These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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

Remembered what credit card I used to pay for my last prescription and tracked down the charge, woohoo! Finished my open enrollment elections. Did not think very hard about it, but i think I did when I first made the elections that I am mostly confirming? Whatever, it's fine.

ERP still inaccessible. Potluck starting in half an hour. This is a weird day.

I did my open enrollment, too. Sensibly, last year I'd already signed up for supplemental disability insurance and such, so when I decided to be sensible and add it this year, I didn't have to.

I wish the interest rates on general savings accounts made the idea of saving money in the bank more than barely a better idea than sticking your money in the mattress.

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

That's who I was thinking of, Sparky. He likes stuff like that.

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

We will be laser sharks together. Who don't do anything that costs, money probably.

Cash-hoarding laser sharks, that's us.

Ain't it the truth. Interest rates are laughable. I make more by picking up stuff at thrift stores and reselling it on eBay than I make in interest on my savings.

I've made several hundred dollars on eBay from Hubby's gaming stuff, and there's still piles of stuff left.

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

I felt extremely unsure whether I had any right to burden anyone with it

I'm so sorry JZ, what an awful time. Last year I was in a similar place for my friend as her father was dying and it does feel hard to know what to say, what not to say. But I think in the end people want to know, and for you to tell her with love is such a gift.

Oh, I also wanted to say thank you Lee for the update on juliana. Sending good vibes to all involved. It's hard work being born.

Yes! We should get leather jackets emblazoned with this. When we have saved enough.

Laser-mounted sharks swathed in money, on motorcycle jackets. We'll be the most obscure gang ever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Obscure...but AWESOME.
