meara, are you freaking serious?!!!? Someone was paying for my vaca, I'd get there at three a.m., buy coffee, shlep their luggage and be their freaking PA all weekend.

Jesus.

Thanks, Liese!! And I will have enough of the gallon left to paint some other stuff, like some unpainted wooden chairs we haul outside when we have a party. WOOT.

meara, that is ridonkulous.

Gorgeous color, Erin! Also, ::smooch::.

sj, not to ovewhelm you with recs, but milk paint may be worth checking out. I helped a friend paint his living room with that stuff, and could stick my face right in the can and inhale. I do wonder if it bothers those allergic to milk products...

Also, I have finished the rec, talked to my committee chair for one NP, started a task for same NP. My tea has gone cold, and so have my feet! Time for more tea and add some legwarmers or turn on the heat.

When I have a few extra bucks, I'm going to head to our local paint recycling place and get some paint for random bits of furniture that I have.

Luckily she found a friend who is willing to drive her (I also pointed out that while she could take the very first train of the morning and be there pretty much on time, I didn't know where she was COMING from, and so didn't know how she would be getting to that train! She has a job on a farm a few hours out of town and has many friends here in town to stay with (she often house or pet-sits for some extra cash and a weekend place to stay in the city).

I have had an irritatingly productive day. Irritating in that I was futzing around with expensify for fun, and discovered that I could automate a process that's been really a pain for me in the past. Gnarf. But I am going to focus on the positive -- I may never have to do that process that way again in the future!

Of course, now I want everything to magically automate for me. Books! I have organized you on my shelf one way in the past! Please read my saved preferences in my mind an reorganize yourselves automatically on the shelves now! Laundry! I have hung you up by color and size in the past! Please remember my preferences and hang yourselves up now!

My day has been crazy-good productive. That makes me nervous.

And I am going to have drinks and some really tasty, bad for me bar food in 20 minutes. NOM.

sj,

that is wonderful. it's like these sellers and your previous ones exist in opposite lands.

It is. And the weird thing? They're both cops, which just seemed like a strange coincidence to me.

I feel like there's a "good cop, bad cop" joke in there somewhere.

It's cold and gray and I hatess it. Blecch.

Oh meara, that reminds me of SO many discussions you and I have had.... I hope she turns out to be so much fun to vacation with that this will just be a little bump.

SO happy for you, sj!!
