Today is the day I wish I had a katbot. I could get my katbot to go to work, while I stayed home in my jammies eating holiday cookies.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I believe I actually used the word gobsmacked.

It really is astonishing. It will be interesting to see what the defense will be, but insanity or substance abuse seem to be the only options.
Sort of makes you long for a good old-fashioned sex scandal.
OMG SPARKY, THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Yes you did. Considering I was rather surprised myself, I can't blame anyone for that kind of reaction.

The baby and I have to discuss, because 5/25 is my nephew's birthday. And since my U. gives me NO MATERNITY LEAVE, and I am the family breadwinner, I have to at least consider planning Babyfras' arrival.

Because books.
No maternity leave? Seriously?!

They must have FMLA, though, right? I mean, there's no religious exemption for that or anything.

FMLA just means they can't fire you, though. It's unpaid.
