Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In non-political, non-Super Bowl news, I just did my taxes and am so relieved I had the "right" number of deductions, so I'm getting about $250 back, which is perfect to me. Last year, I had been in school half the year, so got a big refund from the tution credit or whatever, so I wasn't confident I had it right.

OK, I just turned on the game coverage, and they're giving the Walter Payton award, and said, "The late Walter Payton's wife, [I forget]." What happened to the word widow??

I still don't have my W2. Grrrr...

I love soup. Sara, I'd do multiple batches in the blender. Unless the mixer you have is a stick mixer?

K made corn chowder and it's delish. I am such a fun of soup this year. And now that I'm sick, even more so.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have 12 W2s and 1099s. I should go through my pay stubs to see if that's all of them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am also missing tax forms (I think they have until Feb 15 to mail it this year). But I want to file! I've said it before, I'll say it again: Turbo Tax is like being paid to take a test. It is one of the highlights of my year.

Our wings are not tired.

Susan, I ended up with 2 Buffista cookbooks. If you want one drop me a note.
