I was trying to wait for the new Good Riddance thread, but I just can't any more. I got my gift yesterday! Yay slacking! Lovely Fernet and a book Cooking with Fernet Branca, which I actually thought was a cookbook for a second, but looks really entertaining. I'm saving it for the trip to Florida with my mother next week, because I'm sure I'll need a laugh or two. Also, warm socks from Alaska with POLAR BEARS ON THEM. And a polar bear keychain that I might have to put on my work keys so that I can just jingle it when someone is annoying me and know that I'm really calling them a polar bear :) oh, oh, and SOAP. Beautiful handmade soaps in sweet nectar and honey, oats, and creme that smell really good. THANK YOU DREW!!!!!!!

This afternoon, I'm going to my mother's office for some interesting-sounding talk, which should be fun. I just told my boss I'll be out, so I'm sure she thinks I have an interview. A little psychological tactic....

It's cheating, isn't it, to go up to the executive floor and take the nice tea bags? But green tea with mango is nummier than anything we have down here.

I'm wearing a short skirt today. My primary concern is ripping my tights. My secondary concern is appearing a hussy. It has been forever since I've shown this much (albeit betighted) leg above the knee.

What's the talk about, Jesse?

Embrace your inner hussy, ita!

A book about Title IX, I think. I dunno, my mom gave me an excuse to get out of the house, so I took it!

There are rumors that the NYS legislature will pass a bill allowing gay marriage today.

Oh, you should see what I'm willing to wear on my days off. Mutton dressed as lamb indeed. But I'm getting more and more conservative at work. I noticed that more than half my skirts are mid-calf or longer. My boss probably thought I was Amish.

Which is totally plausible.

Skirts I wear in my free time look more like belts and if I wear tights they tend to have dragons on them or say things like BITCH.

You're so good about that. Even when I wasn't having headaches I couldn't be arsed.

But it's the good kind of cheating that everybody should do. 'Cuz you're sticking it to the man.

I'm not going to lie, between Monday and Tuesday the only out-of-house time I had was running to the 7-11 one time. So.

And on the tea bags, I would probably grab a stash any time I was up there, but not make a special trip.

well, if you happen to be up there, then fine.

It's maybe cheating if you make a special trip.
