Oh, I'm not supposed to drink at all because of my cholesterol meds, Laura. I'll break the doctor's orders for one glass of dessert wine to mark the occasion, but there will be no tipsiness from that, let alone a repeat of last year's rusty nail/absinthe/goldschläger liver mangling.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm actually driving to Racine for a super swanky dinner party tonight. In fact, I need to shower and put on clothes and leave v. soon for that party. I made crab cheesecake and shrimp phyllo cups. I was designated the fish course. Seafood works, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm at the alltel place trying to sort my billing issues. Looks like they are giving me new numbers. WTF. They gave me prepaid numbers and now they need to remedy that so I can get any sort of customer service. Feh.

Scatterbrained packing question: my quart bag in my carry-on? Zip TOP or is zipLOCK okay? Guess which ones we have at the house.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
TSA says zip-top, but I'm guessing zip-lock is fine. I've used ziplock and been fine.

Our wings are not tired.
No problem, Jilli.
Reading menus is making me hungry.
Just be careful out there and keep watch for the wackos. That would be a daily request.
This time of year we have way more than our fair share of bad tourist drivers. I dislike any driving right now.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm going to a friend's party in the suburbs tonight and trying not to be bitter that he met some girl at the gym over the summer and now they are engaged.
And then going to see this guy:
to ring in the New Year.
And not drinking ALL the champagne like last year and so not being super hung over for my friends' New Year's Day brunch tomorrow.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Jilli, don't worry -- "zip-top" is just genericspeak for Ziplock. You hear it all the time on the Food Network too.

How long have you had the cold, Shrift? Having very recently recovered from the Death Cold I can promise that it does end.
I'm on day six.
Just so you know, it happens again sometime between 35 and 40.
Christ. I did not need to know that. I would cry emo tears, but my eyes are already red and swollen from being Sneezy McAchoopants.
I have grand plans for NYE. They involve me and my bed and not going anywhere, and probably no drinking at all. I am so lame.
