It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then I tried to register a new bank account for funding my PayPal account, but the two small confirmation deposits still haven't shown up at the bank account.

When I did that, the deposits didn't show up in my bank account until the next business day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and Liese, I love that the Biscuit has a Facebook page!

Oh, I need to friend Seabiscuit!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Usually mine showed up pretty quick.

Which reminds me, I need to get over there and grab that data for my year end reports.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. You all should. He's awesome.

And it amuses me, and slightly worries me, that he has facebook friends that I don't know....how did he meet them?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hmmmm. I guess I'm just too impatient then. I'm glad iTunes let the downloads proceed right away, though.

He's a dawg. He sniffed them out.

I've noticed a couple days lag in my bank account posting paid bills even though the vendors I paid the bills to recorded the transaction as complete. Freaks my shit out, especially this time of year when I'm juggling bills and balance. As long as my paycheck posts as it should before my mortgage gets drawn.

Burrell, thanks for trying! I've had 7 donors so far! And I have $375 left to go. (Granted 2 of the donors were me since I commandeered K's phone and got a code from her too).

I also still have a cold. Colds suck. Colds are not my favorite things.

Oh! You guys, I have a new pool boyfriend! As opposed to my gay pool boyfriends who chat me up and 50% kick my ass. OK, so that just means he's stopped to talk to me post drill the 4 or 5 times we've crossed lanes since he started showing up (a NY resolution sort, I am guessing.) Asking about technique (um, don't drown?) and distance and expressing awe at my distance and pace (really, middling. Speed anyway. Distance is kinda crazycakes even if you ask me.) Anyway, it's kinda funny. He reminds me of my vet.

Is he young and/or cute? Or is it just a pool thing?

I did not have fruit. I had scallops cooked up with some olive oil and herbs and garlic and spinach.

After nasty numbers on the scale at the doc's office on Friday, I've gone back to tracking what i eat...today I have ONE CALORIE LEFT! ...I think it's probably wrong, but still amuses me.
