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

Oopsie! TMZ admits that Kennedy photo is probably a fake: Kennedy Picture -- A Fake?

Playboy says it's a picture that ran in a 1967 issue.

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

I am at the airport and through security stupid early partially because I wasn't sure what security would be like after spending half an hour in Tucson waiting to go to security even though there were only 10 people ahead of me in line because of the new procedures. Here there was no line and the TSA agents weren't being anywhere near as throrough as the Tucson agents were. I commented on this to one agent who told me "that's because all the supervisors are on vacation still".

I feel very safe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At LAS? Unrelated to any new procedures, I think they've generally done a good job of cutting down the wait time there, because it used to be horrendous!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just found out that someone will need to move into my office by January 15th. I feel worse for her -- she's been in her office forever and has more seniority than I do, so it sucks that she's being rushed around like this.

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

Is she being moved into your office as well as you, or instead of you?

I can't believe I'm flying Friday. I haven't flown domestically in years. I haven't seen this segment of family in years. And they've apparently been flexing drama muscles the whole of D's illness, and are coming to a boil. Why does it have to be about them and their issues?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Do you ever have to tell Olivia not to booby trap her room?

Yes, actually.

She also figured out how to empty all their toy bins and stack them up to reach the top of the door frame in the playroom. There was a key hidden up there to unlock the unfinished side of the basement. Olivia is 32" tall. You figure an average door frame is over 6' 8", she figured out how to climb nearly FOUR FEET balanced on small, plastic tubs with no hand holds.

She likes to climb up onto Owen's dresser and leap as well. I also caught her climbing up the outside of the banister on our staircase more than once.

Those two could do some damage, ijs.

I finally made it into the gym after weeks of not really doing much exercise. I hate how busy it is around New Year's. Everybody's got resolutions they're attending to and it's making the locker room extremely crowded. I had to wait for a shower today!

I am thinking about giving up coffee again for a while, for the sake of my stomach. Am I crazy?

Nope. If you felt better off coffee it makes sense to stay off it! I think I may need to give up either cheese or wheat.

But I don't drink coffee.

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

It really was horrendous at times, which is why I made sure to leave lots of time. It was a breeze though and has been my last couple of trips.

Ugh in the office, Dana.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think I may need to give up cheese

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

We will be sharing the office.

ita, if it's any comfort, flying in and out of the New Orleans airport was really easy this week.
