I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well yeah but all calories are not equal, they do different things in the body.

Yeah, but I'm not arguing in favor of an all-Snickers diet, as long as it's 2000 calories' worth or less of Snickers. But a fun-sized Snickers when I've eaten 13 servings of fruit/veggies isn't a big concern to me.

I know some people are more strict with their food, but that way has -- for me -- traditionally led to obsessive behavior and eating disorders. So I eat the veggies AND the Snickers.

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

Aw, that's adorable. Glad the kitty tranqs seem to be working.

but all calories are not equal, they do different things in the body

Lordy yes. And different things in different bodies, too. My BFF and I are almost opposites in what we can and ideally should eat.

You know, I think DST is messing me up more this year because it's not as cold as I expect it to be when it starts getting dark so early. It's 75 F today! In November! It's just wrong. I should be snuggled up in a sweater, not in short sleeves with the window open.

Thrive to spite them

She finally conked out. I'm hoping she'll do that in the car, just get bored and sleepy and fall asleep. I also wish I could put her in a bigger carrier but that's not going to be possible.

an all-Snickers diet, as long as it's 2000 calories' worth or less of Snickers.

Didn't someone recently do that with Twinkies to prove a point?

It really depends what your goals are. If you want to lose weight and don't care about other factors you are going to want way different dietary parameters than if you want to lower your blood pressure but don't care what your weight is. Etc. People who talk about "eating healthy" as if there is just one way to do it bug me almost as much as that horrible "eating clean" phrase (which I consider utter nonsense. I'm sorry if anyone believes passionately in it, it seems to me to just be meaninglesss buzzwords that people attach to whatever their particular hobby horse is)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

To tie together Jesse's and Teppy's posts, our vending machine has recently been stocked with full size Take five bars, which I have been able to avoid, because I made sure some of the 30% off candy I bought on the 1st included fun size Take 5 bars.

ION, I am finally, after noon, getting to my usual first-thing-every-morning tasks. So that's five hours late. This day.

Presentation kind of sucked, but mostly got the information accross. Sigh. Did not help that the meeting started 10 and I have a hard deadline for one of my accounts of 10 am that I had to work to meet right up to meeting time. And no my tea is cold.

I am in the kind of mood where I think I probably would feel better after a good cry, but there isn't actually anything wrong, as such. Hard to deal with at the office where people would be concerned and want to know what is wrong.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm guessing I just reached that stage of post pregnancy that I heard about where your hair starts falling out. Fun.

Aw, that doesn't sound fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

our vending machine has recently been stocked with full size Take five bars,

!!!! Living the dream! (Now I have to go check my newly restocked vending machine...)

I'm guessing I just reached that stage of post pregnancy that I heard about where your hair starts falling out. Fun.

Is that because you got more hair during pregnancy and are just going back to baseline, or did I make that up?
