That's cool.
It's going to be 95 here, and it's been in the mid 80s as late as midnight. I'll be lucky to survive watching fireworks, without adding parading to mix.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

Wow--yay, megan!!!
I just got home from my massage and pedicure and turned on the AC, because it got hot while I was being pampered.
Massage went great, but the pedicure was missing something, so I won't be going back there for that service. All the ladies who worked there are Russian and don't really engage with their clients as a result of not being able to communicate that well. Also, they didn't have the crackle polish that I really really wanted, darnit! The weekend before my brother's wedding, I'm going to call around and find a place that has that polish in silver/pink, to go with my grey and black dress.
Before I went to the spa, I filled up my car with the Goodwill boxes, but then I got hung up doing something here and didn't have time to run over there before my appointment. I'll just leave them in the trunk until tomorrow morning and then head there after my morning swim. I still have to put the old dvd player, body pillow, and solo bar stool that I have for no particular reason into the back seat of the car, then everything will be cleared out of here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, megan! Fantastic!
The most unlikely heartthrob I'm noticing amongst the teen girls these days is Mark Gatiss. I mean, lord knows, I get the appeal on an intellectual level, but I'd never expect to see hordes of women in their late teens and early 20s swooning over a gay, 40-something, balding ginger fellow from the League.
I am dealing with a crush on Mark Gatiss even now. It was a slow burn until I saw a photo of him with a beard. Now I'm feeling very non-asexual. If there's a straight single version of Gatiss around, he needs to call me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Congratulations, Megan!
But you know, anyone who says that a woman who has an incredible performance record can't be promoted because she is "outspoken" deserves what they get.
I am so glad you are leaving.

Bwah!

To be fair, I *like* Gatiss and the man wears some weird socks which I dig. Totally.
But my mwrow is mostly reserved for his Mycroft. Super spicy, not right in the brain who toys with power like it's a game. Fictional power wielded on personal whims is interesting to me.
But Gatiss is still totally nifty.

Oh, my, yes. His initial confrontation with John in the first ep is just wonderful. "You're not haunted by the war, Dr. Watson. You miss it."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WOO HOO, megan!!
I'm going to say, I don't think John Cusak is good-looking, but Llloyd Dobler is explicitly designed to make the heart (of the teenage girl) throb. I mean, seriously.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to not spending all my free time job searching and actually interacting with the other non-interviewing humans.
Just talked to ex-boss (actual boss, who has never talked to me about now being my boss, is out today) and she seemed sincerely happy for me, which was nice considering that the brunt of my work will fall on her. She was a really bad manager, but she did really fight for me over the last 10 months or so and basically told the Powers-That-Be that this would happen sooner or later.
Now, off to Pasadena to celebrate with Pix and ND!

ION, I had a really successful trip to the $100 store (aka Target) this afternoon. Got everything on my list, and hardly anything else! And I did spend $100, but I got a shirt, two bags, a camp chair, and a bunch of drugstore stuff.

Megan, congrats! so happy for you!
Holli, I posted in flickr about which dresses I'd love to know more about it.
It's 100 degrees of misery here. The kids (yes both of them!) were in the yard playing in the sprinklers (and with hula hoops). Who knew that a girl with a trache would use her swimsuit so much?
