I did my utter best not to do a double-take at an ashed woman here at work. But I did have to remind myself what was going on. While I was basically familiar with the concept it wasn't anything I'd seen until relatively recently.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm screwed. I need to get a gift for my FiL and MiL for this weekend--we're doing a belated Christmas at their house. But I have NO IDEA what to get them. My ideas--earrings for MiL and GPS for FiL are out because MiL doesn't wear earrings and FiL got a GPS for Christmas from MiL.
I really have NO CLUE. Most years, we get them something big--like a nice gas grill or deck furniture. But this year, they don't need anything and they don't have hobbies per se. Why did I wait until the last minute?

Hey, javachick, is this your girl at Clio? [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss gave me a new Grainger catalog. I'm so excited - I haven't looked through one of those in decades....

Our wings are not tired.
Nora, YES!
ETA: Cashmere, do they like movies? I gave Steve a Roku and a gift certificate for Netflix (he is on the austerity plan right now and is going without cable...)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of cooking, can I make some kind of cream sauce with whole milk, not cream? To hold together cooked chicken, broccoli, and pasta?

I think many Buffistas need an autonomous blimp. Perhaps it could be altered to randomly drop cat treats as it flies though your apartment or house.

Excellent, I figured out who her husband is. [link] (I love the internet and how small the Boston food scene is) But I haven't figured out anything about his new place! Heh. I am very, very nosy.
Jesse, you can make a bechemel sauce, you do a roux with fat (butter) and flour and then add milk and bring to a boil. You'd have to look up the right proportions though. I suck at monkeying around with those.

OK, that was kind of my plan. There are actual proportions? I will look it up!

In other food news, I just signed up for a CSA for this summer! I'm a little scared about waste, but figure that since it's Friday pick-up, I will deal with stuff/make a plan over the weekend and be OK.
