Project Updates:

The update is a day ahead schedule because I will be heading out to the Mayan Ranch for a conference.

My thoughts on fire prevention...
1) don't take the battery out of the fire extenguisher to prevent the chirping noise when it is dead. REPLACE the battery!
2) know how to use a fire extinguisher. You can take classes on this. Go visit your local fire house (most do not have poles anymore because they were a safety hazard) and ask them for a demonstration.
3) do not leave food unattended in microwaves and toaster ovens. I swear one day the break room is going to catch on fire.

What did I learn last week?

• Sick people should not go to work. I took two days off to deal with some sort of allergy sinus thing or something that a co-worker brought in from their kid.
• I made popovers for breakfast yesterday and I discovered that the only levening agent in them is eggs. No baking soda or powder. I'd never eaten/made them before. They were tasty. Kind of french toast-y tasting.
  

• Website: I am working on the CSS reboot. I am changing the seasons of my website. I am having issues with getting css border images to work. I will be triumphant by Nov 1 and noon.
• Sewing: I cut out 2 pairs of pants. I am nearing the stage where I attach the waistband.
• Soul Cleansing: I watched "The Point" last week during my sick day couch-a-thon. It reminded me that 1) things aren't always what they seem and 2) you see what you want to see vs what is really there.
