Back from Amy's reading at the bookstore - she was fabulous and read to a packed house. HKF is completely charmed, and is treasuring her signed bookmark.
It's much quicker to drive that way at night - only 30 minutes on the drive home! When we got back, we discovered that the house behind us a couple doors down had been afire while we were gone. It was mostly over, but there was a lot of smoke.
I've discovered that the grumpier and more discouraged I feel, the more nice clothes I put on. Today was like that. Fair warning, in case you see me walking down the street in a formal gown at some point in the future.
grrr work was so stupid. well, one particular person who won't understand what I think is a pretty simple concept that has been explained to him about a million times and arghhhhhh! I shouldn't have checked my email just now. I'd let it go and now it's given me a headache again. He's making me feel like I've totally lost my ability to communicate. That is the most irritating part.
feh
I know it's not a big deal but I'm about to cry from frustration.
Sox looked fabulous, and it was so good to see a familiar face. I had fun! And wore clothes.
lisah, that's completely frustrating.
We had over 350 kids at my mom's house last night.
Holy cow.
My sister's dog is allowed one, short lick on the nose by way of greeting, but that's it. Then I go wash it off. Blech. Love the dog like no other, but blech.

I hate that feeling, and I'm sorry you're having it.
Stupid work!
I can't figure out what to wear to a meeting I have on Thursday. In Portland. I'm pretty sure the answer is not a suit, but now I can't figure out what else. I think skirt/blouse/cardigan, maybe. Portland is generally more casual, right? (PS: I would have seen about connecting with locals, but I'm there about 24 hours and will be with a colleague the whole time....)
I don't know if people have seen this, but I think it's the antidote to everything: NPH and family in Halloween costumes.
I had seen that Amy. Complete adorableness.

OMG now I'm going to cry from TOO MUCH CUTE!!!
This place is the best. For real.
Also cute, my friends dressed as Kiss:

Not cute so much as frightening, my (and my associates') Hween costumes:

I love all of those costumes! I'm a little sad I didn't really observe Halloween this year. Although I did see some fun costumes.
Awesome costumes, y'all.
I got a new cat carrier (need equal #s to cats in case of emergency.) Cheapest happened to be pink. Loki has claimed it. Even though it is more Devi-sized.
Coordinating vaccinations and checkups for 4 cats: thank god I can just email. Explaining it all on the phone might get everyone confused.
