She says nobody makes cream of wheat like I do.

This is just about the most endearingly domestic expression of big-hearted love I have ever heard. I have a huge goopy smile on my face just reading it.

If Fay doesn't come by sometime and read that post of yours and say "Bless," I'll eat (one of) my hat(s).

Yeah...well, I know vegans don't eat jello, but many of them seem to live on air and righteousness anyway so...but I guess a vegetarian might eat it, in theory. I washed out on being totally veg, but have reduced my meat intake a lot. Maybe I eat it one time a day, instead of two. Sometimes I don't have any. It might not make a big difference, but it's something I can do, right?

This is just too sucky of a day for bitches. I am clearly overwhelmed with good ~ma today, as I really needed an extra day off, and actually got a snow day! Whoot! I'm happy to have this for myself, but even happier to realize that this means that I have plenty of ~ma to share! So, lots of ~ma to all who need it, especially Sean and S; Teppy and your father; and Matilda (for an especially short and non-bothersome cold).

Clearly, while giving away ~ma, I have bogarted all the !!!! Wheeeee!!!!!!!!!

Snow Day! I feel like I'm about 12! And it wasn't even like "you can come in late' or "non-essential personnel" so that you have to agonize over how essential you are. Just "Stay Home!!"

Word is, KO *may be* in our airspace today...I'm carless and in my sweatpants, anyway...wearing that laundry-day bra. If he met me today, he'd totally think our team lost, and I suppose the leather pants wouldn't work on two sports guys. I understand there's no swooning in baseball. (Waves at Keith and Danny, just to lighten shit up)) Danny would kill me if I tried anything.

after I read your message - I went to spend 5 minutes cleaning out my car - and there was my phone. so the ma is working.

also matt's new text message seem to make it clear that he is in a new place.

so I am calmer.

I'm so glad that the day has improved a bit, beth. I just lost my mouse (not literally, every now and then it freezes up until I reboot), but found phone and good text message are much more important than a working mouse, so yeah!!

((((Steph)))). So sorry you are under so much stress. I was actually thinking of advising y'all to start a splinter group...nevermind.

Does anyone want to compose an apologetic email to a friend who I was a total tool to last night because I was teee-rashed? I'm pretty sure it'll be fine, but I'm having anxiety attacks just thinking about it.

Dear [friend],

I am so sorry about last night. I was a total tool because I was trashed, but I know that's no excuse. I hope you can forgive me.

Love, DJ

Dear [DJ's friend],

Dude. I tried to break the land speed record and post a personal best for inebriation last night. Apparently this required me to be a complete tool jackass to you. I hope you can respect my attempt to set a new record, and (more importantly) forgive my shit-faced, stupid-ass trespasses. You're a good friend and deserve the better part of my friendship. I'm sorry.

Love,

DJ

Thanks Kristin! That's pretty much what I said, except I think I said I was a total jackass instead of too.

I feel like I was more jackassy than tooly.

ETA: Hec too!
