My MIL is taking us out to dinner tonight as an early birthday thing. My birthday is next week, but she'll be on a trip then. Whee.

Dear Postal Worker,
if I needed an unsolicited lecture on how I need to deal with my mail in a timely manner, I would have asked my mother. As it is, you're the reason people talk about going postal.
Thanks and piss off,
Kat

Neat! I didn't know about the Ewan-relatedness, either.

I love this blog post, if only for the title -- Anything An Octopus Can Do, A Parrot Can Do Better.
