Was shoveling at work and met a mom and her son coming in off the street with sleds. After exchanging pleasantries I told them I had bad news and good news: the bad being that sledding wasn't allowed, the good that I wouldn't stop them unless my ED spotted them and told me to. The snows deep enough not to harm the plants, and we really do have an awesome hill. Then bossman came back and was looking out the window and was all "what is that?!" And I thought he'd seen the sled tracks. But it was just footprints that he thought were deer tracks. Lying about not having seen the sled fees put off until another day!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

And many roots and the remnants of a plastic netting bag have been removed from my sewer. The water flows. My plan to move gains more reinforcement.

So apparently my mom needs to know her moms death date for some kind of documentation she needs. And she doesn't remember. So she asked me because I have some genealogy stuff. I had one person on ancestry but it was the wrong one because the date was all off. Finally found a different reference that seemed more right....and was able to double-check it against an old livejournal entry. How weird. (It was 2006. Mom wasn't even sure of the year, but eventually thought it out and decided fall 2006, because she retired in 2007...so that was where I looked)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Livejournal is excellent for that. I suppose Facebook would work, these days, although I don't know how to search that so well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
FYI, the Social Security Death Index is online and public. If there's a death certificate and you know basic information, you can find it. I verified my grandparents' death date that way.

Elle Fanning. Kate Hudson. Several Natalie Portmans. A man in a blazer scanned his phone, stumped. “You know, in ‘Sex & the City 2’? When they’re in Dubai? That butler?” asked Siddhartha Banthiya, an investment banker.
This was a part I found surprisingly on point, though. Of course this guy has to choose a speechless walk on part because he's INDIAN (I assume) because, Hollywood.
But that wasn't the point, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was rough. Luckily, that guy can console himself with money.

I should write a parody of the wedding article, but using my wedding, with the unexpected historical reenactors, banjo band, and invasion of stinkbugs.
