I had a Nilly/Amazing Race dream the other night, wherein I stubbled upon Nilly having lunch with other Buffistas, and mentioned I'd see them all at Shabbat services the next morning (in my dream, someone was organizing services for the occasion, have I mentioned I work part time at a synagogue?), and whomever the organizing Buffista was (definitelty a she) expressely forbid me to attend, as her mother was going to give a talk via telephone (not allowed on Shabbat) about Egypt, as she's an Egyptologist, and this Buffista was afraid MY mother would steal the show if I came, as we'd just been to Egypt. I woke up very indignant!
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Deb, do you know how many people will be at the BBQ?
Current headcount is between 25 and 30 people. I have three dining tables out there to seat (officially) about 14, masses of chairs, lots of wandering around, a chimnea and maybe today adding a firepit so we can stay outdoors once it gets dark and a bit chillier, and two barbecues: the big gas, which is for meat, and the big Weber kettle, which is for fish.
Also, an enormous kettle simmering on the side burner (my outdoor stockpot, I think) for falling-off-the-bone teriyaki chicken.
Costco today, Woot! Oh, and I think one of my desserts, to simplify things, is going to be a drunken fruit salad: summer fruits macerated in Baume de Venise or surrogate fortified dessert wine, with a shot of powdered sugar to sweeten the fruit liquor it makes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sorry for the confusion, Jon. Tried to change original post to reflect missing link. Accidentally deleted post instead.
Now? Haven't a clue where it was that I wanted ND to post pictures at.
I seriously need to lay off the vicodin.

Two separate sets of pictures. Nilly is real.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I can't believe you people didn't believe me about Nilly's realness. Hmph.

Our wings are not tired.
I always believe Allyson.
Deena and Laura, has Katie B emailed you? She wanted to pick you both up at the airport and bring you into town.
Yes, got it. Wheeee! I am so ready.
Pictures!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
So Katie is picking Laura and Deena up at the airport on Friday afternoon, while some folks are off pedi-mani-spa-going, and bringing them to Deb's? (Bounce, bounce). This means I can hang at Deb's (I don't do the pedi-thing) and meet all three of you, yes? (Bounce, bounce) I haven't really been trying to plan much beyond park-walking with JZ on Saturday morning, Nilly-Q on Saturday afternoon-evening, feeding feral cat colony with Nicole and Deb, sometime I'm memfaulting on, and wine country drive on Sunday. There wasn't any Katie and Laura and Deena in there. So, if this is right, then this makes me happy.
