Also, I am having pie for breakfast. Pumpkin pie, with pecan-gingersnap crust. Mmmm. The restaurant we are eating at on thanksgiving is not having pumpkin pie. Wtf? So I had to make some.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I drove this morning, and construction just hated me -- I lost a fare on Beacon Hill (they cancelled before I arrived) because I had to detour TWICE and there are only one way streets going in the wrong direction.
I only got like $30 in fares in three hours of driving, seriously. My resolution is to try to stay out of Boston, at least trying to get back over the river rather than get drawn further into Downtown. Also, getting started earlier, before rush hour hits prime time.

Guy with hyuuge shoulders in the middle seat.
On one of my recent flights I was in the window seat. Another plus sized gal was in the aisle seat. I was so relieved that the middle got taken by a tiny gal.
Work is already slow as heck today. I have a bunch of things that I need to get done but the majority are awaiting input from others who SAID they would be working today.

I adulted the hell out of this morning. I had a doctor appointment, but when I got there it was canceled. They tried to call but only had my old number. Which was fine, because I got my flu shot and put on my big girl panties and made an appointment to talk about rescheduling the cataract surgery. I think I can really start to move on once that is behind me.

Thanks Connie--you reminded me I need to make an eye appointment.
It's terribly petty, but in the past I had such bad vision I could never try colors contacts. Now that I had eye surgery, I have like, 20/30 vision, so mostly don't wear glasses, though I have a cheapo pair. But then I realized I could finally try colored contacts if I got a prescription. Exciting. ;)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My students get the Wednesday before TDay, I am assuming we will have a full class today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why is it only 11:53? Did I get sucked into an alternate reality for a few hours while only minutes passed by here?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, my Latin America division salesperson is out on maternity leave, and the person who was trained to take over while she is out got transferred to Accounting in the recent layoff/re-org, so some guy I've never heard of is now the point person on these accounts and he knows NOTHING. Argh. Bad enough that now no one in sales speaks Spanish, they don't even know our internal processes.
