Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Did you by chance cut one finger off your glove in case he did it outside?

HOLY SHIT I AM TOTALLY DOING THIS. (Because, according to Movie Logic, then he will propose.)

Which is to say, I guess, that Teppy should star in Glee.

I may do this less.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Did you by chance cut one finger off your glove in case he did it outside?

If you are thinking about doing this, I learned from reading etiquette books that the done thing is to cut slits into the sides of the finger. I think they were talking about kid gloves, but it should still work for keeping-your-hands-warm gloves.

I vote yes on the yellow slipcover, despite the perfectly reasonable arguments against.

I'm pretty sure I'm one Kate Hudson away from the plot of a bad movie.

Hah. And the Glee thing could only help--the show, that is. Because it has seriously sucked lately.

I hear ya, though--I was talking with a friend last night about the girl I've been seeing, and after confessing a number of issues of "OMG, why can't I just ask this but it's SO HARD", he was like "Wow, I feel like a really bad friend because I've known you for four years, and I had no idea you were insecure at all!" Which, HAH. Of course I am. But...yeah. Dating/relationships/etc are HARD. Even if just in your own paranoid/crazy/overthinking head. Boo.

Aw, Steph. Being one Kate Hudson away is still at least ONE away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's at least a couple more good holidays before the " hey, so are we gonna get married or what?!" convo seems necessary.

Good point. February 15, it is ON. Edit: I mean, considering how much input I have into the progression of your relationship, Steph.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

It's a hellish feedback loop of each of us trying to take care of the other.

No, you haven't described Pete and I AT ALL. Nope.

So lunch ended up being free. I had this free dinner for 2 coupon and I asked them if I could just use it for myself and they said no, but use this and handed me a free dinner for 1 coupon. Weird huh? So I still have the free dinner for 2 to use some other time. It's over by work and I always forget about it.

I got a large plastic "E" that had been used on marquees at the Antique store and some notecards for my brother and an old metal plant stand for outside. Then I went to a Thrift Store and found nothing, so I picked up E an hour early and we came home.

exercised, dinnered, and now I need to shower and layout stuff for tomorrow. 6 am is gonna come early.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I invested in a slipcover....and also 2 discounted king sized sheets that hang out on the sofa whenever I'm not there (so the cats shed all over the easily laundered sheets and not the much more difficult to launder slipcover.)
