So last night was pretty effing epic! Sage got a promotion, the state of the union happened, and I did my taxes! I was positive I'd have to pay this year due to my tax forecast in October, but apparently the settlement pushed me through to a different bracket and I'm getting a refund of 800 bucks. Yay party times! Going to buy the Mara/Deon shoes after work <3

I can't believe I'll be on my way to DC in 2 days *___*

Also, anyone know if smuggling a sandwich/wrap is allowed on planes?

You can bring any food on a plane as long as its not liquid. Liquid is regulated and limited in size - but food is just food. I usually pack a lunch :D

I wasn't sure-- I've had a togo's sandwich get nabbed before, but that was back in 2002 when it seemed every week there was a new list of contraband :/. I still think the guy was just being a jerk and wanted it for himself.

I might bring my bento box with me and fill it with nommies then...

^^ This. My sister and I took a bunch of stuff on the way to Japan with us (including cut vegetables, cheese, and quinoa-and-lentil pilaf) and had no problems with it. Just don't take something like yoghurt or hummus over the size limit (though IDK if they'd dink you for hummus already on a sandwich ...) and you should be fine.

And CONGA RATS for all the shiny happiness happening! ♥

Nope hummus on a sandwich is fine (not one will even know, they'll just see a sandwich on the xray ;D ).
But note that sometimes between countries there may be regulations about fruit.

Makes sense. XD I fly out of a tiny tiny airport and security always seems to poke around inside my bags (for the weirdest reasons too), so I had the vision of them looking at the actual sandwich, not the x-ray scan of the sandwich.

... one of these days, I want to see what the contents of one of my bags looks like. It might explain some of the nonsensical searches.

That's just mean! I think I might get into it with a TSA agent if they tried to take my sandwich...
Its sometime the individual TSA agent too. Once I had to have a pat down because the stupid 'see you naked' machine couldn't see though my bra - at the same time my carry on bag was full of wood backed magnesium engraved printing plates and THAT didn't make an impression at all. *sigh*

Welcome back from Japan!

I think I might make "Shiny Happiness Happening" into a tag. It sounds entirely appropriate for my muppet-like life XD

Oh, quinoa and lentil pilaf sounds delish <3. I might pick something up from the Whole Foods salad bar tomorrow night and drag it with me. The hours jump is actually going to work with me for a change-- I'm use to eating lunch at 10am these days, and I'm pretty sure that's going to be when my layover in Houston is (12pm local). So if I don't eat on the plane, at least I'll have time on my hour layover to eat. XD

Thank you~ ♥

It is seriously delicious. My sister makes it and I keep stealing it when I go over there because it makes super breakfasts and stuff. It's basically quinoa and lentils and sauteed onion and olives (and if you're me, capers), and so easy and yum. XD

Heeeee, that's always nice when the hours cooperate with you! Sounds like you're kinda working with Eastern time already on a regular basis, though?

I have for the last two weeks, long enough for my sleeping habits to adapt. XD I was on basically Hawaiian time the last couple of months though. I miss my late shifts, even if I never got anything done ;___;

[mindsplinters]

Yes, you may bring food... But more importantly you can bring your AWESOMENESS. I can't wait to see you!

[kol]

Angie, I'd love to steal your kitchen for a half hour to make you guys pumpkin chocolate chip muffins <3333. Then you can have my awesome both ways!

Also! I'm bringing BPAL! If it makes it through :P

And finally, it is kind of stupid to reply walking home in the dark. I've run into 2 garbage cans already XD
