Don't ever call me whitey.

That's why I didn't go there.

It must be that it's Fri the 13th.

Dear woman in other department I thought wasn't going to cause me a problem today,

The page that promotes your stuff is as important as everyone else's. That being said, you do not get extra promotional space on the homepage. Particularly when that space is the main way people can get to the sign-up flow. You know, acquisition. What we were told trumps all other departments.

In short, no.

Cheers, Me

I think maybe I should just go home now.

On a lighter note-I kinda love Jack Black for those Men for Women commercials. Maybe also for Brutal Legend.

I wanted a bagel at the coffee shop yesterday but I got a croissant instead. Both options were plain.
 

Weekend: today-many errands, including yarn store,yay! Then setting up one church`s sound system and rehearsal for the other church. Sat-teaching, church, planting onions & garlic, and cleaning house. Because Sun-leaving on train trip, whoo! Convention then holidays with the families. Should be fun.

yarn store,yay!

I'm picturing Liese like this.

there was Colin!

Good times indeed. That was one of his first big exposure gigs, and it came with a personal trainer and dietary regimen and everything. Very exciting.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.

Weekend plans: not much. Chipotle is test-marketing a new vegan "chicken" burrito, and right now they only have it at one location, which happens to be in DC. So I'm probably going to Chipotle for lunch on Sunday.

Thanksgiving stuff: my mom makes tons of lists for Thanksgiving. There is also a schedule, showing who is cooking what and when. And she puts all the serving platters on the kitchen table ahead of time (we eat at the dining room table) with post-its on each one telling which dish gets served in it, so that even if she's not the one putting the dishes onto the serving platters, they'll still be on the ones she wants.

Fancy!

OMG, I realize the real reason I keep cooking -- I keep smelling some neighbor cooking, and it smells fantastic. Today I think I'm getting potatoes and bacon.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

Happy birthday, Hil!!!

I've got some candy ordered to bring down to dad's for Thanksgiving.

I was just making up my grocery list for this weekend, and I was struck by a sudden craving for cubed steak sandwich (soft butter and garlic on an Italian roll, brown up a cube steak in the frying pan--yummm!), so I'm going tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow morning to head over to the Jewel's.

(Hear that phrase with a Chicago accent; it's how we tend to say our grocery store names, with a "the" before it and a possessive "s" tacked on the end even though it doesn't belong there, also heard when we talk about the Bears stadium, which is supposed to be "Soldier Field," but we always call it "Soldiers' Field.")
