Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No.... this is another woman

Oh, phew -- obnoxious and size-obsessed is one thing, but wildly delusional is a scarier thing to have to deal with at work.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I was just surfing for restaurant suggestions for a Chicago-ista/MFNLaw get-together on Sunday, and have now made myself really hungry for everything from Swedish pancakes to barbecue to Persian stews.

And all I have here is chicken salad--feh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Slight debate we're having at work: Is a doctor an entrepreneur? I say yes, because she has her own office, staff, etc. Coworker doesn't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's nothing intrinsic in doctor that makes them an entrepreneur--some are and some aren't.

Truck accidents from the site tommy linked to above--no corpses or anything, just cars and trucks in weird places. Some have to be manips or results of pranks.

I'd agree with the co-worker, and note that it sounds like we've got different definitions of "entrepreneur" -- what you're describing, to me, is "small business owner", which isn't in any doubt. "Entrepreneur" connotes something more like innovation, new ventures, and the like.

Ah, amych, I think you're right. I tend to think anyone who's started a business is an entrepreneur. And actually, I think that's how we've tended to define it as an organization. Hm.

No.... this is another woman at the start of the conversation!

Yeah, I was about to say, "OMGWTF anorexic ideation?!"

I am so bored. So bored!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm making Aimee's pot roast for dinner RIGHT NOW!

My morning went thusly:

1) Cancelled gym appointment (for daycare) because kids were being heathens.
2) Heathen 2 bit Heathen 1 right on the cheek.
3) Heathen 1 threw a toy and broke a light fixture in his room, subsequently cutting his finger on the piece of glass.
4) Called DH home to watch Heathen 2 while I took Heathen 1 to the ER to have the cut checked by a professional. Professional opinion was that the cut was a 'tweener. If it was a tad worse, it'd have called for stitches. We opted out of steri-strips or surgical glue due to Heathen's sensory issues.
5) Stopped to get McDonalds for lunch.
6) Threw together pot roast.

Now I'm either ready to collapse or take the kids to Target.

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