We're still getting lots of sleet tickety-ticking against the windows. No snow yet, but it will be here soon. Apparently, we're right on the edge between the snow and freezing rain in this storm, so we're getting a patchwork of wintry stuff across the St. Louis area.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
DH just texted he's being sent home now.
Gov't CONTRACTORS are being sent home; it's for sure the snowy end of the world, as DH has NEVER been sent home early in 7 years.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
DJ, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
All the "it just happens" stories are making me existentially terrified.
amyth, my condolences; it's so hard even when you know it's the right thing to do. I've never had to put a pet down, and I dread it, because I know it's inevitable.
sj, I hope the procedures go easy and make you feel much better.
Vortex, good grief. Like you needed more flakes in your snowy universe.
Daniel, OUCH. Have good drugs!
drama is when stuff really changes
Oh, lordy, I wish this were true of my niece. The drama is when she's awake.
Stay safe and warm in the Snowpocalypse, everyone!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The Blizardpocalypse isn't supposed to start here until 4 PM.
I just got home(yay! they let us go early!) and it is snowing but not Blizzardpocalypse levels yet. Still, glad I'm home and don't have to drive home later!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
smonster, possible miscarriage??!?!? Good gravy. I wish you all the best today. Text me if you need to.
Thanks, bonny, Zen, everyone. I forgot to mention: the vet called me later in the day to make sure I was okay. They are so awesome. I need to bake them cookies or something when I get my energy back.
The drama is when she's awake.
Zenkitty, I know she's a stressor on you, but this made me laugh.
Right now, we're planning a recycling video in our office. Ideas so far: an Inception parody about incepting frat boys to use compostable Solo cups for beer pong instead of plastic Solo cups ("It's not impossible, it's just bloody difficult.") and one with us all karate chopping cardboard boxes for some reason. I think we're a little punchy today.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Much ~ma to everyone. The first part of the ice storm changed tracking just enough that it missed us. Still not going into the office though... I'm fine working while sitting on the couch in inside pants.
I need to order personal business cards for my job search. I'm thinking about going with Vistaprint, but reviews are mixed. Does anyone have any experience with them? Or is there a better alternative? I'd obviously like to do this as cheaply as possible.
Ugh, I hate looking for a job, but I'd hate not having money to pay the bills more.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
smonster so much ~ma for you. You're doing good work, but I can't imagine how difficult it must be.
We're snowed in and the CSA is locked into our pick up location which probably won't be unlocked until Thursday. Good thing I went to the market.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Maria, I've used Vista Print. It's best to upgrade from the free version, and not to get the font too small. My first ones were pretty ugly. The second ones are nice. I uploaded a custom image rather than use theirs. Do you want some help?
eta: Now I've gone and looked at Moo; they look pretty good.

not your mom's socks.
Maria, moo cards are pretty good. The business card size is slightly different than US standard though.

I need to order personal business cards for my job search. I'm thinking about going with Vistaprint, but reviews are mixed.
Maria, Vistaprint has been my go-to for years...and years.
I have used their stock cards and now use my own designs. The only two bad experiences I have ever had with them involved:
1) A stock card that I loved but for some reason, the color saturation they used changed after a couple years.
I complained and they reran the order for me, without asking for the old order back, but it still wasn't right.
2) I had them print a baseball hat for me with the doggy lama logo. It was my fault for not thinking through the physics of printing on cloth, but the colors didn't show up well on a black hat. It was free (except for the design and shipping cost), so I can't complain. I must add, it's still my favorite ball cap. It fits really well, is a great quality fabric and is just super comfortable.
I have never ordered a business card from them that I didn't admire the quality of the card stock.
