I am out of coffee and wanted something hot to drink so I am having a cup of TJ's sipping chocolate. Man, that stuff tastes good, but it is not putting me in the mood to leave the couch next to the fire and go to work.

However, I can get a cup of coffee at work. So.

oh thanks be to the paper gods. contract-like papers I could not find last night have been found. YEEHAW!.

Due to rain we have no shipping today so I should be able to really and truly catch up on getting these papers offa my desk.

Oi, Sarameg, it was good you were there.

I am fussing instead of working because my friend is picking me up in 3 hours to drive to NYC. I could indeed get many things done in that time. But I am fussing.

I like our taglines next to each other, msbelle.

Good luck with clearing your desk!

I am mixing prints with abandon today - plaid skirt, striped shirt and a cardigan with big flowers. It's a more subtle ensemble than it sounds.

A coworker who never calls in sick has called in sick with a nasty cold and now I'm paranoid that this lingering off-ness is not just from the whiplash of the weather change and mucking about with leaves the other night.

at this point my tagline should be because beer, yum Oktoberfest and fall specials.

As a city employee, I get the day off of work today! Be jealous of me! I’m going to go and vote, just as soon as I finish another cup of tea.

Scola, you could come to the reading tonight! Or, not! Either way I wave in your direction.

I can't figure out if I am supposed to vote today, and if so, on what. I guess I will swing by City Hall after work and see what's going on.

I need to look up the items on the ballot. There are State Constitutions things that I am sure are too confusing to really understand in the voting booth.
