| new accomplishmentI made my mom's pie crust today - with the towel to roll it on and everything. In the oven now surrounding a chicken pot pie. First time. All the other pies and cobblers to come out of my kitchen have had a pressed into the pan with fingers crust.
Branching out here.

| randomTold today: "You're the poster child for the after life!" (Not referring to eternity but to the empty nest.)
Reading material in my bathroom: Art of War - Sun Tzu and Classic and Contemporary Readings in the Philosophy of Education - Steven M Cahn. Just some light reading you can pick up for a minute of cerebral improvement.
Received in the mail today: Christmas fabric, owl fabric and grocery ads.
Last five days: interacted with about 725 people.
This week: interviewed for a job for the first time in 20 years. No, I take that back... about 8 years ago I went into a business that Harold worked at part time and inquired about a position that just barely existed. I stood and looked down on the two seated supervisors and told them how much to pay me and how few hours I was available. That's not really an interview, but I was on the payroll there for awhile. On my terms.
Feeling: a little tired.

| Keisha Keisha, she's our friend....
This is me talking to Keisha at AT&T. I called to grouse about the changes in the bill.... higher, thus the grousing. BUT
she responded to my "Oh, well, thank you, I understand. I'll just shop around then..." with
"Well, what can I do for you?"
And I told her I would like thus and such and she did that and MORE... so the bill is now half what is was.
I mean, when you are a senior citizen such as myself and have paid them for 27 years to have a phone ( imagine - my first AT&T phone had a CORD and it was an amazing new bonus to get one so much longer that you could walk 25 feet away from the wall) then it pays to ask. I guess the free market system works and stuff.

What are the odds that they would choose the same dress?
