Whoah. I'm kinda dizzy with the catchup read. Can't quite separate it all out, but my thoughts go out to Drew and his family. It's good that your father made it back to his home.

Congratulations on the Google in-person interviews, shrift. Mine turned out surprisingly technical, but I think you're better set up for that kind of fastball.

Allyson, good that your family got the redaction.

Skipping in order to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is juliana's birthday.

Happy birthday, juliana! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

happy birthday juliana!

Happy Birthday, juliana!

I just got caught up on yesterdays posts. I learned all kinds of things about communion wafers that I didn't know I didn't know. (I don't think I'd ever seen one before, and the pictures in the link to the website selling them didn't look anything at all like what I'd been picturing in my head.)

Happy birthday, juliana!

Happy birthday, juliana!

Happy Birthday, juliana!

Hippo Birdies!

I can't for the life of me remember what the communion bread looked like at my childhood Presbyterian church. I remember being jealous when a Methodist friend commented that her church actually used rather delicious wine, though.

happy birthday juliana!

Buffistas, I am so tired. I came home last night and there were 3 million flies on my kitchen window. I killed them all. Then it turns out the lady downstairs is having the same problem on the window below. They are both right above the garbage cans for all the apartments and they were not emptied this week and there is garbage everywhere. So we both called the landlord, and I had to pick up my house, which was messy with the kinds of things that don't attract flies-- like clean laundry. I have been up since 3 am, and am now going to work.

Although, at least I have a mostly clean house.

I always thought the communion wafers tasted like the same stuff that Ice cream cones are made of.
