Ailleann -- I just learned 'aubade' but it hasn't come round yet.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

There are things I need to do before I get fired on Friday
Okay, see, no you don't. You don't even *officially* KNOW that you're getting fired on Friday. As far as your bosses (good and bad) are concerned, you think Friday is Just Another Workday.
I am petty and spiteful, but I don't think you need to do anything more than you would do on Just Another Workday.

Also? Oatmeal cookies go with raisins (and nuts). Tollhouse cookies get chocolate chips and walnuts. Chocolate does not go in oatmeal cookies!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
And I'm afraid it's a personal peeve of mine, but I must correct that the store's name is IKEA, all caps, and it doesn't stand for anything.
According to their corporate creation myth:
"The name IKEA comes from the initials of Ingvar Kamprad, I and K, plus the first letters of Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, which are the names of the farm and village where he grew up."

I love Ikea. I need to go there actually to get new glasses. The last time I was there I bought a ridiculous number of cheap yet sassy juice glasses, and we have managed to break all but 6 or 7 of them.
Emmett is just fabulous, right down to having two middle names. (DH has two middle names, too. One of them is David!)

Okay, okay -- it's not an acronym. You don't mean "Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd" when you say IKEA.

Dude, we're probably related! Invite me to your anniversary party.

The best solution I ever heard to this was a couple who held a big bride's side vs. groom's side softball game on the morning of the wedding, loser takes winner's name.
Love this!
It helps that most Scandinavian-American family names were assigned at Ellis Island, and therefore don’t have much history attached to them.
I thought that was an urban legend.

Raisins, dates or dried cranberries go in oatmeal cookies. No chocolate. I like chocolate by itself or as something unabashedly chocolate, such as brownies. There should be no chocolate chips in muffins, bagels or bread.

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
have a money tree/bag/pin money on the bride (although this I might've liked),
A tradition I'd love to embrace -- but I'd need a groom of an appropriate ethnicity or it just looks greedy.
