  1. Hey hey! Found my dress for Son's graduation (Mother's Day weekend!).
    It's usually 80-95F that weekend.

  2. Really cute dress! I'd hate to be going south that weekend. Though actually did, when Edwin did The Matchmaker in Greensboro, lol! But nothing *outside* ~~ Scotty's ceremony was at the football stadium, but that was northern California (Davis).

  3. Maybe it's the rain, but Mr. Dog has been relatively sane this morning. Went out for a while, been in an napping for a while. Now making restless sounds at the front door. But not yesterday's hysterical pacing. . . .

    Water's just barely over the bridge, and just sheeting. All culverts completely open. Just drizzle just now. Spring.

  4. I have a gorgeous navy jacket I can wear with it for the air conditioned spaces.
    Bought it years ago before it got so pricey.

    I'm not thrilled about hot, humid weather. It nearly always sprinkles rain that weekend, too.
    So we'll have an umbrella along. ;-)

  5. I'm guessing the kids aren't back yet. ;-)

  6. Neighbourhood Association meeting at our house today.
    It's always a trip. Talk about politics!
    Send good vibes and I'll come debrief later. ;-)

  7. BTW, National Nurse Teri and contingent head to DC on Tuesday to visit our legislators. I sure hope that goes well...!!! I often feel like this is our DEAN Legislation, since it was born on the original blog. And Howard Dean is still very much in support of it.

  8. Political mercies, lol!

  9. Prolly right. I have *such* mixed feelings about their visit. I like them, really do. But what their presence does to Beau/my sanity is beyond unpleasant. Ah. Well.

  10. That IS beautiful!! And you're right: goes with the dress absolutely perfectly!

    But Lord, you're right about the "spendy"!! I should talk, lol! I have a couple of jjill sweaters I spent almost $50 on. Temporary insanity, I'm pleading.

    On the plus side, I think I *may* have rescued a sweater I love, but which has been misery to try to wear: it's a morhairish (fifty percent wool, forty percent polyester, ten percent nylon) navy with giant cabbage roses in wine and magenta, with teal leaves. Wearing it has been torture. Even with an under long sleeved shirt. I was about ready to wash it and give it away. Instead: I soaked it in a bucket of water to which a substantial amount of coconut hair conditioner had been added. Then just wrung it out (not rinsed). It's drying now, but feels, for the first time since I met it, actually *soft* rather than itchy. Will see.

  11. I would be a lot more hopeful re the National Nurse deal if DC weren't so full of members of the "Woman-Haters Men's Club".

    Umbrellas are always a good way to keep it from raining. :)

  13. The main reason I want to wear the spendy jacket to the graduation is that it has two interior zippered pockets. ;-)

  14. Well spoken, Bill!

    Mah*Sweetie is going to wear his Summer travel jacket (also Navy) to graduation, because it too has interior pockets and some of them are large enough to accommodate a collapsible umbrella. :-)

  15. Thanks! It was pretty hairy at times, kind of emotional, but no one stormed our and all the chief things of dear interest to my household came down well for us, so it was a gain. Happy, though tired.

  16. Perhaps. Though, truth be told, the best key sponsors of the bill have ever been men, and the organisations most worried about the bill in terms of a turf issue are run by women!

  17. er, that is...no one stormed ouT.

  18. Looks like the blogs last day may be next Thursday. Since April 29 (the stated date) is a Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't know. Thursday still seems kind of random. If March 29 fell on a Friday, I'd be more convinced.

    But I guess its neither here nor there as far as I'm concerned.

  20. Whew! And good. . . .

  21. Would make more sense, eh? But, I can hardly remember when HQ actually made sense. Or kept their word. I do remember getting an HOUR'S notice when they killed the old blog. They're not especially good people-wise. Or evidently at reading calendars, lol!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yup, I stopped reading them a very long time ago. I missed a lot of the people who still commented there, but it seemed too high a price to pay to stay. I get psycho when people treat me like they're the reasonable adult and I'm an unreasonable child. I'm old enough to be the grandma of some of them and my brains haven't leaked out quite yet. Psycho, I tell ya.

  23. Well, it *also* happens to be gorgeous, and will go wonderfully well with the dress!

  24. just a quick note; maybe I will quickly look over the blog, but soon to bed. It was a *relatively* non-arduous weekend at the hospital, but interfered with my beauty sleep as most always. We got some rain this weekend--enough to help.

    I am close to finished with E. W. Hornung's The Shadow of the Rope, which I think could be readily transformed into a late 20th-century thriller movie, although it is set in Edwardian England. It would be rather more difficult to situate it in the Internet Age, because personal secrecy is a significant factor in the plot.

  25. Every once in a while I get some confirmation that my brains haven't yet gone to rot-- nice...

  26. Bill--my experience with my doctoral thesis defense at the University of California was about like yours.

    Renee--Nice photo of Winnie. I don't know much about dog breeds--is s/he some particular breed or a little of this and that?

    Holy Cow, puddle--that is some story about the young heart transplant patient! Maybe I'm too much of a sweetheart, but I should hope Cheney would get a reforming heart. It would be justice if the heart rejected him, though.

    listener--pass along a handshake from me to Dr. Son. It IS an accomplishment, and if noting more, it is certainly a sign that one can do something that requires sticktoitiveness in spades.

    And now to bed.
