Except one day I might have to be nice to him, and I totally can't guarantee that.

You don't always have to be nice to your spouse, but there are consequences to be borne.

I have well informed views on DNRs, Medical Power of Atty, and such, and yet? Deep down I'd rather not deal with them, particularly when it comes to loved ones.

I'm not even talking about always--just it happening one day.

I'm not the nicest person these days.

Bah, humbug.

Okay, two more tasks checked off my list. That's something.

I'm not jumping in on the citizenship conversation, mostly due to my own ignorance and one sided view. I need to educate myself more.

Elizabeth Post died.

Stephanie - I guess that sentence should have ended "and others come in illegally and get the benefits of living here."

One of my (male, older than me) writers, in what I can only assume was an attempt to make small talk while we were both in the kitchen, asked me if I had done anything for the event yesterday.

"Which event?" I ask, feeling slightly confused.

"The earthquake one!" he replied.

DUDE. RANDOM MALE CO-WORKERS I DON'T REALLY KNOW SHOULD NOT ASK ME IF I PARTICIPATED IN BOOBQUAKE. I feel vaguely oogie now. Am I overreacting?

We signed our wills this weekend, and we reviewed our DNR, medical power of attorney and financial power of attorney (for me, two separate people). It's a little sobering.

I am crabby and I have a meeting with two people I intensely dislike. INTENSELY. yay?

The upside, I have a new sushi necklace on with my sushi dress.

Am I overreacting?

Honey, I am clutching my pearls right with you.

And I even have pearls today to clutch.

Give me a moment...and they're clutched.

I missed the whole Boobquake thing somehow. What were you supposed to do for it?

Honey, I am clutching my pearls right with you.

Would that I wore my pearls today. Instead I clutched my watch pendant necklace and said, "Oh, I worked at home with a migraine yesterday".
