Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Tonight: Medical exams with new life insurance carrier.
Saturday: Errands and story time at the library.
Sunday: Leave on a business boondoggle to Naples, FL.
Oh! I'll wear that one dress tomorrow! And I did wear a different dress on a date last night, so there. ITA.
Rep. Betty Sutton should go "back in the kitchen," says Medina GOP
You know, there is probably a better way to put this. Also, you should probably back off the statement when pressed.
Tonight is baking (some Vegan coconut bar thing I think and regular chocolate chip cookies) for our team's bakesale at the roller derby bout tomorrow. Evidently at the last one there was much demand for vegan baked goods. A vegan baker friend suggested this recipe.
I hope my grandmother doesn't come back from the grave and punish me for using margarine!
Saturday is bike riding, on the trail from BWI down to Annapolis (for ice cream!) and back. Then b'day dinner for my mom at a great restaurant in the 'hood. Then, if we are not collapsed, to the 10th anniversary show for a favorite local band.
Sunday is a dumpling brunch at a local market and yoga and loafing! And figuring out how many hotel rooms we should try to block for our wedding guests.
What's your festive dinner going to be, Jesse?
Milan 2010: Dutch designer Roel-jan Elsinga has created an angry little felt-covered chair called Fury!

If I'm going to have to sit upright in an airline seat for the entire flight, there had better be a free massage at the other end.
What's your festive dinner going to be, Jesse?
