Hmm... I say no. A warrant is definitely not an invite from the resident.

(One reason I’m selfishly glad women’s sports aren’t more popular…I couldn’t easily afford things like the World Cup if it was men’s pricing!)

All of our tickets are for women's events!

Grace and I went with a friend to see Eileen Harris Norton's collection of art a gallery downtown. I'm sort of obsessed with Harris Norton. I love that she started collecting when she was still a teacher (she talks about going to May Company and how they had a museum on the third floor. She bought a print from Ruth Waddy. I'm blown away with how many beautiful pieces she owns.

Surely they must have answered that question at some point on Forever Knight?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I don't think they had the invitation trope on Forever Knight. The weekly murderous vampire usually wasn't killing people out on the streets.

Our wings are not tired.

I finally did my corporate tax return today. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle the personal. Also, my MIL moved back into her place today, and SIL still hasn't murdered her. She's always said she could never live with her kids, and we all believe it now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Still not as horrifying as the spam lamb on M*A*S*H.

I shrieked at that thing!

That is so fucking awesome! The closest I came to that was the year I made a red velvet lamb cake frosted white, so no one expected red cake. But the jam in this one is fabulous!

I didn’t make a lamb cake this year because I was too lazy to deal with the frosting. Instead I made the cake known as “cinnamon roll cake,” which is so fucking good: [link]

We have leftovers and I plan to eat some for breakfast (I started prednisone for the weird arm/hand nerve pain, and the steroid munchies are no joke).

Hello. Still alive, still tired, still seething at the government.
