"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Capers and feta should both help as would some lemon or some red pepper flake.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay sarameg!! It's like this all came together overnight. (hoping the good news is good enough that you can laugh at that)

I have like professional cred.

I'd love to see you have more time to write, Gud. You have much to contribute.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay sarameg!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yay Sara!

Blah. One of my work friends invited me to a crafting night tonight, and I was really looking forward to it, but I'm achy, and I've got a lot of stuff to do in the next few days, and I know that I'll run out of spoons for things that I have to do if I go out tonight. So, I had to cancel. Stupid body.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

WAHOO SARA! This is the best news of my week.

Lisa, I am in for celebratory shenanigans (if I'm invited that is), as long as they don't happen April 18-21st. I will be in Austin for work.

Brenda, bacon or pancetta would also work well in that. Hell, even prosciutto, crisped in a frying pan and then added to the pasta would also be yummy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay, sarameg! That's fantastic!

I have to be on a plane in less than 12 hours. Guess I better pack.

I have to figure out my schedule, because for other reasons, work is a cluster right now and I pretty much come home braindead. Also, holes in my walls.

Ok, got all the right numbers, including current base and company retirement contributions:14% more on base, a whopping 21% including the retirement contributions. And the insurance is going down quite a chunk. Jesus. I wouldn't be making that at current employer 5 years from now, the way things are going there.
