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

I just found out that the main guy I am here in the office with most days is on vacation all next week. good googaly moogaly. I hope this does not mean that the big boss will be in every day, or that they think I know half of what that guy does, because he is like the anti-trainer. He would rather just do rather than teach.

ION - I would really like a vacation. I know I went in March and wah wah wah, but man like 3 days alone would be pretty much awesome. I wonder if anyone wants mac for Labor Day weekend?

I'll baby sit!!!

Hee, thanks, Suzi! Rose will be staying home with M this time, sadly. Also, I think if she came with me, you'd have to thumb-wrestle half a dozen grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins for the privilege. (We'll be out in Crested Butte the whole time, so unfortunately no chance to say hi to localistas, but hopefully next time!)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Jesse, how did you pickle your jalapeño peppers. I have three and a little tiny jar

Kate, if you have a neighborhood listserv of some sort, post there to see if a nanny share situation has a spot because of vacation, or some such. My local parents' list is filled with that type of thing this year because daycares close for a couple of days and people are out on vacation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sliced them up and boiled I think 1 C vinegar, 1 C water, 1 T salt. I put some garlic in the jar, too, because why not. Mine are a little overly hot, so next time I might take out some of the seeds first.

Our wings are not tired.

In the airport. We have an hour-and-a-half until boarding.

Bon voyage. Enjoy!

Did you boil them in the mixture, or just poor the boiling mixture over?

Poured the boiling mixture over. They are crisp!
