'm sorry! Although I think you've answered your own question there.

They're like teeny peppermint patties!

OK, the host of Hollywood 411 on the TV Guide channel just asked Liza Minelli out on a date. That's as solid a confirmation of someone's gayness as it's possible to get without actually sleeping with him, isn't it?

Coworker was supposed to email us as to the status of his jury duty tonight. As of now, he has not. I really REALLY don't want him to be on a jury so I can take Weds. on offf. Crap. Don't have a good feeling about this.

Also have either a toothache or sinus issues. Can't tell. Pressure systems changing make it hard to tell. Hope it is sinus, because I still haven't found a new dentist on my plan. I'll go back to the old one, but it'll cost me a lot.

Yes.

Ugh, Sara.

I'm playing Scrabulous, and I have 2 Is and THREE As. WTFF?

I hate that shit. Sometimes you just have to swap tiles.

OTOH, I was playing a stranger last night, and it was almost embarassing how good my tiles were.

I'm almost a hundred points ahead, but STILL

I'm trying to be proactive about the pain thing. It started when I had to have the windows open and I've been sneezing a lot. But. Well, there are a few buts. Like chewing on plastic ice cubes (bananas, grapes, limes, flamingos) helps a lot.

As for the family thing, I can put my parents on a train to do the DC thing on Weds, and get another coworker to cover by getting her chocolate. I just don't like doing that to them. But, parents.

sara, feel free to give them my number to use if they have a problem or a question.

Do I have it? My email is my username.1 at gmail.

They'll probably be fine, they've both toured D.C. on their own without me. I just wish I could go with them.
