Thanks, Epic! The Eucerin stuff sounds like it might be good for non-work days. I've started breaking out (SO not like me) on neck front and back... not sure what combo of sweat/dirt/sawdust/sunscreen is causing it, but Do Not Want. Not sure if it's really breakout or a heat rash, but whatevs. Do. Not. Want.

Jilli, fret not. You're fine.

amyth, thanks for the link. Poke me in a day or two if I haven't donated, for real. Because I'm a little tipsy right now and might forget, but I definitely want to.

I volunteered at the first annual green business awards here tonight, in exchange for a free ticket. Of course, I spent more than the price of a ticket on silent auction items - I am such a sucker for a silent auction - and I would have helped had I bought a ticket, so it's all good. The farmer's tan on the back of my neck is so bad that foundation and powder barely toned it down at all. I think I'd need tattoo cover up at this point. So what did I do? Pointed it out to people as proof of what I do for a living, along with my callused and scratched up hands. The president of a local recycling company and I got our recycling rants on, which was great fun since I haven't done it in so long, and I networked with a Dookie who works on econ dev for the city.

Lovely night, my feet hurt, and it's time for bed.

Xpost with Steph - it's so nice to talk to people who share your crazy. Thank heavens for siblings.

I found where the Advil was hiding and have gotten rid of the evil headache.

"I really needed to have this conversation. You actually share my crazy."

See, this is why I feel like I couldn't just have one kid, if I were going to have kids. Because I feel like when you grow up you deserve to have a sibling who gets how crazy your childhood was. :)

Wow, Steph. Sounds like a pretty intense convo. But good.

"And you can deal with your crazy. It won't go away, but it also won't win. Most days. And really, 'most days' is a pretty good deal."

Words to live by. Seriously. Needs to be cross-stitched.

Because I feel like when you grow up you deserve to have a sibling who gets how crazy your childhood was. :)

Yeah...that would be pretty cool.

t looks at my sibling

Oh dear. What if the sibling was the root of much of the crazy?

And you can deal with your crazy. It won't go away, but it also won't win. Most days. And really, 'most days' is a pretty good deal.

I'm with Vortex, those words are inspirational Steph.

Omnis, is your profile addy good? I can send some suggestions.
