Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's freezing in the office today. I have a full length leather coat that I wore in, but that's a bit much to wear around the office. But since it doesn't look like the afternoon sun will be warming my cube, I may have to use it. My poor hands.

I thought that the second season picked up around episode 4 and has the funniest ep of the series.

I concur with ita on this (both the season, and the episode, if it's the one I think it is). The season started kind of off, but picked up as it went along.

Mega dentist appointment in 35 minutes. Uhg. But, I got up and swam and then went out and bought gift cards and bras. Another cup size bites the dust. I think xmas is going to be a gift card and charity donation holiday. Boys, I am just going to buy on amazon this week...

Our office is too. Everyone's wearing coats. The story from building mgmt is that "Due to the design of the building HVAC system, it takes a bit longer to heat up after such a cold weekend." But, they are offering warm coffee tomorrow morning so we should all be fine.

Seriously?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

We have super high ceilings in our office, 12 ft or so. Somehow, even though the thermostat is at person level, it's always off several degrees. So right now it says 72 but it's more like 65.

Okay, ready to go home now. My four hrs of sleep is starting to tell. And after this I have two hrs of therapy, then a quick trip to the grocery store, then another quick stop to buy some Xmas gifts (I know exactly what I want), then to a bellydance event. Thankfully, it's all within about 6 blocks of each other, including my house, but I won't get home until about 10 pm, probably.

Unrelated question for the hivemind.

Where can I buy a decent (i.e., not super cheap, but not too expensive either) tiara for a 5-year-old girl? Online would be better than stores, but I'll brave a store if it doesn't require driving.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. Cold. Tired. Need to grade.

Also I should post in LJ about taking the kids to Disneyland soon, before I forget all the details. Short version = fun, but we aren't going back until kids are old enough that I can guarantee I get to ride on Pirates and the Haunted Mansion.

Some kind of kiddie pageant site?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The story from building mgmt is that "Due to the design of the building HVAC system, it takes a bit longer to heat up after such a cold weekend."

My old office had that -- hot on summer Mondays, cold on winter Mondays. And then varying mostly uncomfortable temperatures the other days.

OK, now I need help: I have to write something about things I was responsible for in two categories: the ones I totally did myself, and the ones my reports did. What do I call the second category?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

megan, you can usually find them for cheap-ish on eBay, and there's a jewelry store on Haight (just down the block from the Aub Zam Zam and across the street from the Booksmith) that usually has a few to choose from.

eta: Girls' tiaras on ebay right now.
