We had a few chilly days and everyone had fun digging out their pretty sweaters. Floridians tend to wear bulky sweaters while staying bare toed in sandals. I thought it was silly when I moved here, but now I find I do it too.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

It's only 70odd here, GC. I wish it were hot.
Seriously. But I'm not going to sit next to you again. You're too violent. Anyway, GC, that's what air conditioners are for-- wearing sweaters, or maybe lighting up the fireplace.
Hi, Laura!
Good-bye, Johnny Carson. You always made me smile.

Hi Alibelle!
Woo! Go Eagles. I'm good with either NE or Pittsburgh, but I wanted the Eagles to be there. (Not really a football fan, but live with several)

I was hoping to find pie at Walgreen's, alas, no pie. I did find skinny cow icecream sandwiches though.

Me, too! In the sense that I could care less, but there's some sort of campus-wide love sickness for that game.
Although, I did ask Winston Justice-- I think that's his name, why winning athletes get rings, and he didn't know. Someone else proposed that jewelry is more portable than a trophy, and I said getting a house would be cooler. Or maybe a car. Because then people could see it from a distance, or go inside it, if you invited them. And Winston just pleasantly agreed.

Well, my cake wasn't as impressive as it could have been, since I'm pretty sure I saw the exact same one at Starbucks,
And yet, it was $2.10 as opposed to Starbucks $4.50. So that's something.
Allyson deserves a kiss for giving me a good reason to buy a die cut machine, a thing I've wanted since I became a teacher.

Grr. I've been dying to paint my fugly kitchen for ages now. I went out this afternoon and finally got the paint I wanted, a dark teal. Got everything all taped up and ready to go, popped the can and...
What they gave me was a bright sky blue. And of course, by the time I got back to the store, they were closed. Fuckers.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Out of the 17 files I needed to work on today, two of them weren't anywhere I could find them, and two of them were exactly where they were supposed to be, but didn't have anything in them, even though they were supposed to. I predict shit will be hitting the fan, come Monday morning.
On the upside, a) this is not my fault; b) I have very workable plans for dealing with it if we can't find the files or their contents; c) I get to go home about an hour earlier than expected; and d) I may stop and get pie.
PIE!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Is winter over yet?
Only 26 days until pitchers and catchers report.

Quite true.
Yay going home early, Lee! You're doing much better than I am. I bought the play I have to read, instead of just reading it, since I didn't feel like doing that, and since then I've accomplished exactly nothing but catching up here, and on recaps at TVwithoutpity. So I'm very impressed with you.
