encourage people to use as many native plants as possible when landscaping.
It's very early, and my mind immediately went to a Monty Pythonish place of "But most of our native plants are carnivorous!" "Well, we won't deal with the invasive species if we get all namby-pamby about it, will we!"
All hail Buffista~ma! I got a job interview for tomorrow! (not the perfect job, but it's a bad one. And remember, I need a job to come and visit you people, to see Halloween and the shop everything I can in Anthropologie).
Fingers are still crossed for better offers, but again, it's OK for a year.
Edit: also, apparently my secret talent is to recognize lines from Jabberwocky, never mind what language it's written in.
Yay Shir! Much interview~ma to you.
So I come home and see that Sox lost a temp crown, and after reading the advice about denture adhesive, I'm wondering if that would work for him, too, even though it's a permanent crown, not a temp one.
I would think it would help to keep the area covered until it can be reattached.
Good luck, Shir! And that's a great talent.
Lovely crisp fall morning. I think Frankie and I need to hit the dog park today.
Congrats on the interview, Shir! Interview~ma, too.
Can't books on tapes help with that?
Yes, but unabridged they take the same amount of time, and I'm not keen on abridged. Plus I like reading. I do buy audiobooks from Audible to listen to in the car from time to time. Read The Time Traveller's Wife that way.
Aw, damn. Half of Matilda's classmates have RSVP'd yes to her birthday/goodbye party, and now the 61-63 and partly cloudy we've been promised all week has turned into undeniable rain. What to do? Station one person at the original (outdoors, in the park) location and redirect people back to our apartment? Start a cleaning frenzy now in anticipation of same? Stay in grim denial and act like the rain is going to stop in time so no change of plans is necessary?
Dammnit, it's early October in San Francisco. This is supposed to be our warm glowy summertime!
Is there a shelter of some sort at the park, JZ?
Nope, not a damn thing. It's pretty much all open playgrounds and ballfields. There are a few indoor spaces, but they're small and have to be reserved ahead of time, for a cost that until Friday we didn't think we could afford.
I think it's going to have to be the cleaning frenzy.
Good luck, JZ! The kids will have fun, regardless. Games and treats and voila! Happy puppies.
