I just had a slightly confusing conversation with a coworker because I think she doesn't know what "knock-off" means, but now I'm questioning myself -- the cheap one is the knock-off, right??

In related news, I'm wearing a dress I don't really like, and two people have complimented me on it already!

Yep, cheap knock-off.

To be fair, that dress does look nice on you.

Thank you!

Weird how sometimes the colors and styles we like best are not always what look best on us.

Thank Christ, we have the luggage.

Woo! Happy birthday!

Work is asking me to do altogether too much work today

The end

Dana - congratulations on the luggage (not, luckily, The Luggage)l. I once knew someone who flew to Columbus, Ohio ... her luggage went to Rome (there's something wrong with that). And once, when I flew home from a work trip, there never was any announcement of where the luggage was - all of us on the flight waited and waited and every flight after ours had their luggage appear. I finally spotted my spectacularly ugly luggage at the far end of the area and scooped it up.

Guess who has pneumonia and a bruised rib from coughing so much? Guess who is completely sick of all of these health issues?

Oh sj! No wonder you have been so tired.
