blahghhh. we just pulled the most horrible disgusting tick off of our 14 year old dog. It must have been there for ages, just under her leg. I can't believe I didn't notice it before tonight. I can't believe the tech who clipped her nails last week didn't notice it. I think I got all out, but man that was gross and now DH and I are all creepy crawly and creeped out. We have the offender locked in two ziploc plastic baggies for identification and then, I hope, destruction. I want to take her to the vet tomorrow just to make sure she's ok. I am chained to my desk tomorrow. This is of the suck.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Usually I'm squeeriffic over Zooey Deschanel but for some reason I'm not really digging her in this role.
Cow eyes. That's my thinking on this. Particularly the very last scene, where her reaction shot is like, "uh. Moo?"

hope it is one of the harmless ticks, Sox.
I'm recording Tin Man, no idea when I will get around to watching it. I really want to like it.
Someone from PG&E is supposed to come hook up my gas line so I can use my new dryer. They told me they'd come between 8 am and 8 pm today, so I have been faithfully waiting but I don't know if I can make this last 45 minutes. If no one shows I think I will cry. I just want to do my laundry. And leave the house. Not necessarily in that order.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
In my experience whenever a service tech is supposed to be at my house between x and y they don't show up more than 5 minutes before y.

I just had someone from PG&E a couple of weeks ago to light all my pilots and he showed up right in the middle of the service window. Bastards, falsely building my trust.
I know that the minute I go out someone would show up, they won't get me that way.

Except for the one time out of seven they show up twenty minutes before x.

{{{-t}}} I hate being stuck in waiting for people.

This is true, unless I count on the fact that they won't be there much before y and am not quite dressed yet. In those cases they always show up at 5 minutes past x.

it's still normal to feel a stabby pain when he writes about things he's doing with his new girlfriend, right?
As Trudy said--totally normal. Emotions not about logic.
I. LOVE. HER.
Aww, yay, Kristin! That's awesome!

It's not so bad, I got some quality unpacking done. I'm just preemptively annoyed at the notion that no one will show up in the next 20 minutes and I still won't be able to do laundry and I'll have to make another appointment. But I shouldn't assume that. Y'all are right, 7:55 is the rational time to pin my hopes on.

my never-quite-enough-boyfriend-to-be-an-ex roommate is my bestest friend and I love him and I'm really happy for him that he had a whirlwind romance while on vacation in Hawaii and she's coming to visit over New Years and all the sudden there's a girl at work who likes him too but also I kinda miss when he was all broken hearted and melancholy 'cause we could have sex once in a while. And I am really excited to meet Hawaii girl 'cause she seems really cool but also I kinda want to poke her in the eye.
IOW yeah, totally normal.
