persuasive power of the pinup - so much gorgeous ness
my brain has been associating the fruit/veggies I cut up with the podcasts that I’m listening to at the time
Which means serving cut-up bell pepper reminds me of Easter Island and serving cut-up strawberries reminds me of Jack the Ripper
Grease singalong? Hello! Who is going with me?
sad that we didn’t get a real vacation this year …. but next week I have off work and I plan to ENJOY IT!
several weekend plans coming up though.
Hopefully San Diego to see sharks again.

If the BP Oil spill was in your home

I’ve always wondered the logistics of having an office job when you break your leg or foot. What is a reasonable amount of time to take off? How easy is it to use crutches with those heavy office doors?
One of my coworkers broke his leg over the weekend, so I guess I get to find out.
