Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Shoot, the place I planned to have lunch is only open for dinner on the weekends. Oh well, opens up my schedule, I guess.

Oh, that's right, in much of the country tomorrow's a holiday. In Utah, it's "Why didn't I get mail? Why was the bank closed?" day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My company should be closed imho but we are not.

I haven't worked for a company that closed on all the national holidays in decades.

I get Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Bad week has turned into a very bad weekend. I just hope next week is better.

I'm sorry, Gud.

Successfully got myself out to lunch! I will have to eat out every meal for the rest of the week to maximize my Restaurant Week menu sampling. Got it all planned out, we'll see if I can actually pull it off. Should also help with that whole having dishes to wash thing.

After a day spent on a Stephen King movie set, it's turned into a sunny, sparkly day.

Of course, it's going to snow tonight, into the commute in the morning. Why must it always snow during the commute?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Is it wrong that I think those Frugaltwerps are kinda cheating by deducting their mortgage payment from their monthly expenses?

Which okay, speaking of not frugal, I took a walk today with my son to go to a local cafe and pick up some fancy juices. Walk was nice, juice was delicious, but I always find the price tag a bit baffling. How can fresh pressed juices be so much money?! Although it's kind of worth it to get my son to go on a 45 minute walk.

Because people will pay that price for them.
