I don't want to work anymore today. That means I can go home, right?
Oh please oh please oh please.

There are no spoons in the kitchen. I have to eat my yogurt with a fork. That's a metaphor for something.
Or perhaps a zen koan...Is it about the yogurt in your mouth, or is it the yogurt in the space between the tines, Grasshopper...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Of course, I'm wearing a black knit top (with a dark blue skirt, if you must know), so I had to hope that disintegrating paper towel marks are the lesser evil when compared to deodorant marks.

I have a sponge thingy that is designed to get rid of deoderant marks on fabric but actually gets rid of all kinds of marks and schmutz. It's like MAGIC, I swear.
ah! Here it is:

I just got back from gym shoe shopping--Famous Footwear is having a sale, so the two pairs I bought were already marked down to $50 each, and then it was buy 1, get the 2nd half-off, so I got a pair of Reeboks and a pair of Nikes for $81 after tax. Combine those with the bookstore shoes and suede flats for my sister's wedding I got in the mail this morning, I've bought four pair of shoes this week! In the whole of 2006, I bought two pair, and none since then. I still have to get some boots for winter, but I'll be set after that.

I was holding a baby. Now I smell like baby. Not really in a good way.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Straight-up pantyhose or other nylons will wipe off deodorant marks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Of course I'm chilling bare-legged today, because the universe has more fun that way.
For some reason the Container Store sells those de-deodorants.
I am so totally having a beef quesadilla for lunch. Of course, the time when I insisted I was having pizza I ended up with chicken quesadilla, the truth will have to wait until the end to be outed.

I could use a couple trophy friends, come to think of it.
I had a delicious lunch courtesy of the Whole Foods salad bar, which was Southwestern tangy chicken salad and some old-fashioned macaroni salad, with four small strawberries sprinkled with sugar afterwards. Yum! And I brought back the frozen-ready-to-bake apple pie to eat during Eureka tonight!
