40 is when I start wearing long sleeves. Most people don't have the advantage of chemically induced hot flashes, though.
Dear recipe people:
I had enough batter for two 2"x12" rolls, not one. I bet it will make fewer cookies than you say, though.
Physics is different in recipeland.
I went out in a t-shirt and my new favorite sweatshirt--my sister got me a really good one from our alma mater, with a kangaroo pocket and hood & everything. It's perfect for huddling in when I have a cold, but doesn't pick up dog hair the way fleece does.
I think it's probably 55 out, and sunny. Nice day.
I spent too much at the grocery store, including buying a big box of Cheerios, and organic applesauce, and lots of oranges and apples, but at least I didn't buy any juice boxes or Spaghetti-Os...
And now I can crash back into bed for the afternoon, or catch up on my Tivo.
ARGH. Plumber is here, can't figure out what's wrong with the water heater, says it's a fancy one that costs like, $2500. Seriously?!? What is so fancy about it, I don't know (but am going to ask), since the most priciest one at, say, Home Depot, is like, $1500.
Dear sweet blessed mother . . . I've avoided the damned Grandma Got Run Over song all year, and what do I hear when I call a customer and the Verizon voice chirps "Please enjoy this tune while we dial the customer"? That. Damned. Song.
edit: What the hell is wrong with listening to the phone ringing!!
Send help, I have fallen into the THIS IS NOT VICTORIAN snark Tumblr and can't get out.
"GIRL, YOUR FLANNEL IS NOT VICTORIAN".
Do you think people (mis)use "Victorian" as a synonym for "fancy, especially fancy with lace and/or ruffles and sort of old-fashioned looking and maybe poofy"? I'm starting to think that's the reasoning behind the misuse.
Although that *really* doesn't explain the flannel.

I think most people don't know anything about historical eras and that's the nearest Olden Type one. I doubt any of those people know what baroque is except possibly as a very fruity kind of classical music.
I'm sorry, msbelle. Hope you can find something soon.
Awww, fuck 'em, msbelle!
Bad timing though. I'm sorry. That really sucks hard.
However, I would like to emphasize: Fuck them!
silver lining silver lining silver lining
Ah, jeez, msbelle. Hope you find just the right thing for you.
