My boss told us we could come in late today, and I think I'm still just the second one here...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Straight lines are hard, yo.
Why am I not working from home today? That seems like a miscalculation.

All good thoughts for Grace's surgery. May it be fast and with good results.
Hey Kat, do you have to work next week? just asking.
I am not working today. I think I have mentioned how I LOVE having Fridays off. As someone about to be really and truly fully unemployed, I should maybe be less excited.
In talking with my family the other night we realized that mac is getting no toys this Christmas aside from a couple of smallish lego things and a board game (and he doesn't really love board games). Since we all refuse to buy him games for the DS and I am not ready to bring another game console into the house, mom and dad are going to get him a skateboard. I have to meet mom at like 11 or so to go shopping for it.
ION, is it tacky that I have been buying things for myself as I do all my Christmas shopping? Here's why, mom and dad have bought me chairs, I chose them, they are awesome, but they are chairs and they won't under the tree or wrapped. My guess is that mac has either gotten me a DD gc or a gc for a massage, again, useful, appreciated, but you know. Brother will have more than one thing probably, but it shouldn't be much since he paid for the movers. So I bought a purse and some flannel pjs and some fun shoes for the spring. I want to wrap them up, but I think that will cross the line. I am not using any of them until after Christmas though, I really look at them as gifts, and none of them were more than $20.

I buy my own Christmas presents, especially small stocking stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't get any. I also end up buying things I need while Christmas shopping, because I don't shop that often, and while I'm at the mall, I might as well pick up some jeans. This is how I happened to go bra shopping on Black Friday.

Oh Msbelle, presents for myself is how I get through Xmas shopping. It does not help that everything is on sale right now. I am almost at a 1:1 ratio of presents to "presents for me."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anti-dinosaur bigotry, or just good common sense?
Also, somewhere there's a Blockbuster that's hiring?

I bought myself a new chair and consider that a Christmas prezzie to me.
Car is at the shop. Now it is crossing fingers that they don't find anything hidden that needs work. A couple of weeks ago, when I got the tires changed, I needed new brakes. This time it is at the auto body replacing a window.

Well, if Blockbusters has been unwittingly hiring velociraptors to handle point of sale, I can see why they are having trouble keeping customers.

Though specifically, I don't like public proposals because it feels more like he's playing to the crowd than to his girl. The moment is special; it doesn't need more cowbell.
This. If you have to use peer pressure from thousands of strangers to ensure a yes, you shouldn't be getting married in the first place.
