I have my grandmother`s tea service, but I rather suspect it is not like your grandmothers` tea services.
What is yours like? Mine is silver but so tarnished my mother thinks it's ruined.
Whooo, smonster. That sounds like a step in the right direction.
beth, nose~ma to you.
Why did I come to work? I yes, to climb to the rafters to run a cable. That I really don't want to do, because the stairs are double tall, and 3/4 the tread thickness, and poured concrete, and kill my thighs. I think I will wait for the TA's to return to run that one. Since the Dean said we could take today as a paid day off, and I met with the one student I wanted to. I think I'm leaving. No reason for me to be a workaholic ALL the time, right? Maybe I can get home before the next onslaught of rain.
omnis, you've been busting your tail since you got this job. Take the day.
I just managed to drop a rotary cutter on my index finger and cut it. I feel like I should make a blood sacrifice of some kind, since it's there.
It worked! smonster's blood brought the sun back to SoCal!
Hah! This is awesome. I cut my finger (with scissors, yeah, I dunno) while making my garlands, so there was blood on the evergreen. There`s got to be some sort of pagan significance to that, right? And anyway, I got clear skies for the eclipse, so maybe blood sacrifice is effective!
My grandmother`s tea service is china. Black, with gold cranes on it. It`s gorgeous, actually. I have two of her sets, the "good" set and the "everyday" set which is white with stylized Japanese blue flowers on it. I display and use both. Love them. Although I am the only one in this house who drinks green tea, so I always accidentally let it get bitter sitting in the pot.
I can see the sun!
We had a big freakin' rainbow in Inglewood just a while ago, along with pouring rain. It has stopped raining for now, but I see black clouds everywhere I can see. Expect torrential rain as I attempt the grocery store in an hour or so (depending on 405 south traffic)
My mom went to the local grocery store earlier today, but the freezer where they keep the soy ice cream was broken. I probably shouldn't drive while on Vicodin. So my dad just went to Whole Foods to get me ice cream.
You're welcome, SoCal!! Glad I could help. David, you want I should cut the other index finger?
I'm glad your dad is bringing ice cream, Hil.
