Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not QUITE over yet. I will psare you the details.

In exciting news, today is the first day we have a cleaning lady! We are having her twice a month for $50 per visit. SUCH luxury, OMG. I will be cutting back on haircuts and dying my own hair to pay for it, but it's so worth it. I love clean floors, but both the DH and I hate mopping, so it was a the one part of the house which was almost never really clean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Feel better, Scrappy! And enjoy your cleaning lady!

It's almost 70 degrees here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

find a bike rack, sortable by zip codes!

Ooh, I so wanted a site like this to exist!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm brainstorming for this year's office white elephant gift exchange - I usually aim for something slightly geeky but not so much that nobody wants it. This year I'm thinking USB-powered mug warmer and a Starbucks gift card. Thoughts?

I think my hair is possessed. By a demon of greyness. And standing-upness (the ever-increasing greys are so ORNERY.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have the same problem, flea. Last week I found grey eyebrow hairs.

That's cool. I was gonna suggest USB Pet Rock, but at least the mug warmer does something....

Apparently my new bathroom light doesn't show the greys very well -- I had kind of a shock over Thanksgiving.

Our wings are not tired.

I had to skip (will go back and read later) to ask you all an important hivemind question. Please no lengthy discussions, what I really need is a "first take" response.

If an ad you saw had a polar bear prominently going into an ice cave with "hibernate" on the label, what would you immediate thought be?

(this is work-related, but I can't comment further than that)

It was going into a strip club?

No wait, hibernate!
