Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Hmm. To me, toilet-buying sounds horrible (because a: ought to be there forever and not demand attention. b: ought not to break down or need replacing ever!) whereas the stove thing is lovely, as one of the main advantages to buying a house was NOT HAVING TO USE A FREAKING ELECTRIC STOVE EVER AGAIN.

ahem. sorry. too long in cheap rentals in the land of cheap construction. anyway.

So this basically is a happy upgrade we've been promising ourselves. But the million models with basically identical features and slightly different model numbers is harshing my buzz just a little.

Productive! You need to not write more often!

I have written a grand total of 134 words, and managed to do that without cleaning the bathroom. I will probably save the bathroom for tomorrow's procrastination fun times.

This is the first tree we've had in this house!

Aw.

msbelle, a 7 ft tree?! Yikes.

It is snowing here.

So I went to BestBuy to size tvs. That was all. And I walked out with a printer/scanner. It was under $60. But still, when I'm sitting around, fretting about finances, not what I needed to do, you know?!! Ah well, the old one was pretty sad.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac gets to choose the tree, we will probably always have big ones.

I'm thinking about rewarding myself with beer for writing, but I don't want to put on outside pants and walk down the snowy street.

I'm thinking about rewarding myself with beer for writing, but I don't want to put on outside pants and walk down the snowy street.

I've solved this problem by making very large Peapod orders and keeping a spare case or two in my storage. I don't actually drink that much at home but I hate coming home and wanting another beer or two and not having any.

Actually, shrift, are you doing anything tonight? I'm headed up your direction to a toys for tots benefit at Clark/Irving Park. Free if you bring a toy to donate. It would require outside pants, though.

The status is NOT quo.

Anyone want to join us? I'm making killer shrimp style shrimp after!

This is so very tempting, but I don't think I'm healthy enough yet to be tromping around outside. I hope you have a great time, though.
