Krav stuff should be made to last, right?
And nothing, but nothing, is cuter than wee boxing gloves. (Except for Casper and all other Buffista babies.)
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I leave Friday, though. And I'll be at the krav centre three times between now and then ... yeah, I'm that aunt.

In Hebrew there's a slang expression called "teaspoon state" to describe just that. It's when the sight of a teaspoon or the pronunciation of the word are considered hillarious. Usually it involves late hours of the night and the like, of course.
I LOVE this phrase. In high school we called it "Denny's Time", since most of our teaspoon states occured in that 24-hour eatery known as Denny's, but teaspoon state is just so much better.
In those post college years my friends and I were hanging out in Denny's and the like, we referred to this state as "Stop-sign syndrome."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Had I the ability, I'd go on Cafe Press and make up fake college garb for "Teaspoon State" and we could all wear it and giggle.

The weather is gorgeous. The rest of today blows like the answer in the wind, my friends, but the sunshine, she is gorgeous.
I'm eavesdropping in on the COBRA conversation, since my husband is about a hair's length away from quitting his job in disgust.
Seriously? Wow. I mean, I guess I'm a masochist. Okay, I know I'm a masochist, and also avoidant, not to mention that I hate interviewing for jobs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
why won't these letters fold themselves?
They're taking after the cats that won't stack themselves?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I just e-mailed you with the full story.
I think I do okay with personal stress. I mean, during the days of my Idiot Coworker, I tormented the entire board with tales of her idiocy, but I only cried in my boss' office once, and I never actually threatened ICW personally. But I'm so bad with other people's stress. My husband's deeply unhappy with his job and my parents are worried about the family dog, who may be very ill, and it drives me insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor you, Dana. Second-hand stress is terrible, because there's so little you can do about it. Good luck to y'all.
