Sounds like quitting time! (Throw the cuttings in some water, sara. Some plants root easily enough that way).

Had a successful Daffodil Day Celebration at work, weather ended up being sunny and pleasantly warm.

Ended on a bit of a downer as former volunteer/new office assistant forewarned me that the Development Director was sure to throw a fit at this Tuesdays meeting about other staff asking the office assistant to do... their job. Apparently the three volunteers and new OA brought on to help in the office are actually the Development Director's personal bitches and cannot do anything but what the DD asks of them (mainly, doing the DD's job for her while she chats with the caterer in the kitchen).

Teamwork's gotta work both ways, honey. And who was the one staff member who didn't show up to help for today's event? The DD. Who did show up and worked all day, unpaid? The office assistant. I hope to god she truly volunteered to help and wasn't pressed into it. She's not salaried like the rest of us.

I'll be remembering this next time DD asks for anything that falls outside the realm of horticulture.

me, not be

Now tagless for your comfort.

You've never seen Sushi Pack, Laga? They've very cool.

Holly Hobbie has been updated (with the great-granddaughter). Also, THE Holly Hobbie has a television series (and books) called Toot & Puddle.

What do y'all think of when you hear "brunch"?

I've got a day to put together one for 15 to 30 people (or five!) and right now all I'm hearing is quiche. A day is probably too late to get something like that catered?

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.

Omelets and mimosas are the foremost things I think of in relation to "brunch." Smoked salmon and bagels probably fit in there somewhere too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Quiche is the easiest thing to serve a group, but yeah, it could be all kinds of things.

Holy crap, I just realized Jon and Kate are younger than me.

“Not dead yet!”

Also for brunch any kind of egg-based casserole is good.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And now I want that for dinner. Right now.

Sadly, not going to happen.
