I am drinking a Pinot noir called "Clark and Telephone." Did I order a $21 glass of wine based on the name? Well, I'm not paying for it. And it is tasty. Also, on the block and a half walk back to my room, when I basically fell off my platform shoes on the cobblestones, I managed to spill only a tiny bit of it, and none on my new white jeans.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Yikes, backatcha, Kat, that's a lot of stressors too!
Mine going to work out to be good things, pretty much, I think. As long as I make sure to get all the implements back that I hand out. Actually, I'm kidding about that mostly; I think I've slimmed it down where I'll do the all the sawing, and they'll do sanding, filing, drilling, and screwing. Well, and soldering, but that's just the older kids and won't happen for a few weeks.
Blah, bad parents.
Yay good wine! I bought Guiness for the Superbowl, even though I am the only one in this house who drinks it and I'm a super lightweight. So now I have five left. And I wanted one tonight, but tomorrow's my 2nd goal weight loss day, so I resisted!

Guiness is about the most diet friendly real beer there is, fwiw.
I'm in Scottsdale by the way, so waving at you (and Erika) from much closer than usual. Work trip, so basically not leaving the property unfortunately.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
yipes Kat, that does sound hella stressful.
Sick kid update: Franny developed a mild fever at some point this afternoon, which means staying home was the right thing to do. Sigh. Now I'm worried Isaac will get it.

Came home from work and headed to the dojo for an hour. It felt good to be able to put all my concentration into something physical. Since I've been home I've been working on a puzzle. I'm afraid to crawl in bed, turn out the lights, and be alone with my brain.

Good to know! And aww, muppet waves in your general direction, brenda. Next time work brings you this way, see if you can schedule a little extra and erika and you and I could get together!

You know what else is bullshit? The first significant snow in our forecast, and it's for FRIDAY NIGHT. I don't need that shit!
Tell me about it! I was supposed to go to Amherst this weekend. Looks like I'll be spending Saturday digging out instead.

It's a Black Parade morning in the headphones. I feel certain Jilli will back me up on this.
