I almost had a burrito for lunch! And then I didn't.
ION, man, I feel like ass. Stupid cold. I may end up bailing on my dinner plans, even though they are taking place one (1) block from my apartment.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

not your mom's socks.
I think we should all get out early today. please, go inform your bosses.
I totally just gave my minion the afternoon off. I did so from the beach, but she doesn't have to know that.

Less than 200 posts to go! I have a feeling it's going to be tonight or tomorrow, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Because a woman his own age -- horrors!
This would be why men irritate me so much.
I think this is an unfair characterization, plenty of men out there buck the stereotypes. Or perhaps another way to put it is that our culture--and it's cultural expressions--is certainly sexist but that doesn't make all men a direct reflection of the most egregious elements.
And, in a completely new response to board discussion, Tom, I agree with everyone else, be kind to yourself.

Oooh, good plan. And hey, I am leaving early(ish) today, because I need to go home and make myself extra gothy before the Peter Murphy concert tonight.

Unpossible. That's like trying to make the cover of "Smell the Glove" blacker.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yesterday was the (6 years younger than I) DH's birthday, and we had this conversation, which is kinda germane to this topic:
DH: So, I'm out of the 35-45 age bracket now. I'm old.
Me: Yeah, but remember, no matter how old you get...
DH: I'm still younger than you.
Me: That's right.
DH: Thank God. That's the only thing that allows me to go on.

Extra gothy? What does that entail? And will there be pictures?
In the realm of not so gothy, but not entirely ungothy sartorial news, Franny insisted on wearing her fairy wings to school today.
I have the early signs of a sore throat. I think I'm going to try to follow DH's advice and keep quiet today, but I have a strong urge to clean out the shower stall while the kids are out of the house (I hate exposing them to the bleach).

Awww, thank you!

It involves more eyeliner, a more elaborate outfit, and possibly a tiny top hat. Yes, there will be pictures.

Go Franny! I approve.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In work news, I got a hilarious email from my work nemesis (remember her??) that said, "Please give me the dates for the following events: June 16 event, [other event], [other event].
Luckily, the date for the "June 16 event" is actually JULY 16.
