Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm glad you are watching your numbers, Zen. I hope it doesn't add to your stress.

Good job, Liese! Like the brows, love the cut.

It's self-eval time, apparently. Yay. It'll be fine, it always is, but I hate doing them.

Argh. When I send an email saying" Do we have enough widgets for this purpose?" I expect the answer to include "yes we do" or "no we don't" SOMEWHERE even if it goes off on a tangent of whether we have already charged for the widgets and reassurances that non-widget issues have been dealt with. That's why I'm asking about the widgets! Answer me!

Widgets, widgets, widgets. I remember taking an economics class and one person just not being able to comprehend that a widget was a representative term, not an actual thing. Yes, for that whole class, that is what I remember.

CJ is back amoung the living. Pedialite and saltines!! His car - not so much so. It looks to need a new motor. It is an old car to begin with, so looks like he will need a new (to him) car. Not sure with what money, but I'm gonna be Scarlett O'Hara and not worry about it today.

Oh, I meant to say before, poor CJ. Car stress sucks and those strong physical reactions to stress are no picnic.

And that is close enough to a full days' work for today. More orange juice and maybe a nap for me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

  • Love* those brows for you, Liese! I like the hair on you, too. I'm way too twitchy to deal with my own hair that asymmetrical, but I admire it on other people.

Steph, that is officially Too Many Funerals in too short a time.

And poor CJ. I hope both he and the situation improve.

'Suela, cups are the most frequently broken pieces in a china set. Lots of people buy double the number of cups for that reason--like buying double teaspoons since those always seem to go missing more than forks or knives. Well, the people who buy china and use it often, that is. I'm kind of fond of putting together compatible pieces found at thrift stores and yard sales. To me it's more fun than buying sets of things. My grandmother and the ladies auxiliary would squint at my table, I'm sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those are killer brows, Liese! And go you, submitting all early!

Here's hoping Nashville gives you the green light, Dana.

Nashville~ma, Dana.

Zen, I hope you get where you're comfortable with your blood sugar numbers soon.

Steph, I hope that's the last of family funerals for you for years. Goodness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Your brows and hair look lovely, Liese!

Thanks, all. I'm reluctantly acting like a grown-up about it.
