Holy crap, y'all, if Lulu had been around when we first did this would it ever have saved us a load of trouble. And expense.

I give to you The Buffistas Cookbook, second printing.

Thanks, Amy!

Happy birthday Nicole! And happy belated birthday to Matilda!

So, I worked my ass off the past week, and there's just this one more day to go through, but I officially don't care: the Jewish New Year's Eve is tomorrow, and I'm taking Thursday off, which means I'll have entire week off work. Take that, universe! I'm excited for it. Mostly for the holiday itself, although my sister won't be home for it.

The Buffistas Cookbook is a great, awesome surprise to start the morning with. Thank you all who made it possible.

I forgot the wonders sage does for tea: I'm growing it now, as well as micromeria, which is the best thing you can put into tea IMHO. Oh, and I found fabric to the living room curtains!

In other more me news, schedule for university is now completed (if TPTB, AKA the secretariats will approve it). It may kill me, but at least I'll die smarter.

I hope all of your weekends are wonderful.

Edit: to say that the first rains of the year started over the weekend. Goodbye, summer!

I wish it would rain here and that summer would end. We had a couple of 100 degree days last week and the renegade mosquitoes are killing me.

I have more grading. Kill me now.

Oy! So true! Thank you, brenda, for setting that up! Awesome!

Isn't Lulu terrific! I think I'm going to snag a PDF. I have two printed copies (and gave away more as Xmas presents) but it would be nice to have it always in electronic form for quick searching and the like.

More Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

This time, Amy Poehler is Katie Couric.

Oh, and I ordered my Buffistas Cookbook! Yay!

I have a question.

You know that habit of women-who-speaks-English to end emails/messages with x? As in, singing their names, followed by a(n?) x? So, like, what is this x? What does it want from me? I know xoxo is for hugs and kisses, but why would strangers add that? Is this a "cute" thing or something of this sort? It's all too confusing.

Hey everybody! The Buffista Cookbook really does rule. I use the cookie recipes on a regular basis.

Also, I've been looking into PhDs in the States lately, and I know there's a few people on the board who have already taken that route. I have many, many questions, but my main one is - how necessary is it to be proficient in a foreign language? Is it something they waive if your'e coming from a system where that's never been a requirement?

Tina Fey is so damn funny. I also like how they just ignore Amy Poehler's pregnant belly.

I have to figure out how to structure my day, so I don't end up watching So You Think You Can Dance on MTV all day.
