hip deep in pie

Thanks you guys!

I survived! They asked seven fairly complex questions and I had two hours to answer. I swear I could have taken two hours to answer any one of them, so it felt like I just scratched the surface, but I managed to answer all of them. I only had about 5 minutes to read it all over, so I hope there aren't any embarrassing typos.

The HR guy said I would know the results in a few weeks. t /breath out

Sounds intense, Sue! Good luck!!!

We had a ton of bat people last night. Also, princesses. And a bunch of well-done creepy little zombies! Loads of kids between 530 & 730 & fun times drinking beer with the neighbors.

Evidently my 5 year old niece was a zombie princess! And my 5 year old nephew was the Doctor.

I hope it went well, Sue!

I didn't get nearly as many trick-or-treaters this year as last. As a result, I have a bunch of leftover candy, and no office to bring it to. I might could bring it to the gym, I guess...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had no really cute or good costumes. ninjas, an Ariel, tourists, other non-memorable stuff. I game out handfuls of candy and still have half a bowl.

YAY SUE!!! fingers crossed for you! (even though it is not Texas)

I am going on a short roadtrip with one of my friends at the crack ass of pre-dawn tomorrow (3:30). We are a bit silly about it. It is for her oldest step-son's band competition (big deal actually and his school band is often State champions - btw - this will be mac's school). We plan to have lots of coffee and loud music and possibly some outlet shopping on the way back around noon.

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

I wish all you guys with leftover candy could come and live here - we passed several houses with signs up saying "Sorry, no more candy!!" and one where the woman had run out of candy and started handing out dimes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Gingerbread plum clafoutis. I am SO making this. Possibly today, if I can get some decent plums. (It's a gluten-free recipe, so it calls for brown rice flour, but my guess is that you could use AP flour if you don't need to be GF).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mmm, gingerbread anything! Marked for later.

Sounds pretty good, Sue. Good luck!

And the road trip sounds like a blast, msbelle. I am pro-silliness like that, for sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker was one with a sign up fairly early! She moved recently, so didn't know what to expect.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hey, wasn't this Hil's cousin? It's still going around! [link]

Yep, it was! It was published as a book, too. [link]
