One of the guys in IS (what we call IT b/c a different department is called IT) wore khakis and a red polo shirt yesterday, someone had to tell me that he was in costume as That Guy at State Farm. Apparently he had on a name tag and phone headset to complete the look but I only saw him in passing and didn't notice)

There was a guy at the Halloween party last night dressed as a centurion -- helmet, Roman sandal-looking shoes, a red cape...and basically a g-string. That's all. He kind of kept the cape draped over him, but would dramatically fling the cape back to reveal his lack of clothes. I could not stop laughing.

I didn't tell him the g-string probably wasn't historically accurate. He was in great shape, so there's that.

Another one of our friends was dressed in regular clothes, with a white lacy shirt. And under the shirt, at boob level, she had 2 of those big round tap lights. Her boyfriend was dressed in regular clothes, but with a reindeer headband dealie that had antlers.

They were a deer caught in headlights.

Fantastic.

also fantastic

Hah. There was a guy in Roman fighting getup last night also, but it was the leather flappy skirt thing. There were also several boys wearing orange Zorro type masks and gstrings with a flashing mini pumpkin in front covering their junk. But we were at a gay bar, so this was not surprising.

say I left a turkey and bacon sandwich in a car for six-seven hours at about 40 degrees F last night. Refrigerated after I got home. Can I eat it? It smells okay and I've nuked it for a couple minutes.

I wouldn't worry about that.

Sounds fine to me, Zen. 40 degrees Fahrenheit is an appropriate food storage temperature, if I remember my warning labels correctly.

Too late! Sandwich is gone. I do love a turkey and bacon sandwich.

I am enjoying my morning with no plans. Catching up on some tv.

Last night I didn't sleep great because of my cold but had a weird nightmare that I was in some foreign airport with Lisah and Bob and I didn't have the itinerary and lost them while I was looking for my jacket (?) and then wasn't sure where they would be and which gate I needed to go to and was afraid I'd miss the flight and why didn't I have this information...so, Lisah, please don't lose me in an airport, mmkay?

Timelies all!

My electric toothbrush gave up the ghost so I went to Target to get a new one. Also some knee socks, as a few pairs of mine recently developed holes and had to be discarded. Otherwise, quiet day here.

Lisah, please don't lose me in an airport, mmkay?

If I can do 2+ weeks in the UK with my dad and not lose him I think I can keep track of one Meara! (Technically, he did get lost once but my friends were in charge of him that evening. And he eventually found his way to where we were staying.)
