I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Let's hope that works!

Have purchased plane tickets. Other than an early flight for returning here (but hey, my parents are morning people, they'll survive, ) not too bad.

It was frigid this morning and the wind cut through everything I was wearing like a run in your last pair of pantyhose. It's so cold I think it made parts of my body seize up, which is why I am declaring myself I Groggy McGimp for the day.

I am soothing myself with black coffee and internet-window-shopping at Zappos.

Congrats to your new-baby-friend, Nilly!

Probably more constructive than when I turned to the BF at four this morning and asked "why did you give me the hammers?"

Because he took the knives?

So many fugly boots, oh my god, I'm dying over here.

ETA: Since I'm not allowed to buy, I must mock to make myself feel better.

I don't know, I like some of those boots. But then, I developed my fashion tastes in the '80s.

Thrive to spite them

The second pair look like part of a uniform from a bad sci fi movie.

That's exactly what I was thinking, askye.

Well, you know, taste is subjective and I understand that. There are a lot of shoes I look at and can't decide if they're fugly or brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love the ones that say something along the lines of "everyone will notice you in these!" Yeah, because they'll all be saying "What the fuck does she have on her feet??"

Holy crap!

So while I was out, my officemate had a piece of new equiptment shoot flames at him. So, after restarting his heart, he wrote up a funny email to send to his bosses, requesting hazard pay. Who, in addition to requesting a new thingie, passed on his tale of adventure to the supplier.

Yesterday, he got a box purporting to be the replacement. BUT! It isn't. It was a box full of logo shirts, a gps receiver, logo pens, a fleece, and all sorts of other stuff from the parent company. And a sympathy card. It's all labelled "HAZARD PAY."

Dude. I know the parent company is purported to be an awesome place to work but ... dude. That's above and beyond and man, someone has a great sense of humor.
