It's 90+ degrees out today.
And I'm in a turtleneck.
My sleeves are bunched up to above the elbows, though.
thousand miles sounds ominous
It is, and I'm totally unequipped to deal.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I never open the door when I'm not expecting anyone. I figure anyone I'd want to open the door to has my phone number.
Kristen, I swear I was trying to figure out what I knew about those magazine sellers, and of course it was the L&O not the Times piece.
Hah--I ended up going with a coworker friend to her first bikini wax! Not in the room, though. Just to the spa.
Ha! I'm guessing she didn't want me in the room, but still. We went to Tiffany's instead to get our boss's going-away present. (And I tell you what, I was adamant that no one feel pressured to give any money towards it!)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Liese, your house is so lovely! wow.
I am so tired. The past two weeks have been beyond busy, hence I haven't been around to post, etc. But I think life is going to calm down for a bit. I hope.

Our wings are not tired
I'm aboard the cross country mouse wagon. There is an infant in the seat in front of me. Spork me now.

I was in a wool sweater. Now I'm in a tshirt.

I'm so glad it wasn't just me!

Never. Not if it's about L&O, anyway...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Aw. my fridge and stove have a rebate for free delivery, so I sent an e to my parents telling them I'd send it in this week and have the check sent to them.
They sent me this:
Allyson,
Mom says to keep the rebate and buy whatever you can for your new fridge.
We are both very happy for you,and we wish you the best of health, happiness and spirit in your new apartment.
We love you very much.
Mom and Dad

Awwww!
I had a pleasant and mostly fun afternoon, but got very little work done. Now I'd better force myself to do just a little programming. ::looks fierce::

From way back, thanks for the offer, but it looks like S&S is repeating on PBS this weekend so I've set the Tivo. Of course, I've yet to watch Mansfield Park or P&P so I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to watching it.
Ooh, thanks for the heads-up.
Also, Susan, my sis and her roommates have been on a total Austen kick recently, and I had, um, borrowed, one of their DVDs which they spent hours looking for. But! I was able to totally skate out of the situation by loaning them the BBC dvds you gave me. Whoo-hoo!
Also, if that kid left your home with all him limbs intact, you get an A. Seriously.
ION, I tried to leave work early at like 2:30 today because I was just so exhausted. I had stuff to do, but I knew I'd do better if I just went home and sat on my couch and tackled it there. I even had my computer shut down.
Then I made the mistake of mentioning to my boss an (actually pretty good) idea I had, and instead of getting added to some list, she wanted to move right away, and then the Americas Chief of PR is at my desk asking questions, and then we're planning out the whole goddamn thing right now. And then that keeps me there long enough that someone calls on a whole 'nother project that needed fires put out.
Feh.
