sara, I'm so sorry. Glad for him that it was quick, and that his kids got to see him one last time, but sorry that he's gone. I loved your stories about him.
You want to meet the real me now?

As for the banker's chair hunt for Tom and Trudy, here are some options:
The best overall selection for the unpadded variety seems to come from Wayfair Supply's customizable Office Star line: [link]
You can pick with or without arms and a variety of finishes.
Target may have the best deal if you want an unpadded chair with arms and dark tobacco finish from Avington: [link]
Bonus that you could probably just walk in a local store and buy one.
Wayfair Supply also has a good price on a padded seat Office Star version in a variety of colors: [link]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh sarameg -- I am so sorry. Peace to all of you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm so sorry, sarameg. He sounded pretty awesome.

Kickstarter is back in my good graces. That's an excellent apology.
Paula Deen - ha, my confidentiality clause is already kicking in! I've never actually had to not say something because of one of those before, I don't think, certainly not so soon after signing it.
W-E-E-K-E-N-D: tomorrow I'm going to a quilt show in Winters with my mom and then we'll swing by Napa to use my wine and chocolate Groupon and probably have dinner. An excellent way to kick of my vacation! Sunday I'm donating platelets in the morning, which will be a new adventure for me, and then I think I'm going to hit Marshall's and Ross and maybe TJ Maxx for my bimonthly I-need-things-that-fit-to-wear-to-work panic shop. Also mowing the lawn, maybe laundry and dishes, and almost definitely deciding what are the most important things I need to get done on Monday and Tuesday because I'm on VACATION and those two days are devoted to attacking my To Do list. Wednesday - Friday will be spent in a cabin with my mother, sister, and niece for some female bonding and hiking with the dogs off-leash. Whee!

I so fucking miss fireflies. Warm summer evenings on the porch, watching the flickering lights under the trees.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
sarameg, I am so sorry about your uncle.
