Now tagless for your comfort.

I flew Northwest to Cleveland recently. Aside from getting stuck in Cleveland from the weather, the entire trip went very well. They were nice enough in the face of travel disaster and airport shutdowns.

Why on earth would she go out to dinner with her ex-husband and his current wife and their son? Granted, her two children were there, but there's plenty of other time for her to see them.

My stepfather's ex-wife stayed at the house with him and my mom during some holiday event. I mean, the whole family was there but still. Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mostly I thought it was weird that that was the first thing my mother and grandmother asked about. Especially given the relationships. Meh.

I think there is a negative gravity shield that is built in to sofas. They are impossible to break free from.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Ah, that explains why I have spent most of the weekend on the sofa and could never force myself to grade papers. Instead I have been on the computer and reading a book.

Darn the law of sofa...

Do not forget the Law of the Comfy Chair.

It draws you in much like the sofa, but allows you a false sense of accomplishment because you are sitting up instead of lying down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus if you're not careful in your comfy chair, before you know it you can have a cat sitting on your lap, and then you're doubly-screwed....

Craigslist ad for a psychic: reading,s by chanel

Location: planet,,earth,universe.???

You'd need a psychic (or a shrink) to figure out just what is going on in this ad. Although my guess would be "drugs."

Yeah if we were playing Family Feud and you guessed drugs I'm pretty sure it'd be the first choice. Coincidently all the other choices would be drugs as well. Heh, go figure.
