I think I love ita's mom.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Hey, that's my cousin playing bass on Conan! What an unfortunate haircut.

Man, overproof rum was always our guest gift to my Aunts from the Duty Free.
It was always the guest gift from my Great Aunt from the Duty Free. It wasn't so exciting to me, I don't like rum. But my dad was pretty psyched.

She has to stop watching TV or there'll be no food left for her to eat.
You should have showed up with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon.

ita's mom for the win! My mom never sends me booze or food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why do I not read package ingredients?? I got all excited that Quaker instant oatmeal had a "50% less sugar" version, because I thought it would be less sweet, not more sucralose.

Oooh -- if I go off to the networking meeting early, I can stop in at Whole Foods for a slice of yummy vegan Carrot Cake, which while high-priced is yummy yet also healthy....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my sweetener-avoidant experience, less sugar means more artificial sweetener and unsweetened is the only thing you can rely on for reduced sweetness.

I want to bet she doesn't like PJ. She makes less sense than when I was vegan. At least I was consistent for the first three months. Then I started incorporating a steak a week.
I have no idea how she's expecting to eat when she's here. Dairy is my main non-meat protein. Ah, well. That's why one of the first things I do with family when they show up is go grocery shopping. Their ways are obscure to me, some more than others.
I don't think my mother has ever not sent food. She will often travel with one suitcase full of it, although she has trouble convincing father and sister to go to her lengths.
Headache woke me up this morning. Today is going to be long. I also keep leaving the last letter off of my words. Today is all document preparation, so it's going to be even longer.

That's one of the reasons that I can't go vegetarian -- it's much harder to incorporate enough protein if you can't do the Moo.

Even I have a limit to the amount of pork I eat, which is her only mammal. Probably because I don't cook it with a great deal of variation--I'm mostly in it for the piggy taste, so I don't do a lot of seasoning, just grill it with a little pepper, or maybe stuff a thick pork chop with some lightly spiced filling.
