The status is NOT quo.

I finally went to Goodwill and dropped off the duvet and cover that have been taking up most of my trunk for two years. I am ridiculously pleased with myself.

Skippy Skimmer here. What is the good news about Allyson's Sam I missed?

Also yesterday was hellish. Worst migraine I've had, well every. Current theory: it was a mild case of food poisoning which in turn triggered a migraine.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think I'm about to get thumped for something at work.

Boss asked me to order something, pretty urgetnly. I did and since I have the company credit card number on another authorization for form for a different project, I tried to use it. It was denied, so I filled out the request sheet, got the other card, made the purchase, all was well. I let the Dude know that Boss' card was denied, in case there was something hinky going on.

He just came up and asked how I knew that. I said I tried it and it got denied. He asked how I had the number. I have it on another auth form. He nodded and walked away.

He came back through my office and I explained and said, "It occurs to me now, that that was not the procedure and I won't do that that way again. Sorry about that."

Now, I admit - not good for accounting controls. I did the Wrong thing.

Under normal circumstances with normal people, this would be the end of it. With my accounting department, Dude in particular who likes to put his nose where it doesn't belong and is, in general, a douchebag, it is going to be A Thing. Sigh.

Which of you wrong-headed people linked to the scary sextoy blog? I just read the whole thing, and I think I need brain bleach.

Daisy, I don't think I can swing that fair tomorrow, but that site is cool. I'll be sure to take before and after pictures of my projects.

Okay, hivemind... question for you:

I'm looking for glass storage bowls as someone has finally guilted me into no longer using leachy plastic in the microwave (and a good idea not to use it in the freezer where it cracks anyway).

I like the 2 cup Pyrex bowls, but do any of you have any other recs? (I used the Crate and Barrel ones for the year I lived in Philly and the lids sucked....)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kat, I have some of glass bowls and they are nice. They are a bit more expensive but I think most PC stuff has a warranty. They have a 2-cup set as as well as the 1 cup set of six.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Huh, Cashmere, that looks really similar to what my husband and I have been looking for. I love our Pyrex, but people seem to sell it in sets of assorted size, not sets of all one size.
