These RFPs are eating away my ability to do anything except price and write RFP-speak. Thanks, all.
So, anyone want to get dinner in Columbus next Tuesday?
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best to your cousin, Matt.
I am filled with indecision about a TON of travel -- I kind of want to go everywhere, but part of that is just wanting to mix things up, which is not a great reason. So I guess not NYC for the 14, and not Sierra Leone in November. But I think yes Bay Area the week of the 19th, and maybe I'll take a little extra time so I can see people!

Ugh. Had a hair appointment at 2. Scrambled to get here in time. It's now 2:27 and the woman still isn't done with the person before me. Not amused. Couldn't they have called or something and said they were running behind?

We just hit the 20% funded mark on the Kickstarter. Conventional wisdom is that if you hit 10% on the first day, you'll successfully fund, whoo!
t Kickstarter likes carrots?

Yay, Jilli!
I have a wedding to go to tomorrow morning, and I just don't feeeel like it. I want to sleep in and laze around! I like the couple, and I'm sure it will be fun, but still.

I've pretty much decided I'm going to change my February trip from Venice Beach for two nights to three nights in Vegas again. As much as I want to see the ocean, contemplating that particular trip has been causing anxiety instead of glee. Yes, Vegas is a tourist trap, but that means there are safety nets for baffled tourists. They make it easy for tourists to have a troublefree visit. I don't think I'm ready for a solo trip with so many points of potential fubar as the trip to LA would have--an outgoing trip with a potentially tight plane transfer, making way through a massive airport I've never been in, making my way across a massive city I was last in nearly 20 years ago, then only have one day before doing it all in reverse. In Vegas, I'm a coddled commodity; in LA, I'm just another person, an obvious out-of-towner. Plus, for the same amount of money, I get another day to sit by a pool and read. I've been longing for poolside sitting.
Maybe in another year I'll be able to dump the safety net.
