How wrong is it if I reschedule my career counseling appointment from tomorrow night because I don't feel like doing the homework tonight?
Don't be surprised if they come back with "fry cook" as your ideal career choice.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! I'm going back and forth between: am I committed to this or not, and I'm paying her good money, so I should get the most out of it.
Crap. Maybe I'll just buckle down.

Corwood, I am incredibly sorry for your family's loss.
Jesse cracks me up. Do your homework. Go the appointment.
my tummy hurts.

It's possible I'm not actually in the right frame of mind to be doing this.

Okay, and I just went to the TSA website, and WTF? Three-ounce bottles? So why the hell is Target only selling four-ounce bottles? Argh!
Take one with you, put it in the regulation quart sized bag, hope they don't notice that it's 4 ounces.

vodka in the pie crust? REALLY? Wow.
The theory is that you need to add liquid to pie crusts to make them malleable enough to roll out. But adding water increases the gluten, which makes the pie less flaky. But Vodka is 40% alcohol and 60% water, and the ethanol inhibits the production of gluten, so you get to add 40% more liquid without losing any flakiness, and making the pie easier to roll out.
However, it's one sticky pie crust, so I'm worried a piepocalypse is nigh.

Presumably, in lieu of the ice water. You could do it with any liquid, probably, and insert flavor into your crust thereby (as long as you could get the liquid to be cold). ETA:

Not that much! And really, my experience with crusts is that it's not the water content that makes the difference in the end, but the fat content and the relative temperature of that fat. Melty butter = rolling tragedy. /ETA
My Target does not sell wine. No Target that I know of in the state sells wine; and only three Trader Joes do. I live among the Puritans, and they never let me forget it!

In my travels, I've had at least one X-rayer stop my bag, open it, and scrutinize my deodorant (2.9 oz) on basis merely of seeing a large solid object in the quart-bag. (I know, it's not a liquid, but when everything else goes into the quart-bag, it becomes the de-facto toiletries bag.) So, I wouldn't bank on people letting 1 oz. slide.

Well, that's a theory. Let us know how it turns out, Sue!

Oh, and the alcohol is supposed to burn off in the baking and you shouldn't notice any change in taste.

I find this really fucking annoying.
Also, just talked to my parents. They want to fly out for Christmas on December 14th. And then fly home after New Year.
... isn't there some kind of rule about how long your parents are supposed to stay with you?
