You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Green tea is good for me, right? I'm trying to convince my stomach it's a good substitute for eating lunch at 10:15.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

"We?" Do you mean, "me"? Because if it's me, it'll take a little bit longer than if we are ALL working on this project. So let us be clear that we is me.

Man, my incompetent!boss does this all the time. "We need to make a PDF of such-and-such article...."

And I say, "*We*? Did you get new software for your computer that will allow you to open Quark XPress files? Because if you didn't, then I think you mean 'Steph' instead of 'we'."

It's not diplomatic to use "we" in that situation; it's passive-aggressive.

I love tea, and drink huge vats of it every day, but I can't drink it on an empty stomach.

Oh Fred, I'm sending vibes out for Teddy!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Definitely, Kat, especially if time has passed between the two.

What are you having for lunch Dana? Maybe it could be elevensies?

Green tea is practically a vegetable. Eta: full of anti-oxidants.

I can't drink it on an empty stomach.

I had breakfast, theoretically. (Two Eggo waffles with butter-like substance.) But I'm still starving.

Around 11 is normally when I eat lunch. I have whole-wheat couscous with ground beef, broccoli, almonds, dried cranberries, feta, and basil.

I like to dissolve a stock cube in a mug of hot water when I'm hungry but trying not to eat. Of course, if you don't have a stock cube, go tea! Choose tea!
