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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, brenda, that just sucks. All mentally prepared and taped up and no go.

I made chicken stew today that was so very yummy. And corn bread.

And, I went out to clean all the snow off my car and shovel it out if necessary. To my great surprise, it was completely clean. I didn't get home till 5:45 last night and we didn't get any more snow since then. Yay!

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

I'm still full from brunch. That's saying something. Still, I think ita should bring me pie later.

I think ita should bring everyone pie. We could call her Santa Pie.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I like "ita Pie," because it's funny when you say it out loud.

Haha. I'd be happy enough just calling her ita-pie.

As in, "ita-pie, sweetie, would you be a dear and bring everyone some dessert later?"

It makes me sound like a grandmother, but it's worth it.

ETA: FUNNY x-post with Steph.
