Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

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

Today I get to leave work early to go to a wedding luncheon for a friend who is eloping today! This makes up for the fact that my MiL and her WAY annoying BFF were visiting this weekend and I was with them every minute. They had been on vacation for a week and were barely getting along with each other, so it was not a really happy environment. Plus the DH was preparing for a week-long trip, so he wasn't able to shoulder as much of the entertaining. So a weekend of annoying guests, and now a week without the DH. Eh, totally first world problems.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am envisioning the cast of Hair descending to the protest area and filling it with hippy love music.

That would be brilliant!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am increasingly scared about the 12-day trip I am planning to go on with my parents and people from their church.

Punishingly Intricate

I am increasingly scared about the 12-day trip I am planning to go on with my parents and people from their church.

Will there be opportunities for time apart? That seems key.

Because books.

Where are you going, Jesse?

Luckily, my parents and I (and my likely roommate) are in agreement on this point. Unclear whether the tour design will allow for much.

Amy, it's a trip around Turkey and Greece.

3 weeks with my parents. About a week of it in my house.

That sounds cool. I hope someday to travel to someplace further away than Canada (and that was a business trip).

Oh, fun. I'm tempted to break into song from Mamma Mia! now.

Love Mike Rowe/Dirty Jobs? Got 20 minutes? He gave a TED talk on dirty jobs last fall - it starts out about castrating sheep, but then he gets into anagnoresis. (Must have been a Classics major - who knew?) [link]
