Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just spent about ten seconds in the kitchen decanting the ice cream from the ice cream maker into a freezing container and ZOMGWTFHEAT. I scooped as fast as I could and still wound up pouring ice cream soup into the tupperware. We'll see how it turns out.

My bedroom AC tells me it's down to 82 in here and it feels heavenly.

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

My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys." Dude, you told me not to wear underwear as outerwear this morning. I think we're good.

Hell, the I've just realised the rest of the project team seems to have loosened up exponentially. I now know who has twitter, the f-bomb has been tossed, not to mention I've been pointed towards a NSFW video. This is what the weeks before go-live to do to people, huh?

Still, I totally effed up in not telling him something important ahead of time. I feel like a doof. Bad PM! Bad, bad PM!

I'm getting the pig!

Thank you, Liese, I think. I just ordered a Fizzy Water / Soda kit from SodaStream. Definitely more than I was expecting to spend today but damn if it won't save me a ton of money in the long run. For some reason I never realized before that they had cola-similar options as well. Nifty!

DH drinks a TON of soda and I will NOT miss the various cans and plastic bottles left around the house or filling up the recycle containers.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and I will NOT miss the various cans and plastic bottles left around the house or filling up the recycle containers.

And I won't miss lugging those bottles home either.

Given that we're on our first heatwave, I just wish I already had mine. Fizzy ftw.

Does fizzying up your own drinks leave them with a mineral residue taste? Because I've become quite addicted to anything that passes as fizzy fruit juice, and I'm probably spending way too much money on Izze. I tried diluting juice with tonic or other fizzy water (since I dilute juice with normal water anyway), but it ended up tasting too salty. In fact, I don't actually like most of the fizzy juice drinks, just Izze and the World Market brand.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So I was going to make eggplant pasta tonight, but it takes an hour and I'm already starving and I have to go pick up freecycle stuff tonight. But I don't want the eggplant to go bad, it's the first eggplant from my garden! Suggestions on quick eggplant centered meals?

Bella wants outside. Dammit, cat, it is too hot.

Our wings are not tired.

Now I want an ice-cream maker and a soda maker.

My budget this month is already blown (hotel on one of Steve's nights here, and paying the outrageous $400 upgrade fee for my iPhone - because my 3G literally would NOT update with the OS4 no matter how many times my IT department tried, and half of my paid apps stopped working with the old OS already!! Grrrrrrr).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh god. My boss constantly stops herself after saying guys and rephrasing to gals. (Our leadership team is all women.) Drives me nuts, because I could care less.
