sitting by my kitchen window on a dreary rainy march day with a hot homemade cinnamon mocha latte is a perfect setting for dreaming about my garden.

...oh shit
now i’m crying
"It appears I get to keep my job after Jan. 31 after all - until the end of the year, or maybe September ‘09, or whenever the site closes, whichever comes first."
.
In any case, with 8 working days to go, I finally got an offer, and I accepted it.

hey that is awesome! i am glad for you! (and obie, and puty, and spotty, and mr. boots!)
The USA can use some heroes right now. Let’s hope Obama can crash-land this thing with the finesse of Sully!
where’s my hero?
mmm. that mimosa looks good. i didn’t manage to sleep until 5:30 am, so i set my alarm to get up at 8:30 to start watching the inauguration - on my laptop in bed. i only just now got my coffee and pancakes together.
its been exciting so far. (i really liked the part when bush high-tailed it to texas!)
i’ve never paid attention to inaugurations - when was the last time one was so well well attended - ever?
The inauguration excitement has done little to dispel from my mind my amazement over last week’s beautifully executed emergency water landing of flight 1549. Supposedly Obama arranged for kick-ass pilot “Sully” Sullenberger and his wife to attend the inauguration in person. I wonder if they are there, and if he will be trotted out during the parade or the ball. i really want to get a glimpse of the man who made it so i can study the seat-back security card intently during takeoff without feeling like a total dork.
no more bush!!!!
aaaahhhh

This is a national news story today, so you’ve probably all seen it. But I am a sucker for these cross-species adoptive animal family stories!
8 Minutes Flat
Last night I wrote: “I am going to go to bed and veg out with a marathon BBC drama viewing session, red wine, dark (90%) chocolate, and various other vices that I can’t live without.” And that is exactly what I did, until 2:30 or so in the AM. My alarm was set for 5:30. I checked it before I went to sleep. But somehow or another, it didn’t wake me up. I must have shut it off in my sleep without waking. I remember groggily looking at the clock, seeing it was 5:10 (or so I thought) and thinking I had 20 more minutes to sleep. Then I opened my eyes again, saw 5:21, and shut them again. Then my brain registered the reality of what I had seen, rather than what I had wanted to see. I jumped out of bed in a panic. It was 6:21! My bus comes at 6:29! The bus stop is three blocks away. Somehow, unbelievably, I made it! And I managed to pee and brush my teeth (simultaneously), and put on clean underwear. Of course I was good for nothing at work today. But that’s okay, ‘cause I am about to quit my job. Any day now.
