Was taken out for a lovely dinner by a good friend. She is totally coming to visit me in the next couple years and we are planning a vacation to NM together (which sara should also be a part of).
Now we're home getting unsweatified. Only 2 of the ebay buyers have paid. grrrr. I want to mail stuff out in the morning. Still those 2 buyers had bought 4 auctions, so that's something.
In OMGWTF weather news...at 4pm I drove to Denver and back with the top down on the car. Beautiful sunshine with a few white puffy clouds. Went shopping at Costco and the grocery store on the way home. Almost as soon as I closed the garage door there were two LOUD cracks of thunder, followed by heavy pounding rain, then hail, and now it is beautiful sunshine again.
Um, yes. And I know you probably still have people in Cruces, but my parents would love to meet you and put you up. Plus I can get us personal telescope tours if so inclined.
Speak to me of your soap nut experience, Jessica?
They're low-sudsing, cheap, all-natural, low-allergy, and clean like woah. You can reuse one batch for 4-5 loads. I haven't bought laundry detergent in over a year. I LOVE SOAP NUTS.
And I'm sold. Thanks!
My Penguin is here too. Even though I like a light carbonation, I think I am under fizzing. Once this heatwave breaks tonight, I will fiddle with it. But it's pretty and I think I'll love it.
Granted, she wants to stay in the area
This is my friend, who has tons of library experience, including management level, and his MLS, but was fired from his last job (did not get along with his boss). After being out of work for several months, he finally got a contract position. He could have gotten another full-time gig if he was able to move, but he's got a family with mortgage, so that was out.
Hand to God, DH just asked me, "Have you heard of a thing called Flickr?"
Owen is singing "Kidnap the Sandy Claws."
"Yes, honey it's on the interpipe. It captures your soul and then they download it to a Nigerian prince."
Another great duet, Johnny Cash and Joni Mitchell on "Long Black Veil." In case you've forgotten how angelic and unworldly the young Joni's voice was like.
Gram and Emmylou in a live version of "Love Hurts." Damn. There's just something magic hanging in the air between them. A love that never got a chance.
