Kristen, I'm here in Chicagoland, as well! Let me know if she needs pickup and/or place to stay overnight--I'm about 20 minutes away from O'Hare and can be there pretty quick.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

This way, there's no driving home at midnight on NYE.
Thank god. I was worried about that. Yoiks. I can also go and get her to get her car because, actually easier for me as I'm closer. But whatever works.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That sucks, Kevin.
I had big plans to spend today and tomorrow doing massive amounts of laundry and cleaning my apartment, so that I started the New Year with things in order.
I only have enough quarters for 4 loads, and so far, the house cleaning is not so much happening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll let you know if we need to put a Rescue Allyson from O'Hare Plan into action.
Gotta love the buffistas.
I did so awesome at Ikea!! I'm not 100% sure what took so long in there, but I emerged unscathed with a new bed and dresser! OK, I won't actually have the bed and dresser until Friday, but I do have new under-bed storage boxes and dresser drawer organizer thingies already. Also a little gift for someone. Here's a clue: MONKEY MONKEY. And no candles!
I did not have the meatballs.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If you guys don't know about the Gaslight Club in the O'Hare Hilton you should check it out.

Thanks for the ping, Kristin. I'm a couple thousand posts behind.
No worries. I'm seldom caught up in Natter either and figured you might not see the plea for help. Having been the beneficiary of Buffista rescue-age myself, I like to do what I can to facilitate rescue for others.

Looks like we may be getting a nice storm rolling in in Chicago. Deliciously cool wind blowing into my overheated apartment like whoa.
Looks like Allyson has all sorts of contingency plans, but I'm around too in a pinch.

So, along with many other national leaders, the President didn't bother coming back to Washington for Pres. Ford's state funeral. Classy. [link]
