When chops are thoroughly cooked, remove from heat and set on serving plate

Good day all you LJers.

Since I have no facebook (hehe) I need to do this the old fashioned way. I have not yet composed an email to be sent out "world wide" as it were, but I'd like to get some feedback here first.

I want to go up to Massachusetts in the near future (not this weekend, but maybe next or the one after that?). I would like to see AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE that I have not socialized with in some time. This is A LOT OF PEOPLE.

And to be honest, some of you do not get along with others of you, which I think is rather sad. But none-the-less! I am up to the challange of a sleepless weekend, and I want to do some good old fashioned catching up. Maybe coffee somewhere, maybe a lunch date somewhere else. Perhaps a small videogame get together, maybe a small dinner party? Boardgames are also an option.

Who's with me?

First off, I am posting from my phone. So I appologize in advance for spelling and grammatical errors.
Second, I am still not employed full time by anyone. I am continuing to work for the lawyers I worked for before, just under a different name. they keep SAYING they they will merge with a national firm and be able to provide benefits, etc., but in my opinion they are not moving towards that option, nor do they appear to WANT to. That is all very frustrating to us peons.
Third - today I was asked by yhe firm I used to work for 4 years ago (man its been that long?) to cover their phones while they all attend the funeral of the managing partner's mother. very sad, but its $25 an hour for me...
So I'm just sitting here, at my old desk, no computer, just chilling and knitting for the next few hours. Oh, and Jays phone is busted so if u want to talk to him call me.

I just realized that I have three weddings to attend... and I need three different dresses...

Now in the past few years when I've had three (or more!) weddings to attend, usually I could get away with wearing the same dress at least twice simply because the weddings were in completely different circles (and states).

This however... this is going to take some massive planning, funds, and weight loss...

Crap.... How many days til the first wedding? Anyone?

EDIT: oh and if I could get the color schemes of each wedding pls? That way I won't blend in with the wedding party (made that mistake before)

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- What I create will be just for you.
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- You will receive your item before the end of the year (or sooner).
- You will have no clue what the item is going to be. It could be a story or poetry. It could be a piece of handmade jewelry or an art doll. I may draw, paint, collage or knit something. I might bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to repost this meme and make and send out five surprises of your own.

Thanks to everyone who looked at or volunteered to look at my resume.  It's a lot neater now (hadn't been updated since I started in 2005). 

There were "people" in the office today to "look around."  I stayed home, had stuff to do, had planned today off in any case, but I heard it felt like a fishbowl.  These people were walking around, and we're "selling" ourselves as a whole, trying to get other firms to "buy" us as an office.... weird.

Anyway, I got an email today from a recruiter saying how sorry she was, that she had heard about everything, and that she wanted to talk about a possible billing position for me... odd much?  But lucky nonetheless.  So my resume will be posted tonight, and we'll see what happens.

Here's luck.
