'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy birthday sarameg, I wish you many treats.
I am quite impressed with the fiercesomeness that is msbelle.
Isaac had a hard time last night for some reason, woke up and couldn't fall back asleep either in his bed or ours. DH got fed up and went to go sleep with Franny and Isaac stayed with me, but I was exhausted so I fell asleep anyway. Now the boy is snoozing away (very unlike him to be in bed at 7:30). I'm guessing he may be going through another growth spurt. Yipes!
Tennis fans: have you seen the pictures of various tennis stars dressed in the uniforms of other Olympic sports?
Why is my boss' secretary so incompetent? My group went to a baseball game, I let her know where our tickets were, so that she could include her group. She asks me where to buy tickets. I tell her "on the website". She emails me back and says that she can't find it @@ (hello! www. nameofbaseballteam.com) Today, she emails me about a seminar, and whether lunch will be provided. I say bag lunches will be provided for my group. Her response-How much are they. Five bucks says that when I respond, she'll ask me how to get them.
Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon....
Part of this enthusiasm comes from the fact that, as one hit man told another in "Pulp Fiction," "bacon tastes gooood." Or, to put a finer point on it: "Bacon has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, smoky flavor, and the perfect balance of meaty and crispy texture," says James Villa, the author of "The Bacon Cookbook." "It's the most perfect food ever created by the gods."
...
Sarah Katherine Lewis recently wrote a book called "Sex and Bacon: Why I Love Things That Are Very, Very Bad for Me." It's a series of funny, outré personal essays, with a title meant to transmit a kind of wanton lustiness. Bacon is the perfect food with which to do so. "Sex and Lamb Patties," after all, doesn't quite have the frisson.
To love bacon is to sink your teeth into life, to refuse to nibble at the side salad or sip on the seltzer with a twist of lime. "Nobody wants to be wholesome, boring Betty when they could be sexy, hot-to-trot Veronica," Sarah Katherine Lewis says. "Pour me a drink, light me a smoke, fry me up a pan of bacon, and let's get it on."
Happy birthday to sarameg!

Crap -- instead of getting cancelled, my Big Boss meeting got moved from next Tuesday to this Friday. I have nothing to report!
I have a meeting with Big!Boss at 11:00 am. She is still not here-- it is 11:07. I bet she won't be here until 11:30-- she rarely arrives before noon. But she asked for the meeting time! And I know when she arrives she'll be all like "get moving, hurry up, get in here, we are meeting!"
Stupid Big Boss meetings! Why so annoying to us?!?
I know! I have a lot to report-- perhaps you could report my stuff?
