I'll be getting my car's oil changed. Sadly, that's not a euphemism for anything. I might sneak a pedicure in there somewhere. This is the first weekend that hasn't been crazy busy in quite a while, so I'm hoping to enjoy the whole lack of stress thing.

Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

That reminds me that I need to change the oil in my wife's car. I don't think the weather will cooperate. I keep trying to talk my daughter into getting under the car to help me out, but I haven't been able to do it yet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tonight, TiVo backlog. Saturday: cleaning house and laundry and going to buy seeds during the day, then to friend's for a board game birthday gathering. Sunday, gardening during the day and to dinner and the movies with other friends.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday Sheryl!
quick question: when one has hired pros for a business move do the movers get tipped?
I've tipped for unexpected difficulties and an unplanned side trip to drop off a sofa that wouldn't fit, but in general I'd say you're paying professionals directly for the service they're providing—no tip required. I don't tip my mechanic or doctor.

Looks like this weekend is a lot of reading. And I'm going to do a review (heh, my first like, since grad school) of a book, the Smart Bitches Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels.
Lord, but it's funny as hell.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Huh. Our Lexis rep brought us nada. Our Westlaw rep brought us cookies, at least, so we were not sugar deprived this week.
The Westlaw business rep brought fancy chocolate, gimme cups, and itunes cards, the Westlaw rep brought cookies and Peet's cards, and the Lexis rep brought cupcakes, umbrellas, mini-flashlights, and weird little containers of M&Ms.
Throw in our Donut day, and I have been very popular this week.

I'm really craving Thai food tonight, so I think I'll place an order before I leave here at my local Thai place, I Am Siam. They've got quite good pad thai and really excellent spring rolls with plum sauce.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
