Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have a new hair color. [link] I like it, but it is much darker.

That's an *excellent* color!

Our big Saturday night out (originally supposed to be a party, but the friend hosting the party had a pipe burst this morning -- water everywhere, so no party) was groceries and dinner at a local bar. I had liver & onions (I never eat the onions), which I love beyond reason.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Jess (or anyone else) -- I just remembered I have a baby shower to go to next weekend, and would rather buy stuff in person. I see they've registered for all organic cotton stuff, so I was thinking I'd go to Whole Foods. Any better options for in-store shopping in Manhattan?

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

That's an *excellent* color!

Thanks! I think I shall celebrate it with Magic Beer.

Kat, one of my coworker's officemate's has that. She get SO MUCH SHIT.

So I thank you. I may be insane cat lady, but...I don't mean to be! Yeah, I am an unapologetic cat person and kinda a hermit, but I'm not a collector. A sucker, sure (that's how I got the last two) but ....

The NICU folks will love you.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Elect being shown signs of divine favor in earthly life

Always seems to me to miss the point of the story of Job. Not that anyone posting here thinks that, but I've run into a lot of Christians who believe that, and I always wonder how they reconcile it with Job.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And the place they went to eat dinner playing spanish language tv, it made her furious

Don't they hear Spanish in Texas?

I'm glad I only had to reject the Catholic Church. There's a long tradition to that, and it's more comic than tragic.

Emmett has already taken up an atheistic position, though that doesn't seem to be helping with his bouts of existential angst.

Matilda has been going to church with JZ since she was born and is well into doing the "sign of peace" handshake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a nagging urge to watch The Beast just because it's probably going to be the last thing Swayze ever does, and I read that he forwent (is that the past tense of forgo?) pain meds so they wouldn't interfere with the acting.

What's up with Swayze? I haven't heard this.

He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a way back. Well, not long, but in terms of how long it usually takes it to kill, quite a while.
