I fucking hate acceptance testing. I just needed to share that. I've got a horrible scenario tree and it is making me insane. I think I'll ok it, but there's some unexpected but not bad shit. I think. My head is in knots. I successfully blocked it out until now.

Dumbass Loki has been over on Anna's deck for at least an hour. Didn't see him slip out earlier. Now inside, but goddamn, this cat will make me nuts.

My friend who works for EW just tweeted that Chuck was renewed! Yay!

For reals? There were rumors!

I can't watch/be around Daddy/daughter stuff.

Oh man. How weird is it that I would read this thread when I'm essentially smashed.

Um. Having lived what I have, I can't imagine anyone enjoying such 'play', but you know what? I'd rather consulting adults work it out amongst themselves, rather than turning that need on children...you know?

Whatever we repress, comes to the party in a different dress.

As a culture, we could go a lot farther with opportunity to work needs/preferences out without involving innocents. So, yeah. Yay for the kink community.

Um. I guess I should not have taken that birthday bottle of wine over to friend's house. I'm way, way too...whatever I become when I drink way too much. Ugh.

I have so much to do tomorrow, but sadly, alcohol does not make me sleep. Quite the opposite. Ergh. Bad plan.

Drinking warm milk would probably just make me pukey. What else can aI do to soak up the alcohol. Protein? Must research.

Sucktastic day ended really well. My doorbell rang about 30 minutes ago and some friends delivered a card and flowers. Woot for friends!

For all the problems CJ has had with Algebra this year, necessitating him to repeat it next year, he blew away a recent math aptitude test.

Theresa, your friends ROCK. They know your true value.

Man, I need to drag myself out of the house and go dress shopping this weekend. Not only do I have a wedding to go to, I could use more clothes to wear to the sales conference in San Francisco next month.

I really need to find a way to do big jigsaw puzzles, even in this house of Flat Surfaces Need Things Put on Them. I could get a puzzle caddy, but then there's no place to set out the puzzle caddy to work on it. I do so adore working on jigsaw puzzles while watching TV or listening to music, it's like a chemical-free brain trip, because the conscious mind is locked on the very structured puzzle working, and the rest of my mind is going where the sound is leading it.

My beloved surrogate mom is a HUGE puzzle champion. Every gift giving holiday features dozens of new entries into the 'can she do it?' puzzle sweepstakes.

One of her sons made a custom tabletop, with lip, for her card table. It's made of slick whiteboard material, bordered by a simple molding. It's light-weight and easy to move around. Super efficient.

There is a giant table on the patio, and now that summer's here I can monopolize that occasionally.
