Weather
Another hot one, but not quite as hot. It's just sad when I go outside, the temperature is in the high 80's, the humidity is higher & I think, "hm, it's cooler today."

Clothes: navy slacks (the ones I really need to just get rid of, but I don't have another pair to replace them), navy Tricon polo, navy loafers (new & just little tight). I'm also wearing the rainbow moonstone earrings, the moonstone ring, paui shell ring, rainbow moonstone cabochon pendant on a silver chain & ~wide silver ring with a double row of hash marks on it. I braided my hair because I'm sick of wearing it up. I'm also sick of skirts, which is why I'm wearing slacks.

PDA
Chris managed to find the key to get my Palm (it's an m105) to hotsync with my laptop on Sunday. Yeah! I have since downloaded a free eReader and some free eBooks. Thank you, Baen books & the authors who contributed. They're books that I have in hard copy, but now I can carry four or five of my favorites all the time (or rotate 4 or 6 favorites). I stayed up until midnight Sunday downloading & looking for free stuff (database, a couple games & so forth).

Ironclaw
Last night's game went well. My character is, in fact, a loose woman (she even has the flaw). But it was established last night, that she has standards. She slept with Brak, finally. And depending on circumstance may sleep with Tereck. Neill's out, he has a fiancee. Hey, none of them are the same race so there's no worry about pregnancy. And it does serve as an adventure hook for the game host, Diana. 'why are we doing this, again?' 'Because Clara thinks he's cute & wants to sleep with him'. Last night we were trying to figure out how to get this double agent (maybe triple, ie 3 sides) killed. Brak took over a small spy ring (all kids) as he told the boss to get out of town.

Soda pop, soda pop
New flavor: Pepsi Jazz. It's strawberry & cream flavored & by looking at the web page there's a black cherry French vanilla. I've only tried the first one, the diet variety. It's very sweet but since I have a sweet tooth, that's not an issue. Yum!

Car News
Chris's car's AC is still out. And it's not the simple little fix with parts on hand. Instead, it's the 'replace the entire compressor+' type fix. Ugh.

So, it's possible we may be renting a car to go to Tricon. Not great, but better than trying to go to Florida with no A/C. Thanks to my employee discount, we can get a minivan for a little over $200. Better than $400 from some agencies.

Today's outfit: blue jeans (duh, it's the weekend), tan 'Battle for Gorna' t-shirt (if you don't play Living Greyhawk, you won't understand) and either barefoot or loafers. The t-shirt has touches of blue (a giant's skin, banner, etc). Quartz chips & silver feather charm earrings, quartz point carved with a feather pendant on a longish silver chain, flat twisted braid/rope silver band, silver ring set with paui square & braided hair.

Soda Pop News: Okay, I love vanilla sodas, preferably diet. Straight vanilla soda is a little sweet. So I fell in love with diet vanilla Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper & berries & cream Dr. Pepper. Now, it's getting hard to find any of them. They're 'fad' drinks. *snarl* Oh, black cherry vanilla coke; I don't like cherry so it's out. However, Chris found diet strawberries & cream vanilla Pepsi. It's yummy.

Recent books: I read Wizard of Karres last night. I stayed up way too late to finish it, but it was good. It's by Mercedes Lackey, Eric Flint & Dave Freek. It's the sequel to Witches of Karres by John Schmitt. Today I read John Moore's 3rd book, I just can't remember the title. It's about a country needed a bad prince. I've already read Heroics for Beginners & The Unhandsome Prince.

Now that I've posted for today; I have to go back & edit the picture of the blue roses so it's not ginormous. Which, by the way, is pronouced Ji-nor-mus.
