Yep. Got a steroid shot and some o2, changed suits and put on a shirt and kept fucking going.

That sounds awesome, Amy! Particularly the chocolate chip cookie bar ending. Well, maybe not particularly, but right now, I would love that so much. I'm contemplating seeing whether I have the ingredients to make brownies.

Because books.

Sara dumped ALL the chips in, so they are Very Chocolatey.

A girl after my own heart, that one.

She is so cute. When I came home, she had just gotten out of the shower, and she was very excited to tell me she had put the water on All By Herself, and adjusted the temp, and washed her own hair, and then turned it off and got out All By Herself, too. (And she was actually clean, and shampoo free!)

I got a little melty, although I'm sure the two beers helped.

Way to go, Sara! I am impressed, because I remember my first attempt at my own shower, and it did not go well. There may have been tears. In my defense, it was a weird shower that had side spigots and the top shower head, and it was complicated, and there was water coming from every direction, and I was short, and, and... yes, it traumatized me.

Ahem, sorry. Let's get back to, yay, Sara!

Philly-centric writing group

which one, Amy? Liars club?

No, although someone mentioned that. It's just called Philly Lit Night, and like I said, there is not a lot of talk of writing involved. Some, but it's generally at the very start of the get-together, and even then it's more, "How's everyone's work coming along, any news to report," that kind of thing.

I just looked up the Liars Club. They're fairly serious about themselves, yes?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had a nice day. Met some friends for lunch and a museum. Went to my brother's place to see him and his family. Tomorrow we meet some other friends for lunch, and take a 6 pm train back home.

Trust my rage

I have had serious adobe/lion problems which has led me to research a bunch on Lion compatibility. I think the thing with Quicken was - some (or all?) older versions of Quicken would no longer work. There is a new version that does work with Lion, but it doesn't have all the features that the old one did (like something about tracking investments that I skimmed).

So, if your needs are basic, there is no Lion/Quicken problem. But if you are using an older version or care about some special, but maybe important features, beware.
