I don't think anyone famous went to my high school. College was UW-Madison, so I imagine a lot of famous people went there. My fave is Arnold Schwarzenegger - he and I both have business degrees from UW-Madison.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Melissa McCarthy, who plays Molly on Mike and Molly, is the only notable woman to graduate from my high school before it went co-ed. Our brother school has lots of famous athletes as alums, though, including Tom Thayer (on the '85 Super Bowl winning Chicago Bears), Mike Alstott, Terry Gannon, Mark Grant, and of course Rudy Ruettinger (from the movie Rudy). Since going co-ed, there has been a woman athlete graduating, Allie Quigley, who plays for the WNBA.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I buy quinoa in whatever box or bag my store is selling it in, not in bulk. I like to use it in couscous recipes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I checked, and wikipedia does indeed have a page for my UK high school. I'm really sad that the notable alum that I knew the best is Britain's biggest female fraudster. She was continually on my jock.

That is the best idea for a hero/villain combo ever. You'd never know!

There have been a couple of football people from my high school, but that's about it. A fair number of famous people and white-collar felons went to my university.

I treat quinoa like rice. Rinse, then cook in rice cooker. I like the red but it is a bit more assertive. The yellow seems to be milder.

Also, I love this quinoa salad, but maybe not in winter: [link]

I have promised myself I'm going to cook tonight.
I am flummoxed at the very idea. It has been weeks.
I had to tell my boss the construction is still bothering me. He looked devastated. So now I feel guilty.

Mmmmm, now i'm getting hungry. quinoa is great for cold salads, and i especially love it when beans and corn are involved. it handles southwestern flavors very nicely.

You should not feel guilty! This is not your fault! It`s been going on forever now; you deserve a safe effective workplace!
