Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I bought furniture and then my parents bought me more!

I got 2 chairs and a nightstand yesterday from an Antique place. The chairs are not antique they are 2007 or 08 from World Market, armless, dark olive green seat and back with dark wood legs and frame around the back. The night stand is a one drawer mahogany deal from the 40s or 50s. Then the parents got me for Christmas and Birthday for like the next 3 years, 2 wing back recliners.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nice!

Can I make it through the next 40 minutes??

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

More autocorrect fun: Damn You Auto Correct! - Readers' Top Ten Autocorrect Fails

They missed the best one. "Broccoli" autocorrected to "neocolonialism" on a pizza order.

I think all comments threads for CNN articles eventually end up as a fight between Obama bashers and Obama supporters regardless of the contents of the story.

But this is the arts/entertainment section of the Sun Times. It doesn't look like it started on topic and drifted.

Jesse, I don't think so. You better find a fainting couch.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Out of nowhere, but since when does geekiness need a smooth segue? My friend on facebook points out that:

Did you know the longest extended Pi Day of our lives will be coming up in year 2015 on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53.589...

Ooh!

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

So how come a co-worker can say "Mochachino-stick-it-up-your-ass latte" to me, and I can't work out the right audience for SWAG? When did I get this tone deaf? Dammit.

Boss just asked me if I was going to be here until 4. Paranoia alert! I've left before him once in weeks, and that was yesterday. I'm going to have to convince myself it was just the pervasive niceness around here.

happy little things: Mac goes to the grandparents' on Fridays, so I am cooking things where I get to use the Kitchen knives.

not at all happy thing: there is a dead squirrel in my bushes. Should I just get a shovel and bury it, or should I call animal control?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shovel.

Cool No Bullying ad that includes a very interesting array of celebrities, including Cindy McCain specifically calling out DADT.

Punishingly Intricate

I'd call animal control, msbelle. yick!

I have a problem that's root is someone being really nice to me so I feel bad about it feeling like an added stressor. I have a good friend who has a flower shop in Belgium (called Baltimore!). When I told him I was getting married he offered to do my flowers for me. Now, if he hadn't offered I probably wouldn't have had (real) flowers at all. It's not something I really care about. But since he wanted to do them, I was on board. Well, he hurt his wrist and now needs an operation next week and will be out of commission for about two months. No bouquet making and no coming to the wedding. sad! SO he arranged for the fancy florist who he apprenticed with here to do our flowers. I have a meeting with them scheduled for Sunday and I have NO IDEA what to tell them to make for me. I was leaving it all up to the Belgian!

So does anybody have any suggestions for flowers for a winter wedding bouquet? I don't even know what's in season or whatever.
