This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You know the only solution to this, right?

Affogato.

Next time I'm asking you first. My solution was to wait for it to get cold and then toss it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I could wear jeans to work every day, but as I've only one pair I don't. The NGO dress code can be pretty flexible. Some people come to work in lovely suits, some in the work clothes they'd wear in their home countries, and some in various interpretations of business casual. And then there's the classic public health professional "my field placement was more wide-ranging than yours" miscellany of tunic, trousers, scarves, and jewelry sourced from as many continents as one can claim to have worked in. I'm just jealous that I can only wear a necklace and shawl from Senegal with my J.Jill outfits.

Today I'm working from home in sweat pants and a Valhalla Calling t-shirt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Every time I come to work in a nice outfit, it winds up being a day where I have to crawl around repatching cables. So I've more or less given up on ever wearing a skirt again. I have 4 pairs of identical black pants from Old Navy that look fine and I don't mind getting dirty.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I finally got dressed. I chose my basic punk uniform: black cargoes, black fitted T shirt, red bandana, black hat. I either look like I'm about to plot the violent overthrow of the government or maybe do some work on the railroad.

It is also now snowling like crazy, so our snow day is finally justified here. (Ha, leaving that typo!) All the local schools closed, so it must have been worse there than here, but it was mild enough up until now I put the dog out to enjoy the sunshine. Now it's suddenly all HOW MANY FLAKES CAN I FIT IN THIS SPACE?

But I'm having Guinness and barbecue chicken pizza for lunch AND I found the last software installer I needed so it's all ok.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wear a skirt and sweater or a LS knit dress every day. So not super dressed up, but pretty safe in the business casual world.

Art Crawl!!!

Ah well. That apartment rejected me.

I generally wear dresses on the days I'm at sites. And pajamas on the days I'm home. ;)

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My work clothes today were jeans, green shirt, suspenders, red jacket. I think I have been completely assimilated into the Pacific Northwest Borg.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's a bummer, sumi. I'm sorry.

I am wearing cliche mom wear: black generic pants, the kind that could be worn to the gym but don't look out of place on the street, black cami/bra, cute tee shirt on top. If I go outside, I'll slip on my fuzzy boots.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My unemployed outfit is: brown cargo pants, black Strand Books T-shirt and black hoodie.
