To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Happy Birthday, MM!

ur CFO had an aneurism over the weekend. She's in the hospital, out for at least a month, apparently. Our COO is still out dealing with the death of her father. Yikes.

Ouch, that's tough, Jesse. Good luck to your organization!! Eesh. Here's hoping not too much of the stress ends up on YOU!

I love that I can make a "Chess" reference here and people will not only get it; they'll RUN with it.

Heh. Wish I'd been around earlier!! Stage managing our production of that was hellish, but there were good points. Still fun to belt out "Nobody's Side" on occasion

We get pancakes one day a year here.

...Ireland hates brunch? And by extension, weekends? I must rethink everything I ever knew about the country. Even if they are good with oatmeal. Damn.

Does this wedding cake indicate a BRIDEZILLA???

That is super super weird. Also, I pity the groom. And wonder.

I assume everyone's going to the ST:TNG place with that and it's not just me?

Hah! I forgot until you said that, but I am NOW!

Dutch Baby! My mom used to make those on special brunch occasions, but hasn't in years now. Hmm.....

OK, I know I hate to get up and go to work in the morning, but I just half-heard a news report about a little boy (10?) who glued his hand to his bed so he wouldn't have to go back to school after the winter holiday. Industrial glue. Took a while to get him loose.

... I just faked a stomach ache.

ah, progress.

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

I'm putting together a scrapbook of the aquarium visit for my mom. Good times.

I'm supposed to hang out with an ex boyfriend tomorrow who still gives me that horrible regret feeling, and I feel like the fattest old piece of hag on the planet.

I mean. Ick. Serious ick. Why can't I have a real life photoshop filter and crop tool?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The worst part is that after they got him loose they made him go to school!

I better not let Emmett see about the industrial glue trick.

Though he only had a half day today because he went home with his earache.

I've had a Dutch baby! My sister made it for me. I think she made it for me maybe...three times. Very tasty though.

all my sister ever made for me was a dutch oven.

Wow, y'all are maddeningly, impressively prolifict. I get buisy for a few days and when I come back there's like 1250 new Natter. How do I find out what the highlights are?

Our wings are not tired.

Bobby would try the glue thing. They don't quite appreciate that my getting up a 6ish and hauling their butts out of bed and driving them to school isn't a picnic either. Rethinks the home school thing. Nope, not a good plan either.

Well, today is not Monday (so far). So it's got that going for it.

Pretty much the only thing it does have going for it so far, aside from the nice warm weather. Guess this would be the January thaw.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today sucks so much worse than Monday, since I got a total of about four hours of sleep last night.
