Please to forgive...

It's just come to my attention that a few kind folks have added me as Friends to their lists. I'm still figuring this LJ thing out...balancing the whole public life/private life thing...gimme some time to catch up, okay?

Hooray for Mandatory Fun

My department just had an impromptu "creative" meeting, the upshot of which is that we're each bringing home a pumpkin. (Mine is very oblong, but nicely symmetrical.) See, we're supposed to decorate these pumpkins and bring them back tomorrow for a contest and celebratory potluck lunch. Please note that I have very little talent for decorating pumpkins, using a knife to carve anything...and we have almost nothing in the house from which to create a potluck food item.

( A few ideas come to mind: )

Sweet godden, save my overly comptetitive ass.
