Look how fabulous Ofeibea Quist-Arcton is.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OMG, she is exactly as fabulous as I would have hoped.
I always love hearing her say "This is Ophelia Quist-Arcton, Dakaaaarrrrrrr."
God forbid my mother or I have reason to say Dakar anymore. Dakaaaaaar!
Sigh. Pool closed again.
Timelies all!
Ugh, my ears feel clogged. I can hear perfectly fine, there's just pressure in there.
No swim, but I did my nails and went through old bills to shred. Retiring D's final gift to me was to tell me that work has an industrial shredder anyone can use, but it's hidden away and unadvertised. Also, that if I ever need to vent, to call her. She was my rant-go-to.
I gotta write her a letter. She sent me a sweet email, but I was not going to be able to compose a full response without crying ( and told her as much.) And then my boss reminded me I had to revoke her permissions on stuff and I yelled at my screen and burst into tears.
I'll see her again, her church group meets nearby, she's got her CSA to still pick up this summer, when she's in town. Her son's getting married in 2 weeks down south and they're going to meander back.
Yay, Suzi!
Cool, Sue! I will be in Cracow in October, so maybe we can figure out a F2F.
Steph, I would be clear with your in-laws that you will have no part in manipulating you FiL to the beach, because surely they will think your silence is agreement?
I always love hearing her say "This is Ophelia Quist-Arcton, Dakaaaarrrrrrr."
I'll have to listen for her. I got to go to Dakar in December '08, and I loved it.
Sue, that is really exciting and cool!
Oh, god, the number of times I want to yell "You're not the boss of me!" in goal-setting meetings at work is very large. I have to sneak up on myself to stay on track to accomplish things I want very badly to do, because I have such a kneejerk response to To Do Lists.
So very me. Don't tell me what to want to do, dammit.
Thanks for sharing that link, I love her!
