Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I gave Loki some outside time. I've created a monster. May be buying halter and leash today.

Market: cherries (2 kinds), strawberries, spinach, empanadas. Oh, and a free thyme plant from the spinach people!

Also? My tomato plant has a tomato! Yay, a $2 grape tomato! And I'll be gone next week. Hmph.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think 10-15 years ago your resume should have been one page, but now you have 10-15 more years of stuff to put on it! I bet there's a lawyer consensus, but I don't know it.

Oh, I will be having a talk with him and taking another day off.

I certainly hope so!

Sara, what are you doing on this trip?


sarameg - Jun 12, 2010 4:24:24 am PDT #6122 of 30001

Familying. Going to visit my brother and co, then ferrying eldest nephew to my parents', stay a few days there, back via an overnight at my brother's.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

10-15 years ago, I was told that lawyers resumes should be one page, but that that didn't apply to other jobs.

Also, I don't like my cats this morning.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I would say the 1-2 pages is a good rule of thumb (for non academia), but if your experience warrants going into a third, I think that's fine. Just make sure that everything pushing it out is actually relevant and necessary. (Hint: do not list European cities you have visited.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having such an attitude problem today. We`re here in Gallup to do a native youth conference, but yesterday was a total fail and we didn`t get set up or rehearse or anything. Both of us are sick; I suspect the SO has strep and there`s no immediate care center we can find. I think we`ll see some of our local buddies today so that will help, but right now I just can`t deal. They`ve declared a state of emergency here because of the number of suicides; 35 attempts in this county. 8 successful just in the little neighboring town here. I know it`s important work, this is what I do, there`s a group here from my home church in Kansas, and still. All I want to do is lie on my hotel bed (which we mistakenly booked as smoking, so that`s not all that awesome either.) and cough. C`mon, self, let`s get after it.

FTR, when you tell me "You look nice" when I am in an old tank top with bad bedhead, I know what you are really thinking. Boobies.

Liese, go feed yourself a green chile cheeseburger at Sonic. And a cherry limeade.

Maria, I've been remiss in wishing you mother well!
