I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Cashmere - if the Wizard of Oz things are still in bags you may gbe able to get $1 each or more for them on ebay - as Madame Alexander collectors usually wnat them. Also, would size 6 Batman PJs be of interest? I think mac can now wear his 7s. There are a couple of size 5 or 6 superhero t-shirts that we need to pass on, but I am not sure mac will let go quite yet.

ION, I have been told I now have an account with the gas company and that I will receive a bill for back usage, but it may only go back to 2005, not 2002. It seems their current online account system does not even go back to 2002. The process was pretty quick and amazingly no one tried to lay blame on me or make me jump through many many hoops, I did not even have to put down a deposit or show proof of good standing with another utility.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's awesome, Allyson.

That's great msbelle!

hip deep in pie

Good news, msbelle. But i often think that an easy time with a utility may be a sign of the apocalypse.

Hey. What if Palin is BRILLIANT tonight?

Do you think the four horsemen will be hotties?

What's the format again? Did the McCain campaign negotiate answers only in mime or haiku, and a swimshuit competition?

Allyson made me snorfle in front of students. This is what I get for checking the board while they're taking a test.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's probably not the free-range so much as the freshness aspect.

The fresh eggs are my favorite thing about belonging to a CSA. (I probably won't join again next year because the vegetables that the same farm sells at the local greenmarket are MUCH higher quality and I'll be able to just select what I'll actually eat, but their eggss are AWESOME.)

My mom and I walked out of the place and both were guessing that I would probably need to follow up for at least a few months, because no way it could go that smoothly. She was concerned that I did not get the man's name who I saw and I assured her that I was already planning on putting reminders in my calendar to contact them when/if I do not get a bill.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

David - your office has a wine cellar?

Answering for Hec, just in case he doesn't actually make it back online for a while--his current job is at a boutique law firm specializing in wine law. How freaking cool is that?

Yay for it not being a horrible hassle, msbelle.

Bookmarking Allyson's AFL-CIO link for later.

Off to the bathtub now, to bathe my gunkus-coated lungs and throat with gallons of steam. I'm so sick of being sick.

ION - October is breast cancer awareness month.

Ladies, if you are 40 or over and have not yet gotten a mammogram, please schedule one. If you have any history of breast cancer in your family and are 35 or older, please schedule one. Even without reason for concern a baseline mammogram between 35 and 40 is a good idea.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have to start mammograms next year.
