percivalFirst of all, thank you to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shellebelle93 and cynthia_black - I never thought I could have an intelligent discussion with Creationists, but you two proved me wrong. It seems that every time I hit an aspect of other believers' concepts of religion that I do not understand, I find someone on LJ who helps me revise my prejudices. Go LiveJournal!
Secondly, the company I work for will receive a high visitor tomorrow: His Royal Highness Prince Andrew AKA Fergie's ex-hubby AKA Randy Andy. Dress code for the day is picturesque high tech shabby chic; balaclavas are allowed, but any cassette players will be confiscated. After we've been recce'd (i.e. searched from top to bottom) by two separate groups of security people in the past week, tomorrow morning will herald the arrival of big mean dogs with well-trained noses. Their task is to spot any Semtex that our employees might have carelessly left in their drawers. Parking in front of the building will not be permitted (car bombs); neither will be visitors other than High Royal ones with assorted entourage. Any innocuous parcels will be turned away from our doors. Our CFO will personally walk ahead of HRH, to make sure somebody else steps on that carpet mine first. Since HRH will visit the offices, said spaces have to be clean, our desks have to be clear. I think I will shave my legs to mark the occasion.
Thirdly, I Must Diet Tomorrow. I have made the big mistake of unearthing a very nice cookie recipe. Baked cookies, got hooked. Fear for waistline. Go hide cookies and give them away to coworkers and friends. Moreish. Completely. Homemade. Oatmeal. Raisin. Cookies. Need I say more?

*shakes head* Where was I? Oh. Say 'yo' to the Royal for me, all right? Or don't. ;-)

(P.S.: can you eat maple syrup? if so, then I have a cookie recipe for you.)

Date: 2003-07-01 04:49 pm (UTC)...I wouldn't bother shaving your legs for it, though.
The cookies sound nice, though. Like Anzac biscuits with raisins in... ~whimpers~ It's too long since I made Anzac biscuits. Must make Anzac biscuits on Friday when I'm home because of stupid striking buses. I have the Golden Syrup and everything...

I'm sure you look fabulous, whatever (I'd give the balaclava a miss, though - it's so not July-wear...)
