I saw on FB that a friend from Tabletalk (not a buffistas) who I hadn't seen since 2002 (she lives in Toronto) was in the town I had just flown to. We ended up having dinner! So weird to think she was my age when we "met", and I was 22. Now I both get why they found me entertaining and also I feel very old. Plus, dinner was deliciousness. And happy hour! Gnocchi with snap peas and bacon, Brussels sprouts and kale, and tagliatelle with shrimp. Plus dessert and a couple drinks...so full.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Mmm, that sounds delicious and fun!
Remind me that I need to try making enoki gnocchi at some point. Just to be able to say it.

Wheeee! Up at 4:45 for tornado sirens. I'm a morning person, but that's pushing it. The worst of it went east of me. I hope the Durham-istas are ok.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's amazing, meara -- technology!
I am so tired of tights and boots and warm coats, but it won't get out of the 40s here until Friday, I think.

It'll be in the 90s here for the next couple of days.

Which reminds me, I scheduled a mammogram for today after work, and the instruction say not to wear deodorant or perfume. Should I really go all day with no deodorant? I guess I'll be inside an air-conditioned office, not out in the heat, but still.
And that reminds me: after I made the appointment the system tells me to be there 10 minutes before my appointment time. I feel pretty strongly that my appointment time should be the time I need to be there and they should make the scheduling work for that. Doesn't seem that hard. I'm glad I didn't cut it close and pick the time that I could barely get to, because I wouldn't have been able to make 10 minutes early, that's for sure.

Well, it wasn't a sustained flurry, so we're at least dry.
Fitbit owners, I am interested. Any preference of one style over the other?

-t, when I went they gave me a wet wipe thing to take off my deodorant. Then they apparently had some I could put back on, but I forgot. And it was fine... Also, I think they always say get there early and it's generally crap.
