Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'd love to have breast reduction. My sister's ex-boyfriend had his eyes done and a chin implant. And I know someone who had reconstruction after a double mastectomy. But that's it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bad news: Bob Bob was at a conference in Halifax this weekend, and his plane back to Ann Arbor was canceled because of weather, and they didn't book him on another flight until tomorrow afternoon.

Good news: He was in Newark at the time! Unexpected Bob!

Freaky sidenote: I had made a bet with someone that there's no way Bob would unexpectedly show up in NYC between June 20 and the end of July (his next scheduled visit). I ...lose?

Here's another one: I learned that a couple I know are having fights about money. The problem is, he has a $500 a month "personal spending money" budget and regularly goes over. I don't know enough about their finances to know exactly what's in personal spending, but hers is $125 a month. They are a 2-income couple, both civic employees, with 2 kids.

That seems like a hell of a lot of "personal spending," right? I mean, that's an iPhone (admittedly a lame 4G one) a month!! I have no idea what he spends it on, but it's not anything like drugs or loose women, I'm pretty sure.

Huh? Why would his be so much higher than hers? That seems really weird.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That was my first reaction as well, Brenda.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought, too.

Psst... Jilli gets more money a month than I do. Honest.

She needs it for all her clothing addictions.

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

Maybe he requires a lot of salon appointments for haircuts, manicures and pedicures.

Hey! Okay, yeah, I do, but but but ... if you wanted to spend the same amount of money on books or CDs or video games, I've always said that would be totally fine.

My monthly spending is closer to the larger figure than the smaller one. Of course, I don't really cook for myself...
