All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am not.
I just forgot to add that I would dearly love to buy one of those signs, especially the last one.
It's ita's fault, somehow.

Oh lord. Just got off the phone with ex-boss. She's selling her condo (we weren't talking about that, it's very not my style, though gorgeous). Some people were coming to view at a time when she couldn't so her boyfriend, a fabulous pastry chef, was going to let them in and out.
But he showed up dressed all scruffy, so she made him pretend to be the handyman! The non-english speaking handyman. She is something else, all right. He was fine with it - in addtion playing along and not saying more than bonjour (he does have a very thick accent), he put on headphones to make it seem like he couldn't hear anyway, and busied himself with a project.
Of course, in addition to listening in on what the viewers (father buying a place for his daughter) said, he put out a plate of his own chocolates so he could hear their reaction to thoseas well.

That's just a French farce movie waiting to happen, that is.

Totally. Her life is kind of that.
(Oh, and they lost the apartment. When she moved in she had a gorgeous gas fireplace put in, which really makes the whole place. The father was all "What a waste of space. You could put a cabinet there."
Let that be a warning to other prospective househunters. 'Ware the hot French handyman, 'ware!)

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
In fact, if you SEE the hot french handyman call me right away.

I'd not be worrying about minor design flaws if I thought a prospective place came with a hot French handyman.

So I finally got a gmail account so I could freaking send mail from my mailer on this computer. My stupid isp couldn't give me the right configs for outgoing mail. It's only been a year (I can use their webmail interface, but I kinda hate it.) I'll keep the isp email account, but still. WHY MUST THEY BE DIFFICULT?
And OWOWOWOWOWOW! I just stood up from the balance ball. Which stuck to the back of my legs. OW. Time to toss a dishtowel over it.

Yeah, sadly, she's keeping him. Though I'm not entirely sure whether a comment about getting rid of him would have elicited near the reaction that dissing the fireplace did.
Her other prospect lives in a townhouse across the street and wants her place for an office and for socializing. People=crazy.
