Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And in honor of my last commute, more grumpy guidance for appropriate subway behavior from me.

Rushhour is not the time to:

Let your toddler practice walking on stairs
Move furniture via subway
Read the paper open wide
Take out your summer kids camp group
Panhandle with your musical instruments

hip deep in pie

Just in time for your holiday festivities, the featured recipe on Cook's Illustrated is blueberry pie, with the vodka crust recipe: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, those are classic, msbelle.

My commute was super empty, even compared to what it usually is (not crowded). Big ups to Boston and commuting in odd directions and not on public transportation!

Ooh, Sue, I'm supposedly getting blueberries from my CSA today... We'll see how many there are and if I just eat them as-is.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

First world problems, ahoy! So I've been doing this massive search for retro swimsuits, right? Yesterday I finally looked at Lands End (duh) and they have a fabulous suit that is NOT HALTER NECK at a great price [link] they had dark teal, but only in my size. Well, due to migraine-induced lassitude I didn't finish ordering it last night, and now the teal is all gone. They only have my size in brown or black. Woe, woe is me! ::staples hand to forehead::

Punishingly Intricate

Jesse, I've been eyeing that shabbyapple dress!

Happy last day at the office, msbelle!

My commute was mostly pain free this morning. After school is out it's generally pretty easy anyway. But then when I got on the last highway of the commute (I have 3) traffic came to a standstill. Just for a couple of minutes though. There was a multi vehicle accident that must have just happened. No emergency vehicles were there yet but all the involved were off on the sides. I felt pretty lucky not to have been there a few minutes earlier!

I think I might walk to do my errands after early dismissal from work. It's like 4 miles, but it's so gorgeous outside! And I have no plans to rush home for, and no easy way to get there (we have early dismissal, but the shuttle I take still runs on the normal schedule...)

Man, I so do not miss commuting for work.

Yeah, I really enjoy my commute. There's one block that is sometimes crowded, and once in a while there is someone sitting next to me in the van, but other than that, it is just loverly.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Bookshelf porn. Is this a buffista or lurker?

smonster, there's a Land's End near my office. Let me know if you want me to swing by and see if they have any.
