I'm in denial that I'm getting on a plane tomorrow. I'm half-assedly packed, house is kind of a disaster, I'm still planning on shoehorning in a swim in the morning. And I don't feel like doing anything more tonight. HAHAHA.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My, isn't this a pretty knife? I have one kind of like it. It doesn't have the clip, and it's a bit squarer.
Someone else get one? So I can live vicariously through them?
That clip doesn't look usable. The geometry is wrong.
I also have a knife of similar design: [link] . Is it the same as the one you have?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup, dcp, except not with the black. I likes. Pretty.

That's a nice one, dcp. I think I'd like it better with the blue highlights in pewter, though. I'm not a colouriffic chick.

Okay, I would like every Buffista (boys included) who wears dress shorts to 'fess up. Anyone who thinks they're appropriate evening wear, raise your virtual hand.
We'll have an intervention, and we'll save you.
Come on. You're not alone. We can help you.

I wore them... in 1980-something. I would not now. I was a preteen, that's the best excuse.

"formal" shorts is an oxymoron. By their very nature, shorts are casual. I don't care of they are made of mink (and thers no doubt in my mind that someone has tried that)', shorts cannot be formal

Now tagless for your comfort.
Parenting has been hard, wearying, smelly, boring and occasionally nauseating before, but we've totally been able to roll with it. Lately, though, it's just been the kind of no fun that drains your very soul, and I personally am utterly damned if I know what's prompting it or how to turn it around; I just know I'm fried, and it's actually fun to come in to work each morning. Working for a pure diva of a surgeon in a dysfunctional department--fun, and more restful than home! How wrong is that?
Jess is wise. It'll change soon enough.
I'm in a not-having-fun-as-a-parent stage myself. It seems like all I ever do is chase them down to make sure they have everything done--homework, teeth brushed, hair combed and have their gloves and hats. I swear I spend 10% of every day looking for shoes. And when I make a nice dinner I get lots of "I don't like that!" It's grueling and frustrating and makes you feel unappreciated.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, I would like every Buffista (boys included) who wears dress shorts to 'fess up.
Well, I have linen shorts that come to 2 inches above the knee that I've worn to a summer outdoor party in the "nice" part of town. But I don't think of them as "dress" shorts because, like Vortex said, shorts are by their nature casual. I do think of them as my "best" shorts, for the fanciest of the backyard BBQs. Where the beer is in bottles.
But an actual summer outdoor party that called for dressing nicely? Yeah, no shorts. I have sundresses for that.
