Dress Code
I work in a place where business casual is 'fancy', so when i got a call the other day from the boss' lady friend asking me if I thought it would be inappropriate for her to come here straight from the gym wearing her 'tight' sweatpants, i thought it was a trick question.

HEY! I'm only wearing ONE article of clothing today that's been previously worn this week. relax,it's just my sweater. and i showered this morning. :)

When you're 3 you're just starting to realize that your actions really do have an affect on other people. You understand that sharing is what you're supposed to do and that taking turns can be fun if you turn it into a game. But if it's two hours past your bedtime and you've had a lot of sugar in those two hours, sharing is not an option anymore.

I'm so tired today that i'm lightheaded and i'm feeling petulant.

Adoption
I can have a baby with out anyone checking up on me to see if i'm a fit parent, but i can't get a damn dog, without a fence.
Meet Shiloh.

I hope the link works.
Wine
This weekend saw the 14th annual (or maybe it was the 12th) Boston Wine Expo. We went to the 11th or 9th a few years ago, and while it was fun, it was so overwhelming. There are over 440 vintners (sp?) to choose from and they're from all over the world. We tried to be a little bit more sophisticated this time, actually tried to focus on a specific country or region. We stayed with just reds and learned that Spain has some nice reds, while South Africa, not so much. If you go next year, remember to bring your own baguette, it's just too hard to scrounge out some food there, and Cape Cod potato chips DO NOT cleanse the palette. bleck.

And one more thing, if you're a woman and you've been drinking along with all the other thousands of women and you're sharing the same three stall bathroom with all those other thousands, please, please, please make it quick. During one of my trips, I raced the other two women who went in roughly the same time as I, (actually i was last in, but they were handicapped with large purses), and i totally beat them with plenty of time to spare. I even think i was going out the door before they even flushed. what's up with that, it's just pee.
