I have called 911 twice. Once when a customer grabbed his chest and collapsed at the service desk and once when my apartment was filled with smoke and I could hear the other apartments' smoke alarms going off.

I am attempting to drink black coffee for the first time since my early twenties. I always have half and half, but I am out, the store that will definately have half and half is a mile and a half away, and it is raining. I could go buy milk at the gas station, but we'll see how this goes.

Cereal:

So, I am trying to be all proactive and stuff, and go through the theatre calendar, and plan what to teach the kids so they can be of most use, which I have never done before. I always just flew by the seat of my pants.

Holy Shit- the calendar is impossible. I mean, I think it is actually impossible to teach them anything AND get stuff done. There is one week between the design presentation and first fittings. That is one week to pull, pattern, sew mock-ups etc and teach them how to help in a fitting. Dear Lord. And we are getting the 2nd show (with a designer who likes to makes TONS of stuff) design during tech for the first show, and then fittings are the week after strike. Now I wish I hadn't tried to be organized, because now I am just overwhelmed.

I'm looking at places to stay in Santa Barbara. I think this hotel needs to hire a new web designer: [link]

Tom, it could also be because they haven't paid the web designer, but also didn't change their passwords.

Or else, they just don't care, which pretty much tells you all you need to know about the place.

Is there some sort of pill identification website? I just found a little yellow pill with a black L on it on my floor, which is a little freaky since no one in this house takes medication regularly (eta: which turns out to be aspirin - ooo, scary!)

That's pretty funny, Tom. Although I wouldn't draw a straight line between someone's ability to have a good website and their ability to have a good hotel. BTW, I stayed here and liked it.

Heh, Stephanie. It still seems weird to have a pill you don't recognize in your home....

There's a whole section called Pill Identifier at Drugs.com. Very handy when Hubby drops his drug box and we're playing Heart, Pain, or Other roulette.

AARP also has a searchable database of pills based on imprint, color and shape.

Was someone taking aspirin? That is weird.

I just cut and dyed my hair. And my hair is now the color of my hair. It is a little more even, because I had blonde streaks around my ears cause by my addiction to putting peroxide in my ears. But I thought it would make it more medium over- all (since it was light brown) but instead I have my normal dark brown hair.

I think it is a good first step, though, as I want to start dying more often and more colors, but I don't want to talk about it at work with everyone and have the same inane conversation that starts with "You dyed your hair!" Maybe I can work my way to black for the winter.

I need to color my hair something fierce. My stylist did a great job with the last color but it's grown out and faded and the gray is really starting to show. I'll go back to purple once our roller derby season starts in the spring.
