I vote for things you'd bring up later during dinner conversation.
Like when I showed you and Debet crime?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I live in a small big town. Interrupted ABC program feed for a press conference because a volunteer firefighter lost his life in a fire up the way. It's sad, but also...I love a town that cares.

Just got off conference call regarding my company being bought by another company. Eep. The call in general made me feel vaguely better, but I never ever ever trust big management to actually do things that will make our lives easier, or consider our problems (like, say, how changing health plans might affect us, mid year--we currently have a fairly high deductible plan, and if I've already spent a bunch on it, am I going to have to start OVER with the new plan??)
My dinner last night was awesome--the restaurant was out of half the stuff in one of the entrees, so they were like "We're offering...uh...some seafood, and pasta?" and I asked if they could include some sort of veggie in it, and I got a bowl of superthick spaghetti noodles (I have no idea what the name for them was), clams, mussels, shrimp, kale, and brussels sprouts in a white wine and herb sauce. Delish!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I also vote going "backstage" as awesome. Maybe it's just me, but I was pretty excited to go through the "staff only" door at Trader Joe's!
Also, I, too forgot to put out the trash and now it's not going to happen, and also I could eat spinach, feta, and olives every day of the week, although I don't.
Yikes, meara -- good luck.

It is sad but truly nice that it made the news.
Gah, that's not fun, meara.

Totally. One day I hope to see their storeroom in the back. I might have an inappropriate relationship with TJ's.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I got to go in one back room, but not THE back room.

I love you, Jesse.

Jesse made me crack up. I'd love to get to go to super secret TJ's HQ because it's in Monrovia. Along with G & N's docs.

Did you get to peek into the sign maker's room at TJ's? I think that was my favorite "behind the staff door" discovery when Kelly worked for TJ's.
Went to sleep with a bad headache, woke up with the chills. I may not have to worry about what to wear to be "cool, edgy, hip" tomorrow if I don't feel any better.

Good luck, meara.
BTW, I had a meeting today with some folks from another agency (rhymes with dational fark nervous), and they brought a lawyer who was in her mid-30s and had curly dark hair and I just kept thinking she was related to you, because she had your shape face and hair much like yours. She was very cute!
