I don't have any days off this week, so my NYE will involve eating inadvisable food and probably being late for work the next day.
Natter 62: The 62nd Natter
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.
We're gonna go get-'em (tiger)!
We're gonna sock it to 'em!
kick some butt!
Our marketing efforts will dominate your face.
No?
It's go time.
No?
You can take the Trybyczewski out of The Old Neighborhood in Cleveland, but you can't take his kielbasa.
Mmmmm...kielbasa.
This is our chance to shine! Brightly, like little twinkly lights!
Okay, maybe not the last part.
The Old Neighborhood in Cleveland, but you can't take his kielbasa
Man, flea, now I want some of the kielbasa from West Side Market.
I should go get grapes for tomorrow night. Provided we make it to midnight. No candied almonds though. Those things are blech. I do have turrones out the wazoo. Maybe we'll break out one of those as well.
No roast piggy. Bummer.
We are going to meet the challenges facing us.
We are going to exceed expectations.
We are going to emerge victorious.
When I was in high school, there were a few vocational classes, but not a full curriculum. There was a vocational school, but a lot of districts seemed to use it as a place to send the troublemakers they didn't want to deal with.
At my high school, it was pretty much expected that everyone would go to college. Every year, there were a bunch of people who had just never been interested in or good at academic stuff who went to college because it was expected, then dropped out after a year or two and went into construction or something like that. (It seems like more of the girls finished -- I can't think of very many girls in my grade who dropped out of college, but I can think of a bunch of boys who did.) The high school releases stats each year showing that something like 96% of graduates go on to a four-year college, but I've got no idea if they keep any stats about how many graduate.
Oh -- I should mention that Coldwater Creek is having a 70% off sale right now. SEVENTY PERCENT.
This shirt, which I am totally buying in red, is $23.85. That's less than a tank of gas! (Well, not anymore, for my little spud. But still.)
This sweater, which I am totally buying, also in red, is $14.85. That IS less than a tank of gas! Hm. Maybe I should buy it in black, too. t edit Damn. Not in my size in black.
Anyway. Use this code when you check out: WXH6452.
Methinks Steph reads the same blog I do! I almost went a little crazy with Talbots women's petites, but I restrained myself. I do keep meaning to buy a nice suit there.
ETA: Coldwater Creek's 1X goes to a bust 45 and the 2X starts at a Bust 47. I am a Bust 46!?!?!
