Erin, the Contra Costa County Library System is hiring. They'll also have a library specialist position available soon. I don't know what sort of job your sister is looking for, exactly.

I even gave up the half n half in my coffee for soy creamer.
Me, too. I probably could eat less cheese, but I'm not sure that's a life worth living.
You have my sympathies, Burrell.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I see we draw the line at a similar point, shrift. Less red meat? Sure. Less butter? If I have to. Less cheese? waahhhh!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
How about some E and a two hour long stereo massage on the beach (of your hotel, which has a balcony, Blue Mountain coffee and a plasma screen) followed by slounging in a hot tub with access to an unlimited Kindle account, on a prototype waterproof Kindle, while a team of maids deep cleans your house?
Can I fake marry you on the internet?

Hey there, everyone! Well, those who aren't asleep yet. I just got back from a purely lovely evening at the theatre, with tommyrot, Brenda, and aurelia. Aren't y'all jealous? To top it off, after the very funny play, we all went over to Xoco and had yummy sandwiches (sparerib meat, habaneros, and onions--awesome! With enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!) and salads, followed by really rich hot chocolate.
And then, after dropping off tom and brenda, I still got home by 12:15 so I could feed my cat who had her own play happening--The Tragedy of the Empty Bowl. I had to listen to her orate about how staaaaarrrrrving she was while I tried to open the new bag of kibble.

Sounds like you had a great evening, Kathy! Yay!
P-C, excellent. I don't know if she want to move quite that far, but I have sent it to her. Thank you so much.
Cass, of course you may! Can we have a REAL honeymoon, just like I described? My husband will come, but he just wants the coffee and the plasma screen. And, of course, high-speed internet.

I had a couple of really great "OMG, my body is smaller!" moments, first when I fit in the theatre seat with no problems whatsoever. Second was at Xoco, when the hostess said that we could sit at the counter with the high seats if we wanted to, and she looked straight at me with a question in her eyes as to whether I wanted to do that. I said no problem, and there wasn't any at all--I was able to slide onto the seat with no hesitation, and sat comfortably!!!
So glad I can do normal things like that again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's wonderful, Kathy--both about the normal stuff and the play.
Many interesting things today--congratulations, Tom!--and three magnificent ones: the Sugar columm--that was truly amazing. I sniffled through quite a bit of it. The abortion provider blog post was awesome. She's an amazing woman, and I'm very grateful for her. And the Antarctica photos are incredible.
Good work, y'all!

Congrats, Kathy! And sounds like a fun evening!

Oooh. I would like this, please.
