Happy Anniversary to the Pix Designs. I am so glad you have each other. And I am still sorry for the TOTAL manners fail that made me not send my RSVP when I should have! Shameful.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Best possible "it's nothing" thoughts to Kate.
Happy Anniversary to the PixDesigns!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In other news, I bought a smartphone last night: a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. I'm so excited but I won't get it until Friday.
Ooh, cool, let me know how it is. I have T-Mobile, so when I finally get on the smartphone train, I'll have to decide which one to get.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How much of an idiot is this woman?
Butt-dialing mistake sends SWAT team to Winnetka school
In a spectacular misunderstanding sparked by an accidental cell phone call, a worried wife caused SWAT teams to swarm the Winnetka school where her husband works, officials said Tuesday.
The wife received the disturbing, garbled call from her husband's phone Monday evening, Winnetka police said.
"You know how when you sit on your phone when it's in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he'd dialed," said Winnetka police Chief Joseph De Lopez. "The conversation led her to believe there was someone holding him hostage."
In the popular vernacular, it was a butt dial, the bane of many a chagrined cell phone user. This time, it led to a frantic 911 call from a wife. Soon, more than 30 gun-toting officers converged on Carleton Washburne School, which also houses the District 36 offices where the man works.
"He was listening to music and he had, I don't know, hip-hop … or music like that, where there were lyrics that were gangster-like," explained Mark Friedman, interim co-superintendent of District 36. "So there were lyrics on the radio as he was driving home, and she listened to it and became concerned."
Armed with automatic weapons and wearing bulletproof vests, SWAT team members circled the school about 5 p.m. Monday, searching for a reported gunman who might be holding a hostage. The all-clear sounded nearly three hours later, after the man was found safe at home by police.

"So there were lyrics on the radio as he was driving home, and she listened to it and became concerned."
Wow, that' an epic level of paranoia.
I have sorted almost all the clothes, and cleaned a sink full of science experiments in two hours. Not bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sooooo....Jake Gyllenhaal broke up with Taylor Swift. What? I'm so out of touch. But I did know about Ryan Reynolds. So there's that.
Man, I'm crampy and miserable today, and I swear the construction smells are sharper than ever before. But that might be crampy.
And I'm redoing yesterday's training webinar because I didn't pay enough attention yesterday. I might be getting too old to triple-task properly.
