I got this in the mail already! I know what I’m doing this weekend. The linen is a painfully small weave. I’m hoping it will relaxxxxxx my brain and wash away all thoughts of work.

Bummer that I packed my gee-dee hoops already. O, moving is such a pain in the hole.

My coworker has this lovely little stone necklace that I’ve admired several times. This time I had her let me take a pic so I could try to copy it.

I did not have great luck with the bead selection, but they all are stones like jade and blah blah blah.

And my knotting skills are mediocre. But dummies, I have a new necklace!

Stones on silk cord. About $5. Bueno!

Here's a dictionary to translate our (ok, mostly Kelsey's) bastardization of the English language. Confused? Join the club.

______ of fear = fill in the blank and it's something bad. If you got a bad haircut, it's Hair of Fear.

Naush = Nauseous. I stole this from Michelle Harris and I think it's fab.

Put a Turbo on it = Hurry Up.

Redbook = Not a women's magazine, an 8th grade Science notebook. Come on! See also, Oregon Blue Book.

Roger Lodge = Not just the host of that horrible dating show, I can't remember the name. It's also means, "OK!"

Tarred and Feathered = Really damn tired.

The Diff = Oh, how to define this? And should it be alpha under D or T? Alicia, please edit. I'd say it's being cool but not too cool. Having a good sense of humor? Or, we could list it under K for 'Knows the Diff' and just define it as The Ultimate Compliment. Help!

Togar = Together. Thanks mom.

YOU!!!! Get serious!! = A good one to leave on someone's voicemail. You have to yell it and sound mean. Then you say, "It's me, call me" in your normal voice. Then you laff and laff.
