Congrats on sproggen!!!

Roasted parsnips are yum. I blanch them in boiling milk (soy milk works just fine) then drizzle in olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, roast, and dress with fresh honey. Super delish.

Vodka is fantastic for cleaning/deodorizing anything that is not washable. Wardrobe trick is 1 pt water to 1 pt cheap vodka (don't waste the good stuff) : spray on the INSIDE of the garment to not quite saturation, allow to dry completely before wearing. Repeat if necessary. Also very useful on home furnishings, esp if you have animals. (this is why every theatre wardrobe department has gallons of cheap vodka sitting around.)

travel ~ma to the PixDesigns, here's hoping your vacation travel is super unstressful, quick, and gets you to seattle ahead of schedule.

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, my turn for some travel ~ma and some unspecified good thoughts ~ma.

ND, glad you made it back.

Shir, good thoughts on your letter. I'm sure it's every bit as fabulous as you are.

Academia~ma to Shir. ND, I'm glad you made it home for a while. Barb, I'm home for two weekends in a row (something that hasn't happened for a while) and I'll gladly forward you all my travel~ma.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So I seem to have caught some of ND's travel jinx, as I am NOT, in fact, presently sitting on a 'plane in mid air.

I am still hoping to make it to Seattle for the weekend, but all is not going according to plan.

Ooops. OK. I'll split my travel~ma between Barb and Fay. I hope you can make it to the F2F.

Travel -ma for Barb and Fay!

Will someone please inform my stomach that I don't have time for it to freak out today? I have a ton of errands and packing to do, dinner with TCG's family tonight, and then we're flying out tomorrow.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Safe and not-too-horrible-snafus-in-the-travel~ma to all who are F2F-bound, or otherwise up in the air.

Oh god, now that I know what it's like, I'm really sad we can't be there.
