(Y'all, I'm a frustrated failed foster. BARCS gonna be getting a lot of donations and emails from me until I know Andy gets a home. I mean, I give them money annually, but they're getting bonus. I hated giving up.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It didn't sound like you had a choice though, sarameg. Too much cat drama.

I'm sorry things are so hard with your dad, Consuela.

Ted Cruz bothers me more than Donald Trump. Why people, why?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not only did I have a dream this morning that my alarm hadn't gone off for my 6:30 call, I also dreamed that when I got downstairs, my coworker had broken into my house to take the call.

You officially have too many early morning calls, Dana.

Kitty! Find him and take him home, people who belong to Andy (or who should, I suppose, but it sure sounds like he os apt to have people looking for him - he's easy to find now!)

Taking my NyQuil at 9 instead of 6 let's me do more in the evening but I don't sleep as well. Hm.

I guess I can't use "it's too early in the process" as an excuse for not paying attention to presidential campaign shenanigans anymore. Rats. That was a good one.

I don't know, -t, I think it's still too early in the process. The CA primary isn't until June, right? I think you can legitimately ignore until the end of May.

Awesome, I will take that line of reasoning!

How did I forget today is Groundhog Day? I should rig up an alarm that plays "I Got You, Babe" to wake me up next year.

I don't know, -t, I think it's still too early in the process.

Yesterday I had to reassure a Canadian friend that we weren't picking our presidential candidates that day. It's just Iowa, y'all! Rick Santorum won Iowa in 2012.

I am en route to work. I gave myself 2.5 hours to get there before my first meeting because traffic and rain. Ugh.

True. But I will enjoy it a bit, for giving Trump a smack in the face.

Thrive to spite them

Lee maybe because if Trump weren't in the race Cruz would look super radical and slimy and his lying would get more attentuon. And his propoganda ads would be creepier. Instead it's like oh Cruz is almost moderate compared to Trump.

Sometimes it feels like Trump has run and taken over the media to deflect from the others.

According to Cruz he single handedly took on the UN and won! He foiled Obamacare...singlehandedly. He's the only one to take a tough stance to try and protect our borders from ISIS and illegal immigrants. No one else cares. He single handled made sure the 10 Commandments stayed somewhere they probably shouldn't have been.

That's what his ads say. It must be true. It's lies and outrageous but next to Trump it doesn't seem so bad.

The Rubio ads I've seen are much more low key.
