Susan Sto-Helit -- the best place to start might be
Hogfather
which really deserves to be filmed and shown every ChristmasHogswatchnight....
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A while back I hired a Laura as a bookkeeper under the condition that she choose another name for work to keep vendors and customers from getting confused.
Hee! That's like my mother's old office where everyone was named David and all but one had to pick a new name...
Chris and I are eating almost exactly the same thing, if you take into account that we didn't grocery shop this weekend, and so are left with Kraft Macaroni and cheese, as we don't have the chicken, red peppers, feta, olives, tabbouleh, and greens.
Hee! Now I wish I had mac and cheese, though.

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
Susan in the Narnia Chronicles turned out to be lame -- but she really WAS screwed over by Lewis.

What is even happening?

Oooooh, trade ya! I do probably win the cheap lunch stakes, at least at a per serving cost, unless someone else is eating grass, or possibly PBJ.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
In addition to BK for lunch, I stopped by the library, paid my fine ($0.80) and got the next books in the Ian Rankin and Lawrence Block series that I am reading WHOOT. Then I went online and renewed Kitchen Confidential which I already have out to read for bookclub, but have yet to start AND requested a copy of the last Dana Stabenow in the Shugak series. AWESOME.
I must force myself to take a break from mysteries after I finish these.

I know a lot of really smart women named Susan IRL. Susan Lewis on ER was always pretty cool, too. ETA: No, msbelle, read Pelecanos next.(/Pelecanos likes Greek carrots)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today is one of those rare days that I drove to work, so I think I'll take advantage of it and drive to downtown Evanston and get some General Tso's scallops. With hot and sour soup.
I am anticipating the nummy....

Up with the sun
I had leftover shrimp fried rice for lunch. It's actually a second-generation leftover, as the rice came with Chinese food I ordered on Wednesday and turned it into fried rice yesterday.
Also, strawberry yogurt, which was not leftover from anything.

I've not eaten yet, but we're on Between Paychecks rations. Optimistic, nsm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Everyone's lunches sound so good. I had LeanCuisine Lasagna with Chicken Scallopini, which was okay but takes 10 minutes to heat up (no big deal at home, but I felt like I needed to apologize to everyone I share the microwave with for having such a slow lunch today), and am in the process of having some salad, and will finish off with strawberry yogurt. It is, oddly, way more food than I eat when I am not dieting.
