Even if I freeze half of it, I'll still be eating it all week.

You know if you freeze it, you can actually eat it next month.

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

Woo, Brenda!

I'll be eating it all week and next month if I freeze half of it. I spent three hours making it and I am not cooking again until the weekend, damn it.

DJ, I'm sorry to hear about your bar. I know what it's like to lose your local (of course, in my case, I lost it to douchebags, but I still miss it). I suspect this is more frustrating because there's no one to blame. Sorry hon.

Go with brenda's 242%! It's so awesome that I didn't even see the first number and thought "42%? But her other coworker who isn't as good got 50" And then I reread and thought "xoco is totally on her next time I'm in Chicago" ;)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Though at first I read that as 242% of your salary, and I'm assuming your bonus was 242% of target, instead? Cause that would be CRAZY awesome if you got a bonus of twice your salary!

Ha ha, that's how I read it at first too.

242% is awesome! Congrats, brenda!

I have stayed up later than I should have, reading a book. I love reading books when everyone else in the house is asleep. It's so peaceful.

“Not dead yet!”

Some of the different real estate listing sites will tell you if it's pending.

...where!!?

Try John L. Scott or Windermere.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Brenda, that's fabulous--and well-earned! Woohoo you!

Those are some pretty people in those pictures (especially the little one!).

Now tagless for your comfort.

I can't believe I'm still reading Bureau 2.

Brenda, that is AWESOME, as are you!
