The good news on the austerity front is that with the CSA, I have basically pre-paid for the bulk of my food all summer.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I need a new swimsuit. I hope those are on sale at Lands End.
Tons of 'em.
Also, the smallest sizes are mostly sold out, but if you wear a L or XL this dress is AWESOME: [link] I wear a 6-8 and it's very flattering, washes well, so comfy. I am wearing mine twice a week.
Ugh Kat, sorry to hear about the insomnia. I had minor insomnia issues but they were soothed by the fact that I had snuggly people in the bed with me giving me hugs. So not much sleep this am but at least no raging anxiety.
On the NO growth front, I hear from some of my industry friends that NO is the new Vancouver. Lots of shoots there.
There's a Lands End dress I have drooled over since the first summer catalog came out, but even on sale it's $89.99 and I can't justify it. But I really, really love it.
I'm really angry at linen right now and don't plan on buying any more! I ironed my skirt this morning, and of course it looks like total shit now -- fully creased over my lap. Bah, linen! I love it so much in theory.
I just checked my shopping cart at LE. Three of the four items I put in there two days ago were discounted by 40%. Two tankinis but I'll probably just keep one.
Unfortunately, most of the girls' swimsuits I like sell out before they get to sale time. I like to buy next year's sizes, but lately the styles left are not ones Casper would go for (she is not a ruffles kinda girl.)
I am actually dying for fall clothes to start coming out. I am ready for summer to be over (we've been out of school 4 weeks already.)
Franny inherits swimsuits from her cousin so I don't buy them for her often. I bought her one last year and it still fits this summer, so that's her main swimsuit. Isaac also seems to still fit the ones he got last year. I am cheap and lazy, so if the suit still fits they wear it.
Had a good talk with my manager this morning. I'm still kinda frustrated, but he confirmed that I did what I could and need to let it go for now. So I'm trying to do that.
I haven't check on the fires yet this morning. Obama is supposed to be visiting the Waldo County Fire today (the one near Colorado Springs). Yesterday they confirmed that about 350 homes had been destroyed in that fire.
