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.
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.
Oh, man, brenda - really? Would you have time today? Size 12, teal, regular torso. I would pay for overnight shipping.
Sure, I can walk over that way at lunch.
Being adopted throws my personal ancestry into question and I've never been interested enough to look for answers, but I know all my dad's family emigrated from England, Ireland, and Scotland in the the 19th century, and I know one of my Mom's great grandfathers came over from England in 1858.
I know the first of my grandfather's family landed in St. Pierre in 1799, but I am not sure where in France they came from. We all thought St. Malo, but someone told my aunt they may come from the Pyrenees.
The rest of my family are a mix of Irish, French and maybe native intermarrying that happened in Newfoundland. A lot of them were fishing folk and went where the fish were, so tracking them down in records can be a bit of a nightmare.
