I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, but it sounds like cursing at them might be fun.

Many people are taking care of that. I felt it appropriate to remind her what McCain called his wife.

Water issues make me tetchy. Sorry, Jesse.

Speaking of, I kinda love NASA for doing this for their ike-hit employees of Johnson Space Center: [link] An earlier notice said the R&R place offers showers, potable water supplies and plugs to recharge stuff, tv, internet, air conditioning. Yay showers! Also, a moving truck from Goddard employees is leaving tonight after a Costco run to fill up on supplies for the Johnson folk. They were soliciting for donations.

I love passed out kittens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's great!

My super just said not to take long showers -- the dry wall he put up is "supposed to be" waterproof...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The Dh just sent me this link, which I think will definitely be appreciated by Buffistas.

You are correct! This one, anyway.

OK, slight reprieve -- they are leaving at 9:30, so I still have to get there early, but I think I can wake up at the regular time and just bust a move out of my house in the morning.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've gotten all three of my Zappos orders overnight. I'm willing to test it on a fourth order.

I just got an exchange overnight. Seriously?

It's a brilliant business plan - promise overnight and most people are happy and some freak if they don't get it on time. Don't promise but mostly deliver - 99% of us love you and feel all special, nobody's calling in complaining, and the few people who really need overnight for sure maybe cough up an extra $30.

so instead of getting my shower tiled in the morning, I have to go in to print stuff out by 9. Yikes. At least I'm not really supposed to be using the shower... that'll save time in the morning, anyway.

I can actually print stuff to the office printer from home. [Thank you, John McCain!]

Oh, that would be sweet. There are still packets to put into a bag, though....

I just emailed my SIL asking if I can stay at the house. Uhg. I hate asking. I'm fine with OTHERS asking me, and happy to host if I can, but it feels so presumptive when I do it. Especially when the weekend will already be crazy. Also asking her to keep my visit a secret.

LKN: He just did that cat thing of showing me his butt. Good lord , he's got bigger balls than Mister Kitty! But he's getting snipped in early October.

Am I crazy that I don't want my super here when I'm not home? It's not that I don't trust him, but I want to keep my eye on the cat and stuff.
