I have mentioned before that women are outnumbered at my job. I had a nice moment in front of the watercooler this afternoon.

7. This blog might be moving soon, because I don’t want to pay for Typepad anymore. Or maybe it will go away. I have so many blogs already. It’d be nice to just combine them all. Hmm…

If that still doesn’t satisfy you, we would like to invite our local friends to help us do some planting/fixing up of the yard. We’re not really all that good at that and could use the extra hands.
