PAYDAY EVE... Up about 7:30 (when the alarm went off). Checked E–mail
and such. Came to the conclusion the debugging team had more than
enough cooks trying to stir the soup, so I expanded some existing
software tests. Came home to TIME, WSJ, and shredder food. Went over
to the usual Mexican place for tortilla soup, beef nachos, and chicken
quesadillas. Listening to the news, which is better than they're doing
on the far North side of the metro Houston area (around 70K customers
lost power when a major transmission line failed: The Woodlands to
Huntsville, for those who know South Texas). For the day:
Red polo shirt
Blue denim chinos
Nike Air Trainer Escape sneakers (red/black/white)

HOUSTON, WE'VE RETURNED TO FLIGHT –– NOW TO BITE NAILS WHEN STS–114
DOES ITS RE–ENTRY... Woke up around 7:45. Checked E–mail and such
while listening to NPR Morning Edition. Watched the Discovery launch
go off like clockwork. Had some medical stuff done today instead of
slaving over a hot computer. (Clinical lab SOP not infrequently seems
to be a second phlebotomist when the first drills a dry hole; they do
it that way to make it a bit less traumatic on all involved. Nikki,
phlebotomist #2, commented she'd had me before as a patient.) Decided
I needed a haircut... guess I wasn't THAT hungry despite having to
fast. I was hungry by the time I had my late lunch: tortilla soup and
grilled chicken. Watched TV some after I got home. For the day:

Car batteries come in Northern and Southern versions where they try to
optimize the design for those regional differences.

Whataburger and not having it restart because your battery suddenly

FIRST DAY OF THE THREE–DAY TEXAS SALES TAX HOLIDAY 2005: Had the alarm
clock set for 7:45. Tossed the trash (just the normal Monday through
Friday accumulation), checked E–mail and such. Spent day crossing the
T's and dotting the I's on some software changes. (I had one piece of
code where I had two reports of the same problem; instead of getting
rid of one, I had to list both of them in the header, probably so we
could have the appearance of having done more work.) Got a wireline
phone bill, the WSJ, and some other semi–junk in the mail. Decided

soup and carne guisada. Now listening to the 10 PM news. For the work

Mom says that I like about any kind of soup. I didn't get any when I

I have ordered tortilla soup followed by tortilla soup.
I also improve frozen entrees with broccoli by adding more broccoli.
That way, I can say that it's something I cooked from multiple

Audrey – Thanks for resurrecting this thread. I just realized that I
missed it, even though I seldom posted because I usually felt my outfits
were too repetitive. But here goes:
* Levis dirty rinse boot cut jeans
* black v–neck three–quarter sleeve stretch t shirt
* black Doc Martens strapped mules

* Silver storywheels necklace with pink stone & green turquoise wheels

It was so unbearably hot earlier this week but today it is only in the
50s this morning. It'll be sunny and in the 70s today, and the weekend
should bring the same. We'll spend the weekend getting ready for the
two racing trips we are taking in the next 3 weeks (an IRL race and an
ALMS race). In the meantime, for the office and the trip over the Blue
Ridge, I wear:
ankle length sleeveless crepe dress, taupe background with futurama
pattern of squares in varying shades of greens
dark brown fabric and leather sandals
diamond heart necklace (round cut diamonds, raised yellow gold setting)
bezel cut diamond earrings (white gold setting)
usual diamond and sapphire rings
silver faced watch (elongated rounded rectangular face––like an old TV
set)with a row of rhinestones on both sides on a leaf green leather
band

A day at work with no meetings, then out to see the FABULOUS Batman
Begins movie.
* TYFM Baby Phat Jeans
* Nine West Turquoise ribbed tank with sequin trim at neckline
* Turquoise shrunken cardigan with pearl buttons
* CZ 2 Ctw studs and smaller diamond studs
* Two rubber cause bracelets
* Other normal jewelry
* Columbia lavendar hooded jacket (It's June. It' raining. Sigh.)
Nadya

