Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now my problem is that delivery nachos probably won't be very good, but I don't really feel like going to the store. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm feeling it now! It took me almost 85 minutes to do it, but I finished. When I was swimming on a regular basis two years ago, I worked my way up to the mile, and then whittled my time down to just over an hour. If I get the energy to go again tomorrow, I think I'll keep it at 20 laps so I don't get so exhausted afterwards.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Impressive, Kathy! I tried swimming a couple of weeks aggo and managed all of two laps. Two!

Damn, Kathy, that is impressive. Exercising like that for an hour is a lot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is impressive, Kathy.

Does someone want to find me a sofa I want to buy? I need one, but looking makes my head hurt.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

To sum up: Meerkats good, Jack Black soul-devouring hellspawn.

Proof you've raised that kid right so far.

I spent today taking my parents to go visit a couple of our octogenarian cousins over in Memphis, and a good time was had by all. Also found out that my one cousin's new-ish dog is a hermaphrodite.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hey Protestants, is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America the liberal one?

Edit: Google tells me yes.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm sitting at work, been here since 9:00 am. Twelve and half hours later, I still have an hour and a half to go.

I've decided that I don't know the proper response to "What a great place to work!"

a) enthusiastic "thanks!"/"it sure is!"
b) bored "thanks"/"yup"
c) "but the pay sucks"
d) "yep, it's definitely way better than where *you* work"
