The Gods were with me today.
First, I got this fine award from KC at All The World’s a Stage.
And I would give you one, but you might have one already. Ajooja does, and RachelSkirts does. However, Becs is highly deserving, as is ~~Silk, because they write faithfully, without enough praise. And I have to give one to Stephen and Connie at Planet of the Blind, for the writing and because it looks like a tipsy eye chart.
Second, I slept through one meeting and walked in late to another. But the Gods took pity and TeddyJ canceled the first meeting. I walked into the second one, five minutes late, yet two minutes before the speaker said “Let’s introduce the new employees! Where is Ellen S_____?” I was so jazzed I stood up with the Steve Holt gesture.
Third, our speaker used a new phrase: “It’s got hair on it!” Is your project moving along according to predetermined timetables? It would appear “it’s got hair on it.” Gary says he’s heard this before. I think he might just think he’s heard it before, just like “we are totally in the tank for Obama” from SNL. Had anyone heard “totally in the tank for” before that SNL skit? No. But still, we know what it means.
Fourth, I got an orchid from my friend Lea, who may have commented here as The Orchid Lady a few days ago.
Oh, and fifth, Friend #3 gave me a bite of the tuna casserole she made me and then ended up keeping for herself.

“It’s got legs” or “It’s got warts” said of a project creates a mental picture that has meaning. “It’s got hair”? Duh? I’m seeing a short round Cousin Itt, and I’m not sure I want to touch it.Aww, thanks for the plug. Becs certainly does Write. I sit here and pick my nose. I got all wrote out two years ago. Some good stuff back then….
Re: the tuna casserole: the world isn’t fair, it’s round.
Sounds to me like your project just reached puberty.Watch the thing – it’s liable to stomp out the room and slam the door before it matures.
I guess you should feel priviledged you had a bite. I’ve only gotten spaghetti and pizza. And I LOVE tuna.
I totally believe that you rate an E for Excellent, but I also have to admit that the award was a bit of a back-handed test. I wanted to see if any of my blog favorites actually ever read MY blog anymore. I see that you do and I am happy. 😉
That is quality. I should blog more but alas…I think I enjoy reading others more than writing my own.
And updating my projectplaylist more…forgot about that one. Whoops.
So if a project goes bad, does it shave, wax, or get a buzz cut?
I second the nomination for Becs, and I’d add Sherri as well. We had a tent-revival meeting today about The Big Good Thing that just happened, and while the food was both good and abundant, our conference room is either freezing or baking and today it was freezing. I swear I’m going to have to invest in blue nail polish just to hide my blue nails after these meetings.
~~Silk – Oh, so says the talcum woman…Friend #3 – Stand up and flush.jamon – You know, I thought of babies myself, you know, the ones that come out with hair on them already, but I like your idea better.#0.5 – When did she make you pizza?KC – HA! I passed the test! I love it.Autumn – Me too, but there are so many I enjoy!Sherri – It goes Brazillian. Or Boyzillian, if it’s a male project.Jammies – Your tents have conference rooms? Wow.
Yup, busted! ‘Hope it was a nice orchid. They had to liberate it from a greenhouse so I didn’t get to see it.
Orchid Lady – it’s a gorgeous deep red orchid. Thank you!
