Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Allyson, I am so angry on your behalf. That's horrible.

In better news, thanks to msbelle's links my shopping is now done.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Allyson, when is the party? tonight? skip it. No one needs to spend leisure time with people who yell at them.

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

It's just reason 52895 to polish my resume. I'm unsure how to include the book.

Our wings are not tired

I want to see one to check out how freaky it actually is.

Uh huh, of course you do.

Include it at the top. In shiny lights.

Jilli's post made me realize I want to go somewhere extra yummy for my anniversary dinner next week. Especially considering that last year I spent my anniversary shopping for a bathroom sink and light fixtures at Home Depot with my DH's wacky, gun-toting uncle and then treating said uncle and others to a take-out dinner from Tito's Tacos.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Uh huh, of course you do.

Crap, you know me too well. Yeah, it's the number 1 gift on my Christmas List...

Liese, re: saladitos. Yep, exact same thing as the salty seeds. Not the variously flavored crack seed varieties, but plain old salty seed? Same thing. And they come in chili flavor, too! Also, way more available here than crack seed.

Right now I just want to get through one more week of work.

As always at this time of year I'm dealing with accounting offices and the like that never pay anything on time. Thankfully I've had enough big contracts pay on time that I'm not totally without cash, but it's pushing most of my Christmas shopping to the last minute. What is it with companies that just can't cut a check between Thanksgiving and New Years?

I'm just trying to get through the next week. Kids are getting crazy and everyone is getting short tempered.

I don't know why some places don't pay. The one good thing about my job is the direct deposit.

They are probably too busy having parties.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I like sour the way some of you like salt. I can in fact handle salt best with sour--we have some "Chinese sweeties" (we're so lyrical with our naming in Jamaica) that are shrunken soured plums with some salt on. Now that's good licking.
