Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Come over, Jesse, and I'll make you one. Just take the day off!

I was veryvery close to taking today off, I tell you what. But alas, I'm here now. At work. With work to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are you about to lose control, and if so, do you think you like it?

and now I wish you would have. you could have swung past Baltimore and picked up sarameg and we could have all had yummy grilled cheese sandwiches and, oh I don't know, gone to the beach. It's supposed to be warm today, 68 or so. OH! and then had lunch with ita.

This damned thread just made me eat half my lunch because I got so freaking hungry.

It'll be all your faults when my stomach starts growling at the department meeting late this afternoon.

OK, work. That thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We had toaster waffles. We are sadly lacking in ham & cheese sandwiches.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(Jessica, have you started wearing maternity clothes yet?)

Yep, just the past couple of weeks. I have 3 pairs of maternity pants from Old Navy, all supposedly the same size, each with a completely different waistline. C'est la vie.

My understanding is it's because they cut huge stacks of fabric at once, which means the top one and the bottom one on the pile are wildly different sizes.

That would explain a LOT.

But LOTS of places must do this with less wildly disparate sizing.

Jessica, are they all the same style? Because I've noticed that the sizing also varies hugely style to style.

My guess is the cheaper the place, the taller the stack of fabric, the greater the sizing disparity. But I only know this from pulling it out of my ass.

Art Crawl!!!

But Jesse, it sounds TOTALLY right.

Why must it be Monday? I need BSG to be on the night before a morning when I can sleep in.
