Roasted vegetables are the best, olive oil and salt. Red potatoes with Rosemary, asparagus and Brussel sports with lemon and butter, and mum has started roasting green beans, which I've never cared for. Parsnips and sweet potatoes julienned. I also adore spinach of any sort. Sugar snaps steamed al dente with butter and salt. Broccoli with lemon, cauliflower soup yum. My grandmother made creamed carrots that were divine, but I've never been able to cook it right.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Just signed the offer to be submitted and wrote a letter to the seller to try to sway her my way (suggested both by my realtor and loan officer).
I want to just sleep until Sunday night.

Yes, but that gives you 6 months to think of some REALLY good taunts.
My best friend tries this with me, but "Still younger than you!" trumps anything he attempts.

Oh, and 'tis the season for my grandfathers cabbage, carrots, and potatoes that are cooked in with the corned beef juices in the crockpot, not steamed separately like my mom does.

So, I just heard a rumor that the head of the Classics Library at the local university is planning to retire at the end of the summer. A very well-sourced rumor. I was not expecting this for a long time (she's, I think, just 65.) In one way, it's the perfect job for me. In another way, I am not at all sure I am what they would be looking for. I am also rather wary of the politics of the situation - this is the library attached to the department where I was a PhD student. While I was well-regarded when a student, I kind of know too much about everyone to be quite at ease with then as a left-my-dissertation fugitive.

Apply anyway! All they can do is say No!
Unless they have a cadre of ninjas who hunt down people who didn't finish their dissertations.

Only got to swim 1/4 of my usual because pool had to close and they weren't sure if they'd reopen for over an hour. Cranky. And I brouhgt them cookies. (In fairness, it was a sub guard who messed it up, so I'm not mad at our staff.)

ION, I haven't heard the details of whatever I've done wrong over the year, but I did get a raise! About 83 dollars a month, but yay, raise!

Yay, Connie! A raise is a good thing!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, raise, Connie!
