When I wear nail polish my hands always feel hot and sweaty. It's like the polish is suffocating my fingers. Pedicures don't have the same effect, so I'm more likely to get those.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gah! Still laughing about the icy hill -- the fact that no-one or -car was hurt makes it just that much more acceptably funny.

There were pig magnets on sale for 50 cents at Staples (where I got mac some erasers and a pencil sharpener). so I did treat myself. all treat, no guilt.

Compassionately intolerant
I second the balsa wood airplane rec. Much less pointy and weighty than paper. Plus, they sometimes fall apart when they hit something and then can be put back together for more. I loved them as a kid.
Oragami is awesome. Friends' kids have a really intricate design book [Harrier jet type stuff] and when I come over, they ask me to help them with the worst challenges. I've got the time and tenacity to figure out otherwise confusing directions and the kids love seeing the final results. Then I can teach them how to get past the directions that confused them before.
Huge fun for all.

Punishingly Intricate
I had a totally old fashioned lunch--salmon cakes, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, white bread & butter. Delicious but so bad for me!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
We had a black lab as a kid, and my parents had read/decided that a good way to train her (aka stop the destruction) was to tie whatever she destroyed around her neck (it was the early 70s--don't ask).
I remember this happenening with several shoes, and some clothes, etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I finally got my lunch -- dumpling soup. It was delicious, totally hit the spot, and now makes me want to nap.
2.5 more hours to work!!! Or "work," as the case may be -- I just watched an adorable video of my coworker's nieces and nephew wishing us a Happy Chanukah.
