this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Good grief, got my electric bill and it's FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! That's over four times what I normally pay, and that's their *estimate*. How can they look at my past bills and *guess* at such an increase??!?!!

We got the same electric bill, Juliebird. After I regained consciousness (from, you know, fainting when I saw the bill), I told The Boy that we need to schedule a meter reader ASAP.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, the internet is nothing if not good for other people wailing. I think I've ordered the correct proprietary part from Amazon. Oops, forgot to use the link. But anyway, it was five bucks. It cost more for the shipping than the product. But it better turn up promptly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's probably better than a $50 bottle of Tequila.

Uh...that I've done. Multiple sorts at a time. But I'm a tequila girl. I don't know whiskey from...well, Oban's the only brand I could tell you. I bet it's Plei's fault.

I noticed a bottle of $120 Appleton rum behind glass at BevMo. I drooled a little. 21 years old. The fanciest I've had is the XL.

Huh. Suddenly I want to date men and drink alcohol that's the same age.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not a half-hour ago, I saw the clip from American Pie where Mrs. Stifler has an 18-year-old scotch or whatever, along with her 18-year-old boytoy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Actually, I think I have a couple of bottles too, on the tequila.

I haven't finished them, but now I think I should.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oban is not worth $70. $50, yes, and it's a mighty tasty $50. A tasty $50 that I would go through very quickly. Mmmm, Oban.

I don't know what prairiedogging *or* meerkatting is. But the former does sound pr0ny to me.

Oh! Thank you, Ginger. It's been a long time since I was in an office, I guess.

Although the kitten sometimes pops out of the laundry basket.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Man, I swear Scotch prices have jumped. I was at the booze store yesterday, and Oban at inflated WA prices (California, you are lucky) was almost $70. It used to be our $50 staple.
