No. However, with the right gear and the right coffee, you can make it at home. Sneak off to Cali Deli this week, on Travis next to HCC. Ask for a viet coffee. report back, when yer able.

We're approaching the standard 200 pages, whee man. Ontarklar also has company-man powers, but she is suffering Pregnancy Brain and already has her hands quite full handling the rampant VJ miscreants, tortfeasors, et al. I don't get to Travis or HCC ever, sigh man, but many Asian supermercados are near the casa. Shall report back, when I'm able.

Final fuzzy thought for the night, zzz man: Raking oak leaves and putting them straight into the garbage bin kills the standard garbage odors, sniff man. Putting them atop heavy garbage-bags ensures that every leaf exits the bin during emptying, smart man. The Monday winds were unkind vis-a-vis the neighbor's mammoth oak tree, fall man.

Off-logging for real soon, zzz man.

Final Final Thought.

God Bless the folk who bag ONLY their leaves and put out on trash day. My gardeners collected over 500 bags recently, in a 2 hour late night run,

and we've already run them through the chopper (makes them smaller and they decay faster)

so we're good for leaf mast for about a month.

Also, thanks be due to Kat and you, Comrade. For helping out in that abominable thread of misinformation regarding return trips and AOS.

Funny thing is when I told Comrade Awesome One I booked the ticket, her first response was "Why did you book a roundtrip?" - I promptly had to explain that it was £500 cheaper to book the return compared to the one-way. Thankfully I can cancel the return segment online with United.

That being said, we think we've also fixed a date for the wedding but it's pending confirmation of whether she got her math right and indeed has that weekend off as standard.

Hey - me too ! inbetween classes, I dug out my usb stick, found all of my collected Lexx/Kai/Bernangee music, and made me some new ring tones, and uploaded it to my phone and reconfigured it. omg. I am cool again. wink.png Sure, old, curmudgeon-y, cranky, but I gots cool ring tones ..

I'm staying on campus 8 to 5 until Mrs. Darnell hits the door in February, thinking this will keep me occupied and busy. It's sorta depressing at the house, at the moment, without her here. My gardeners are super busy, the auto-watering system that I put together is NOT leaking...

Oh no, that's sad. sad.png February is right around the corner, though.

I quite like going to school, it's just a bit frustrating that I should already have my bachelor's and be working toward something greater, but instead am starting from scratch. sdfsfhsdkjfh.

In Ecu, I fed C.'s northern family (11 adults & 1 child) a FULL restaurant lunch for $43, whee man.

Well, that's not saying too much when you can get a three course lunch for $2.00 laughing.gif It used to be $1.75, and when the corner restaurant of choice went up 25 cents, there were many complaints among the neighbors. I miss that food. Mmmm.

ooooh I liked macro so much....was doing presentations like a mad person for the class. So much fun !!

Also....those italian coffee makers...stove top ones...I love the coffee from those. Miss it oh so much.

Oh and chicken fajitas worked out well last night...I changed the recipe a bit too, to make it better (I would hope).

I can't seem to keep up with the thread lately between walking the dog and yoga and work apps and cooking. Sigh.

Got in touch with my boss back in Switz. he said I can use him as reference. My hope was he would say he needs me back but I could not bring myself to ask. lol Applied for a job at the Uni there though. And also applied at Blizzard Ent. that would be awesome one to do.

Uh forgot to run the dishwasher last night. No smoothies for me...wah ...gonna have to make one for lunch.

Dinner tonight - mac and cheese.

GC received on the 28th of February, 2014 - no interview, no additional RFE's

Divorced as of September, 2014

NOA1 for ROC 14 October, 2014

Life goes on, my ex-husband is a moron.