For a pedicure and running errands:
* Columbia dark green capris
* brown, green & pink s/s top
* Cole Haan black criss cross slides
* three stone marjorie Baer gold and crystal earrings
* Normal jewelry
Later – to go to a friend's for her annual gumbo dinner
* Levis dirty wash boot cut jeans
* Columbia dark raspberry 3/4 sleeve snap front polo
* Black Doc Martens mules
* Southwestern Sterling earrings with a multi–color stone inlay and
silver feather dangles
* Normal jewelry

Going to the mall today for a trip to MAC, and to get an anniversary
gift for my parents (I'm literally sitting here, waiting for it to be
time to leave in time to arrive when the mall finally opens); dinner
later with hubby, his brother, his parents, and his grandfather:
*White Victoria's Secret "Easy Jeans" (low waist, wide leg)
*Burgandy BR drapey s/s top w/white cami underneath
*Handmade leather white flip–flops that I got at the Garlic Festival
last year
*Big gold Kenneth Cole earrings – each is a large dangling hoop with
chains hanging from the top half of the hoop

each one has a pole–mounted fuse. One of the transformers went out,
the auto–reclose breaker upstream popped and reset, and then the pole
fuse went. After that happened, the auto–reclose breaker reclosed and
all was well except on the bad circuit. Enough parenthetical comment
about how the CenterPoint Energy distribution system works.) Had the
alarm clock set for 7:45, and its backup battery worked. Listened to
morning NPR coverage and checked E–mail and such. I've been in all day

soup) and chicken breast covered in queso and pico de gallo. Took a

E–mail and such. Off to work. Smoke–tested some stuff before I get it
on the real rig (a fairly oversubscribed resource!). Also turned in a
change that came back with a "you did the right end–item functionality
but the flags don't change in the right order." Came home, grabbed the
mail. Haven't eaten yet but may fix that problem momentarily. For the

Well, I sure don't have that happen with tortilla soup.

THANKSGIVING DAY + 2: Managed to crash computer (doing a "have a
backup before you try this" operation). Had to spend some time in
computer de–scrambling: I'm pretty much back to normal but I had to
reload a lot of stuff. Also sorted and trashed old magazines. Up
early, some thunder, had breakfast, back to sleep. Heavy rain before
lunch, moderate rain after lunch. Went over for Mexican food: tortilla
soup along two tacos (one beef, one chicken). Now waiting for "A
Prairie Home Companion" to start up momentarily. For the day

LAST DAY OF THE MONTH OF JUNE 2005... Woke up about dawn, got a big

fashionable, but they are my "tropic wear" since it is sunny and hot.

TOMORROW'S THE LAST TGIF OF JULY 2005: Woke up around 8:15. Checked
E–mail and such while listening to NPR Morning Edition. Spent the day
chewing down into my last significant code change... something they
added to the plate to keep me busy while everybody else finishes up.
(Two data items, almost identical names... and, alas, I only created
one of them!) Grabbed the mail and took it over for tortilla soup, a
beef enchilada, and a chicken enchilada. Now, listening to the Simon
Property Group 2Q 2005 conference call replay... they are discussing
the Federated/May merger. They mentioned The Mother of All Places to
Shop Around Here, the Houston Galleria. (Given the Federated press
release, they're going to shut the Macy's in the Galleria and rebrand
the existing Foley's as Macy's as it's a newer/nicer/larger store.)

SATURDAY THE 9TH OF JULY 2005... Woke up about dawn, checked E–mail
and such, then back to sleep for a while. Weather around here has been
rainier and cooler than it has been, but it is expected to dry up and
heat up after the weekend. Out for Mexican food (tortilla soup, a beef
enchilada, a cheese enchilada, and four beef nachos). Spent the rest

