Yep. I figure it's past time for me to come down, so I'm taking friday off and driving down.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And I may or not be joining her, depending on if I can kick my life into shape by then.

If it works out better for you to leave later, I can do that too Juliana.

Compassionately intolerant
Now see, this is a reality show I'd actually watch. Might even get a tv for.
While I can completely understand the out-freaking Jilli, truth to tell, if there is anyone in the reality tv-verse who could manage the experience with grace and wisdom, it would be the Lady of the Manners.
Think of it as a extension of your natural public service. The show can reach farther and teach more than even your lovely website and great interviews.
No matter what happens, I wish you good luck and great choices.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Ms. H!!!
Dear me, today was a good day in Natter!

with a little note explaining that it's from the keyboard I wrote the book on, and that I'm passing on a piece of the good karma.

I skimmed to catch up (thanks for all the Spanish and French posts, BTW, made it easier to skim since I speak only English), but I don't think I missed anything about ita. Has she been released? Is she doing any better? Poor ita.
Jilli!! That is such exciting news! Just breathe, its all good.
Emily, what subject would that be? And is the appropriate comment "Congratulations," or "I'm sorry"?
Sincerely hoping that the New Yorkers aren't sending tornadoes our way! The weather today was quite miserable enough without tornadoes.
Three things happened today that made my day slightly less miserable than my average work day.
1. Because of the dreadful weather, DearFiancee was at home, and we managed to finally get to the town office to pick up a marriage license (it's surprisingly difficult for both of us to be able to go at the same time on a work day). So one more thing taken care of wedding wise.
2. A book I have been desperately awaiting, which came out yesterday, FINALLY arrived today from Amazon. Was so disappointed it didn't arrive yesterday. But yay! It's here!
3. Out of the complete blue, my company sent me a $100 Amazon gift certificate to thank me for working even harder than usual the last couple weeks. This is odd, because a.)my company is mostly evil these days, as I may have mentioned once or twice b.) while the last couple weeks have sucked, it hasn't been much different than the last 9 months have been, and they didn't send me random gifts during those many months. But nonetheless, appreciated, and downright decent of them. I feel kinda bad that it didn't stop my co-worker and I from bitching to each other via email. A $100 gift cert. does not make up for work sucking.

It is good that I can laugh at myself...
I am sitting here wearing my gym clothes and eating Ben and Jerry's (my favorite, Strawberry Cheesecake). This is especially pathetic because I haven't been to the gym in three weeks and am only wearing my gym clothes because I haven't got any clean pajamas.
This. Is. So. My. Life.
