That's what I keep saying, but DH thinks I am a blind optimist.
If I'm not making it up entirely, I heard it on NPR, but I don't remember who was talking, so that person could have been a blind optimist rather than a news reporter.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it seems really unlikely that they wouldn't seat the Michigan and Florida delegates.

I have to say that between that and the Jesse Jackson thing, I'm having a hard time stomaching either Clinton this week.

Ahrg. They didn't get the part in time. So it will have to wait until tomorrow.
Rather than be out $40 in cab fare (that was a while ago,) I'm picking it up & dropping it off AGAIN.

annoying! That happened to me when I brough my car there too! And meant I had to arrange for friends to take me and pick me up from work. Speaking of...if you wanted a ride from the mechanic's to work tomorrow I can do that for you without hardly going out of my way at all.

Tonight is dance practice, so I'm not watching anything on tv. (Even if I were at home tonight, I wouldn't watch the SoTU speech)

Good luck with the car, sarameg. I hate having car repair issues (knock on wood, so far I've been lucky with my 2-year-old Civic).
Speaking of, I was just doing a general budget (estimated income and fixed/estimated outgo) for the next few years, trying to figure how much I can put into savings and how much I can add to my car payment, and figured that, if I keep my B&N gig and my full-time job, and if expenses don't go through the roof for anything unexpected (say, car or cat issues, or even my own health), I can get my car paid off ten months early and can get $10K in savings by the time my car was scheduled to be paid off! That's with a few (cheap) vacations scheduled in each year, and a generous general expenses figure per month that I can shave down if need be for emergencies. I'm printing it out to see if I can stick to it.
Now let's hope that I can keep my jobs...

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