Saw this one today:
http://www.fds.com/ir/maymerger/template/pressrelease.asp?item_id=736315
In summary:
#1 – The following nameplates are going to switch to Macy's in Fall
2006:
Famous–Barr
Filene's
Foley's
Hecht's
The Jones Store
Kaufmann's
L.S. Ayres
Meier & Frank
Robinsons–May
Strawbridge's
#2 – Lord & Taylor will be staying as–is.
#3 – The disposition of Marshall Field's is still up in the air.
#4 – They will close/divest 68 duplicative locations:
41 May Company stores
27 Federated stores
* * * * * * * *
I realized some interesting things about some malls I'm familar with:
#1 – The closest major mall to me had its Macy's close. Dillard's
expanded and rebuilt the store. Then, Foley's expanded and rebuilt the
old Dillard's. Now, the Foley's will become Macy's. Net effect: Macy's
and Dillard's flipped end to end.
#2 – The closest major mall to the Farm had three original anchor
stores in 1974: Macy's, Sears, and Stiix, Baer, & Fuller. When The
Jones Store becomes rebranded as Macy's, they'll basically be the
original configuration. (Stix, Baer, & Fuller was acquired by
Dillard's after the mall opened; their old location became a
Dillard's.)

THE LAST WORK DAY OF JULY 2005: Set alarm for 7:45, woke up first.
Woke up around 8:15. Dumped the accumulated trash, then checked E–mail
and such while listening to NPR Morning Edition. Spent the day chewing
down into my last significant code change. Found a rather obvious (in
retrospect) code bug in the process. Spent about an hour debugging
before it was time to go home. Threatening weather outside about dusk
but it went further north. Fixed chicken and rice and veggies while
listening to "Mad Money" on CNBC. Now listening to the local news.

NOT A GOOD TUESDAY IN AUGUST 2005: Had the power go out just before
midnight last night... reportedly, somebody hit a power pole. About
the time I zonked (sans A/C, sans CPAP), CenterPoint did some
jerry–rigging around the problem. Of course, that restarted everything
and I woke up. I slept a while and woke up late and headachey. I
decided to go over for Mexican food as I was getting hungry. When I
came back, I decided to nap. Of course, CenterPoint was ready to put
things to rights and a no–CPAP nap just doesn't work very well. Picked
up the mail, and fed myself supper in front of the TV. For the day:

place in a bit (not quite the same as the

over the Blue Ridge, but very good nonetheless), and then we'll spend
the afternoon hanging out (and watching the race, of course!).

However, I was stylin' as I wore a dress that I picked up many years ago

Great service with a jazz band, of course.

momentarily (to pick up something I left but wanted at home) and then
to get some (mostly) groceries at Wally World. (I opened Pandora's box
the last time I went there, they've got stuff I can't find elsewhere.
On the other hand, I think that's also true about the other places I
grocery shop..... HEB and SuperTarget for sure.) Came home and
unloaded the car (three trips!). Went over for tortilla soup and

HD decided on Tues to have a meltdown and a major geeksquad rescue was
involved.. so I had to spend some time getting things in order and
still have another gs rescue to realign the network and printer since
nothing is working still and the guy left without doing that. UGH
anyway.. yesterday was cool because I was able to get Greer Wylder of
the Newport/Costa Mesa Daily Pilot Newspaper to come with for a trip up
to LA to visit some huge suites
wore cropped cuffed denims with brown patterned tights (DKNY) along
with brown suede wedge knee high boots and a brown sweater l/s with
pink chiffon cuffs and pink chffon neckline and scarf.. lots of cool
jewelry and off we went in my car..
today going again.. have to hit platinum guild, silver spoon, hilton
and the luxe.. and wearing a pair of jeans (either edun ––these rock––
or joes or red engine) along with a cami and a rose colored cashmere
cardgian with sequins and deconstructed chiffon trim and also a jacket
since it's supposed to rain.. and of course black roper boots.. (rain..
ugh)
more later!

She didn't ask me about the possibility of gallbladder cancer,
having had breast cancer five years ago. (I looked because I'd never
heard of it: It's extremely rare, along with heart cancer.
Sending good thoughts and prayers that your mom's surgery is successful
and that she does not have a reoccurence of cancer, either breast or
otherwise.
