Elphaba is also a veteran.

Don't know about Boobs or anyone else.

I'm just a veteran of the arts. .

Seems a lot of weddings are happening tomorrow 11-12-13

Tink - two tailgate parties and two games and much time examining high school state results and brackets! Much fun. Bears NOT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

I spoke with my 86 year old WWII vet father today. Very depressing, voice so week and memory issues. He did reminisce about how much he loved visiting Chicago. (sighs)

'Morning!

I keep scanning the skies for flurries. None yet, but the skies are dark and the temperature is dropping and the wind is picking up.

We welcome our accreditation visitors this afternoon at a reception we have to dress for the occasion. I'm in a dress and jacket. Oh, and "cocktail reception"? No cocktails. I hate these things anyway, but no wine? No me. Or, at least, no happy me.

Morning peeps! I got into a wet City with strong cold winds. By the time I got to my ofice the rain turned to snow flurries. Now it's just dark out there. Happy 11-12-13

I had dinner with two friends last night. We were celebrating one of the ladies' birthday - and she completely forgot about the dinner. I finally got hold of her at her home and, luckily, she hadn't eaten yet. She didn't get to the restaurant until after 8L:30pm so it was a late night for all. I'm beginning to feel it now, so maybe it's just as well that there's no alcohol this afternoon. Now if I could just find a quiet place to take a nap.

We have so many old lawyers here that we have been planning snack times and nap times.

We had some snow yesterday - cold today! 30's. Mrs. Brd was up at 4:30, but I was up first with my old friend - INSOMNIA!

Happy 11/12/13!

OMG. I really cannot take my ex-cellmate. I really wish you guys you could hear her day in and day out. I'm telling you I am definitely sunshine, lollipops and rainbows compared to her. She's frustrated about this place, and just doesn't give a crap anymore. I told her to leave me alone and stop IM'ing me and talking to me. She says this, "Nothing about this place is good for my health anymore. NOTHING."

THEN FREAKING LEAVE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE ALREADY!!!


*takes deep breaths*

Girly - it is terrifying to think of what it must be like if YOU are the sunshiny one.
I've noticed that I've been your ex-cellmate here lately (though hopefully not as bad) so have been trying to take a more proactive approach to internalize it more.

Thanksgiving for me is just mom & I at the diner. My dad's sister has been in a bit of a funk since my grandpa died earlier this year so I don't think she will be hosting for dessert this year. I've emailed/called a few local churches and volunteer organizations to see if they have anything going on that day - someone should benefit from my lack of holiday obligation - but so far nothing. I know of opportunities in seedier areas and longer distance, but trying to find local if I can. We shall see. Never thought it'd be so hard to volunteer.

It's just the three of us for Thanksgiving this year and that's just the way I like it. Our anniversary is also that week.

We can seat her next to my 87 year-old mom. She's a hoot!

That's my next week off. Can't wait. I have no idea what my Thanksgiving plans are yet. The past 3 years my cousin's daughter wanted to have it, except last year her mother took it on, cause her son's family was going to be in from CA. So I don't know if it's reverting back to Siobhan or what.
