May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I may have launched a kerfluffle at work. I told someone to do something and she ran with it. (Her first language is not English and I think something got lost in translation.) So she wrote to someone else saying that I refused to approve something, and "insisted" it remain the same, when I really have no power to do anything more than "strongly advise." I have to smooth this over somehow, but I am not sure how I won't step on toes.

Can I blame Tino for this?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

This weekend I'll be:

  • Shopping for a black bra, shawl, and hose to wear to a cocktail party next week
  • Helping my manager load up the van with display stuff for next week's conference
  • Eating hot-dogs, with buns, and as many strawberries as I can get my hands on
  • Biking all over town, just for the hell of it (if my bike's still there when I get home)
  • Trying to see Star Trek again.

The dress I'll be wearing to the cocktail party arrived yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That machine is quite serious. More than I could justify for my one cup. But I have started paying more attention to brewing now that I know I'm just getting the one, no matter what.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Pretty dress, Calli!

We leave at 3:00 today, and I predict there will be almost nothing to do until then.

I get to leave work at 3:00 today, then I am going to pick up Cowgurl, so the weekend will be all about the cats.

Jesse is a cat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am not a cowgirl!!!

It's so cute when she denies the obvious truth.

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

This weekend:

Tonight: Go watch a friend play at a coffeehouse
Saturday: 8:00am Yoga
Do laundry and try to figure out how to pack for a week on a motorcycle
Get freaked out by how little we can actually bring with us
Garden
Go out to dinner and to movies
Sunday: Clean house really well, so it's perfect for when Alibelle comes to dogsit.
Watch DH, who loves this stuff, actually pack.
Get freaked out by having to change planes in Utah and having to take a tiny little airplane into Missoula
Monday: Leave for trip!
