You make a good case for it, Conseula. Let me know how it goes, I might be interested.

Since I got 10000 steps (and 35(!) flights of stairs) according to my fitbit in by noon, I can just sit around for the rest of the day, right?

Uh, obviously! At one point I misspoke to someone and said I had almost reached the step limit for the day, on my fitbit, and they were like "you mean...GOAL?" and I was all "...totally what I meant..."

Ended up spending $70 for me and $100 for roomie on the sample sale--it's gotten more popular, last time I got there at 8:30AM (started at 9) and was second in line. This time I got there at 8:40 and there were 25 people ahead of me! Luckily most of them were skinny runner types, so they were not fighting me for the Large and XL sized clothes. Mostly out-of-season stuff (long sleeves and sweatshirts) but still--for a lot of it, ONE piece would be $70, and instead they were $10 each. Good deal! (http://www.oiselle.com/ for those curious--I bet Suela would like some of it!)

And now it is super hot and I am supposed to BAKE A PIE. Ew.

I have have just finished making a pie in the heat. It was no fun. It's a custard pie, so I had to only blind bake the crust, but still.

I just remembered re: the trailers Hec linked to earlier that one of the recent Home Tours I went to had a vintage trailer on display and it was super cute. I want to say it was a Winnebago from maybe the 20s or 30s?

Today is CSA day, so I'm eating a lunch made with Swiss chard, garlic scapes, and summer squash.

Unexpected downpour and of course there were leaves on the porch roof. And of course I manage to be out there clearing it in the heaviest part...

So what I'm getting from Natter is that Tom needs to steal us a bunch of Frenchies and that the universe wants sarameg to stay inside and chill on the couch.

Say, does anyone know anything about some kerfluffle at Dashcon? I keep seeing references to it on Tumblr, but they seem to be sort of in the middle of the story. The hotel tried to kick them out? People sang Les Mis at the desk staff until they could get into their rooms? What?

I'm out on the patio in front of the Readercon hotel enjoying the perfect temp and the relative quiet. The con is fun but chock full of noisy people.

Met potential new boss; am very excited. Hope he takes the job.

Turns out he'd applied back when, but the board had gone with the useless bag of wind instead.

We actually had to be forced to stop talking so he could meet the other staff. I liked the pointed questions he asked, and I liked the comments he gave. And it was just so so different from the egotistical snotty attitude of the last guy who was highly underqualified yet also approved by the board. The board wants us to develop the woods into "useful" public space, so obviously they're too stupid to live. "Those gosh-darned pine barrens keep catching fire, let's develop them!" Hello, last open space in town here, let's hold onto our native hardwood forest.

Ahem.

So, excited about new boss. I'm fairly certain he'll say yes. I just hope he isn't a luddite.
