You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I just did ALL THE LAUNDRY* so I'm going to pack as I put away.

* okay, not all, but two megaloads and a small load. So enough to get me through Xmas.

msbelle, I'm so sorry. You deserve better.

I have finished my wrapping!

Ahahahaha. I haven't even finished shopping.

So sorry, msbelle. That is the suckiest thing you definitely didn't need on top of everything else. Job ~ma and coping ~ma and just hoping things get better.

I'm not done shopping, either. Feh.

Gah, msbelle. So sorry! A plague on their houses, a week before Christmas is Scrooge-worthy. One can only hope that karma will come back to haunt them. And that you will find a much better job to sneer (nicely) at them from, soon.

Ugh, msbelle, that just sucks. I hope something much, much better comes your way soon.

I have packed and am going to come home from work after a meeting that ends at noon and then I can change and take out trash and worry that I haven't packed the right clothes, etc. Now I just need to finish making this blessed wedding album for my parents. Too Many Pictures!

I'm done shopping except for some friend gifts. I hope to pick things up when we are in the midwest. They have good presents there, right?

I love the Bustle, What the Hell Were You Thinking Bustle, and OMG You Let the Bustle Come Back stages. Giant skirts! That you can possibly balance a tea tray on!

I'm taking the whole day off. And lisah, turns out I am leaving within 15 minutes of you. But the hassle with the different return dates is just not worth figuring out at the last minute.

A friend of mine is hoping to buy a house (down in TN) and sent me the inspection report. It's not bad, but her other friends are freaking out. So I sent her mine. Mine was so, so much worse (mostly roof related.) But it amuses me that we've gone from her talking me down during a meltdown buying a $2K car, to me talking her down to the tune of $110K...

See you at the airport, sara! Maybe we can get a glass of wine together if we have time.
