Ha! You guys make me laugh. Let me give a little more context.

My mom had sent me some food. And then she was all, you know, if you're not going to cook, you should get someone to cook for you. I thought she meant a friend of some sort. Someone to live with you, and cook for you. It actually took me a few seconds before I realized what she was getting at.

"You know what I'm talking about, right? I'm talking about a wife."
"What did I say [about not bringing up this marriage shit]?"

Then she said she was only teasing, and I still had time.

Okay, I thought maybe putting it in context might make her come off better, but no. That is really what she said.

Why can I not sleep? Sleep would be nice. I'm barely tired at all.

Sleep would be nice.

Yes. Yes it would. Tempted to just start getting ready for work and go in extremely early.

Hmm.

Hello all.

I just woke up. I intended to "nap" for a couple of hours and then continue to work on the massive pile o' grading. Yeah. NSM. I have to leave for work in two hours. This is not going to be pretty.

ETA: Oo. Pretty number! (Silver linings, people, silver linings.)

Hi Kristin! How's things?

Hey honey!

Well, I am really exhausted, I still have a full set of papers to do this morning, it's spitting cold rain outside, and my cat just peed on my bag.

I would say it's another typical March morning.

Wow, that sounds... awful, really. I would like to assure you that I am in no way stifling giggles at the thought of your incontinent cat, nosiree. Manly giggles. Let me make that perfectly clear.

I have to do my taxes. Joy! Oh, wait. Suck! Ah well.

My reasoning for the past few days has been the "I ate a salad for lunch, so now I can have cookies" type. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world.

You know what's been saving me from this mentality? Trans fats. Whereas you can always eat a bag of Doritos and tell yourself, "It'll be OK if I just balance it out by consuming no more sodium for the rest of the week," the line on trans fats is that they're never ok, in any quantity, so there's no way to make up for the Oatmeal Cream Pies and cheese curls I would otherwise eat. It really helps me stay away from all but the tastiest cakes and pastries.

Are you able to file from just one country this time, billytea? Seems like it's been a while since you moved.

Timelies!

Yup. I think that's all I've got for now. Got a bit to do list for the day. I should get going on it. But first, I'll finish this lovely cup of coffee.

Despite billytea's manly giggles at the plight of my incontinent cat, I adore him. I think he may have just hit on the first time I have ever seen someone successfully make a nickname out of being a resident of my state. (States named after Native American words = hard to abbreviate)

FTR, the cat is not incontinent. He's simply mad at me because I removed the second litter box and is demonstrating his displeasure. Little rat bastard.
