Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'd wear the black pants.

Not so much with the snowpocalypse here. Still, a good several inches. We made it to DH's company party and I'm really, really hoping we win one of the dozen Wiis they were giving away as door prizes.

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

Tonight I went out with a friend who was in town. I ended up chatting with a lady, a little bit older than me, who had come to the bar with a friend of the out-of-towner. We agreed about the violence in today's movies, then I found that she might have different tastes from me (incidentally, she loved Lars and the Real Girl, scrappy). Then, conversation turned to my engagement. Marriage was for the birds, she said; not getting pre-nuptial was a mistake. She and I went on for nearly a half hour about whether or not I should get married. I assured her that I was not convinced by her experience with divorce and battles with her ex.

And around the time she departed and I invited her to our wedding and our 30th anniversary, I found out she used to be married to Jack Welch: [link] and maybe she might know what she was talking about.

That is something that only happens in New York.

$35,000 a month was inadequate? WTF?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

* If we repeat it often enough, it's a fact, right?
Lies! Lies! I did not summon the Snow Demons.
I was being truthy?

and maybe she might know what she was talking about.
Wow. Yeah. What a strange conversation to have with her.

35,000 a month was inadequate? WTF?
I mean, the numbers involved boggle me, but given their net worth...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'll volunteer to try to get along on that. But then I'd need a larger house to have adequate room for the staff....

not your mom's socks.

The parking was such a clusterfuck.

omg yes.

I forgot about the Reisterstown road one. Sigh: Bibelot.

Hope it was nothing like gunshots.

Susan, Royal Blue + Black Pants is perfectly acceptable. Unless you wanted to go with something from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?

Sparky DH doesn't eat anything with more than -what is it- two ingredients or anything where something actually touches something else. Plus, I believe, it must be beige. And not too mushy. Soup is out. So are frittatas. Mashed potatoes are ok. As long as you don't put anything creepy in it, like garlic and rosemary. Or tell him that you have. I make him sit on the stoop. I like to try to feed him anyway. We like him and don't want him to waste away. We have emergency S-DH bags of TJs for when he might visit our house. Because we likes it when they visit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is something that only happens in New York.

Good one!

It snowed here! And it's 19 degrees out. I guess that makes it winter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A trial could have been embarrassing because Mr. Welch had become involved with Suzy Wetlaufer, the former editor of the Harvard Business Review, during his marriage, and details of the relationship might have surfaced in court.

Suzy now has a whole Mrs. Jack Welsh career.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have some errands to run this afternoon, and then we go see Avenue Q tonight. Yay!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am on my way to Minneapolis in a few minutes, minus any gloves. I distinctly remember unpacking them when we moved and putting them away in the perfect place, but have no idea what that place IS. Oh well, I know they sell those things in the Minneapolis airport for doofuses like me.
