Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

I love that today is Super Fat Tuesday! It makes me feel like I fit right in.

But I think it was done completely unironically. Like I might say, "It's too close to call. I predict someone will win." But they didn't do that.

People make me laugh.

We had pancakes for dinner.

I need to get a copy of a credit report to send to my potential new landlord. Any ideas on how I do that?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Couples annoy each other more as they grow old together.

My parents HAD to have been test subjects.

My parents have certainly got less patient with each other on the phone over time. But then, that's also just time talking to kids long distance, time to build up intolerance to the quirks (hi dad, you make SO MUCH NOISE.) That article doesn't really argue with my experience.

OTOH, they've also grown much more protective of the other. They bitch but they worry and try to mitigate in ways I haven't been witness to earlier.

Crap, my parents are inching towards old and I don't like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is Matt around? Sounds like he's in worse shape than we are - tornadoes hitting that area.

Dudes, the current breaking news on CNN is tornado warnings in Memphis. The Weather Center is INSIDE the Election Center!

"WTF, there's no Canadians on the jury" and then found out it some kind of code for black people! Which is just...weird.

WTF!

Okay, I need a cabana boy who will shovel. There was only a few inches of snow, and now my back is killing me.

Also, there was some nutter further up my street using his snowblower in the middle of the road. He must really like his snowblower.

Our wings are not tired.

Shiny post number there, Jesse.

And with that I must hit the sheets, although I will likely fall asleep with the tv on since I have to torture myself with this election stuff. CA needs to start closing their polling earlier so as not to disturb my sleep patterns.

Also, last complaint of the night. It is 10:30 at night here in the middle of the winter, and 75 degrees. I refuse to put the A/C on so it's crank the fans time.

I don't even shovel the driveway, this is just from the walk and the sidewalk! Besides, I suspect that this is the guy that once kept me outside for a half hour while he gossiped about everyone on the street. I was wearing only a sweater and it was around 0 C. They say women have a reputation for being busybodies, but the three biggest gossips I've met on this street have all been men.
