I just realized that I'm the only person still online out of my global team because of time zones, vacations, travel, and weekends.

Literally all of the escalations are coming to me.

(It's possible I'm using "literally" a lot because I've been watching Parks & Rec.)

Yay Maria!! What a huge relief!

So what is everyone doing this weekend? I am working so I need to live vicariously through you.

Yay for the good news, Maria! And yes to what shrift says too. But for tonight, enjoy your dinner ON THEM.

So what is everyone doing this weekend? I am working so I need to live vicariously through you.

Sorry; I'm working, too. Although I'd like to go see that Vin Diesel witch hunter movie. It looks like unapologetically cheesy fun.

Also working, and sleeping in.

Also working. And wrangling Halloween costumes. And dying Casper's hair purple.

Tonight, I'm treating myself to dinner out at the fine dining place down the street—they have oysters Bienville and Rockefeller this weekend!

Tomorrow I'm going to the final farmers' market in my area, working on my Halloween costume, and finally sitting down to watch the Man with the Iron Fists DVD I've had on loan from the library all week.

Sunday I'm taking care of my dad while Mom goes to her great-grand-nephew's birthday party in Tennessee.

I went into the Skechers factory store to pick up some new sneakers, as my current ones are serviceable but should probably be phased out. My god, these things are comfy--but I'm only going to pay factory store prices for them, good gosh. And they have summer type shoes, too. As I told the cashier, "I've been buying Crocs. I should have been buying Skechers." She nodded emphatically.

So what is everyone doing this weekend?

I want to go to Target to see if they have any Avengers pajama pants and also get some of the already-framed art up on my apartment walls. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll go out and get some frames for the art sitting on my living room floor. Farmer's market on Sunday. Other than that, TV and sleep.
