the whole, "What happens, happens" thing that Spike was good at.

Ahh, when Spike was good. Might be time for a rewatch.

This weekend I have to go by New Balance and buy more crap for my sister. I'm going to have a lot of room in my bags on the way back, especially since I hope the only gift I'm receiving is the ticket home.

A coworker's 9 year old, a student assistant, and a coworker not the parent of the above, seem to be playing football in my office. Give me a freaking break.

Watch them hide under claims of "national security" and "classified information."

"I cannot recall."

It's Christmas time. Why aren't more of my coworkers leaving out candy for me to take?

I think they brought it all here by mistake. OMG, sweets overload.

Here, too!

we have had cookies and chocolates galore for a week. Today I got a free lunch (prospective food providor) and just got my first gift (a vendor).

I'm the one who did the bringing here--today it's homemade peanut brittle. Monday=baked goods.

Mmm, baked goods. I have to convince my mom to make Hello Dolly's while I'm home.

Today: Printing newsletter, private lessons, planting bulbs? Saturday: Private lessons, housecleaning, packing Sunday: Taking solstice measurement, whee! Leaving for IN.

We're such big geeks we're waiting until solar noon on winter solstice so we can take a measurement of where the sun falls in our sunroom. It should perfectly fill the room on that day. If so, we're going to mark it, and hopefully that will be the first stage of a solar calendar on the floor in that room.

And then we're going to leave for our trip. But we had to wait for solstice! I hope we really have sun!

Hello Dolly's

We were just talking about these at work! You're talking about the bar cookie with layers of stuff including chocolate chips and coconut, right? I always called them congo bars, but my coworker called them Hello Dolly!
