I have chocolate milk. The world can rest.

I had weird dreams -- the sort that on waking seem like they should have been nightmares, but at the time, all the oddity was taken as perfectly normal. Which is having a hell of a lingering effect, as I become more and more disturbed at not having been disturbed.

Thanks, Gud! How are you?

Health: fine, Job: fine, Kids: great, Marriage: ugh. It's a mixed bag.

Oh sure, there's definitely whipped cream. Now I'm thinking you use melted butter to make the biscuits? I can just see melted butter and strawberries in my past and am trying to put it together.

Resetting the ita milk warning system back to green.

Now I want strawberry shortcake.

I can see lightly sauteeing strawberries in butter and eating them on some sort of cake or toast or something. Or, oh, setting them on fire, is that part of Strawberries Romanov?

Ali! My ass called you on Saturday. I guess it misses you a lot!

Aww. It's nice to be missed. I finally got the voice mail that went along with the call, and apparently your ass was watching commercials when it rang me up.

Perkins gets a pass because I suck so bad and am incapable of putting things in the mail. I don't know what my problem is.

The job I really want is at a big dance school in the city. They're looking for a receptionist, but from what I understand one of the big perks is the getting to dance, along with the job. So, thanks for the positive thoughts!

Also, in other positive news, I'm finally getting driving lessons, which will start in ten minutes, so I need to go run and get dressed. I'll be back soon!

Who would win in a fight? Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Bright?

Except it's thickened with guar gum and carrageenan. And cornstarch. 1% milk isn't supposed to feel like this. It's even worse than drinking skim.

Oh, that does sound like a good job, Alibelle! Renewed extra strength jobma.
