Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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

It's all HR stuff, but I talked to my boss and she seems cool. So kind of looking forward to it?

not your mom's socks.

We are home!

In keeping with this leg of the trip, we were last row, last off the plane ... But we still arrived at baggage claim in time to stop the elderly couple from walking off with our checked bag. DH has work tomorrow. I'm keeping HKF home to chill and eat something. I wish she could do laundry.

Amy-pictures!

We're hoooooooome!!!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Woo, I cleaned up some things. Go me.

Happy first day, bon bon! May your commute be fast.

I made a turkey today. It does not taste good to me. Neither does the potato leek soup I made. Even the french bread we have is sort of wrong -- too airy. At least the amazingly good brown rice was delicious.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I forgot to mention (I think it was in Natter) that they *do* make heating vests. A motorcycle catalog will likely have one.

I have tomorrow off. Since New Year's was a Saturday, we get tomorrow off as the statutory holiday.

The status is NOT quo.

I am not warm at all. The 39 degree temp is chilly in an un-insulated house.

So much this. I'm always freezing at school and at home when the temp drops below 60, honestly. Much colder than I was when I lived I'm CT where people understand concepts like heat and insulation.

I still have 9 final exams to grade before I can go to bed and I do not want to. I also don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Whine.

You can do it! Just a few more to go!

Hmmm... weird. I lost half my post. But it was whining so not useful.

I boiled beets tonight. I think I'll have them with apples tomorrow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I boiled beets tonight. I think I'll have them with apples tomorrow.

That almost sounds like a proverb, translated from another language. Like, "One man's troubles are but fleas to his neighbor's camel." Or something.
