I've heard guys using Uptalk. Several of my students. It drives me nuts.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

The status is NOT quo.
I'm pretty sure a misreading of Knuffle Bunny was how Kerfuffle Bunny started.Yep, that would be my fault.
ETA: And yes, I hate hate hate uptalk. I (sweetly) beat it out of my students.

Holy gronk, y'all. I have so much on my plate today and I have no idea how I'll get it all done.

I -- very seriously -- cannot leave a penny on the ground. I have fished them out of mud puddles, motor oil splatters, and other dubious goop. Whenever I do any sort of volunteer thing that involves going door to door (like checking to see who has recycle bins, and if they don't have them but want them, obtaining their info), I have to try really hard to NOT pick up pennies on the ground on their property.
Steph is me. The only time I don't pick them up is when they are in the middle of a busy street, and then I think about them all day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We finally got our office a/c fixed, and now it is FREEZING in here. Better than sitting in a pool my own sweat, but come on, office temperature people! Find a happy medium!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Just as I was leaving the house this morning at 7:25 (to get in for an 8:30 mtg) I got an email on the BlackBerry that the boss would be working from home and the 8:30 was cancelled. YEEHAW! In the extra 15 minutes I nabbed I:
- charged/synched my iPod - opened a stack of mail and put 3 items to do in my bag for work - dropped off dry cleaning - got iced coffee
This is how I know my life is getting organized again.
It's a great day for the boss to be out because it's my long lunch which I have to take every other week to meet with mac's therapist.

Big boss brought bagels.
Thank god. I was about to start chewing on the table and if he'd brought donuts, I would have had to choose the table. (I have no idea why I was hungry this morning.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Better yet, she doesn't do that oh-so-annoying thing I've noticed many female Twinkies on 24-hour news shows do: announce the news with that little questioning inflection at the end of sentences? Because that makes them less threatening or more feminine?
I'll add the way she said, "Bushed!" on last night's show.
