This fills me with impotent rage [link]

DJ, I saw that, and yeah, pretty much with the impotent rage.

I'll let you know when I know potential dates!

I AM PSYCHED.

we definitely spend a lot at TJ's because the frozen meals are so easy to take for lunches

If not for TJ's frozens, I would probably never eat lunch. Today I ate a granola bar that was leftover from bribing football tailgating recycling volunteers. In November.

I forgot to mention! They turned off the boiler today to work on it, so we have no heat. And everyone else cut out early. Earlier I was sad/overwhelmed, now I'm pissed/frozen.

But Calli will be here soon! Yay! And later I will have a very fancy sandwich with smonster.

WOO HOO, onerous task-doers!!! GO YOU GUYS!!!

Which is why I hope the Leverage team never says it (and I've told John as much). I respect them more for it.

I don't think they will. None of them are delusional, and even Nate now plainly claims the title of thief.

Oh, god. I remember those freezing days. Yikes.

I am Kate WRT to grocery issues. I could make better use of our co-op coupon books, and could certainly do a better job of meal planning to cut down on waste, emergency runs, and eating out.

Would love to see you, girl.

Just what you needed, right??

You too! God, it's been... a long damn time! Since 2007? That ain't right.

I am on the bus and just passed a restaurant named Natural Vibes Jerk Hut. I know I am twelve, but who thinks of these names.

People who are also 12?

Well I went to the PO, but the machine was out of order and the line was long. I will try another PO this evening. That will be three packages out. I should probably do some of the Holiday cards in the next half hour. We just finished an hour of mac homework that was all work that should have been done in class today. He also has his third detention for the year. Yesterday he wrote notes about students vs. teachers and had images that looked a little like guns on them.

DJ- i hear that rage. I posted the news link (and the link to that petition) and one of my lawyer friends actually responded along the lines of "she broke the law and she's lucky she was only convicted on the lesser charges" and my brains started oozing out my ears i was so incensed. Can't even respond to that level of "anything illegal should be slammed with the toughest possible penalities with no regard for precedence or the circumstances that caused it" without going off the deep end.

I don't use coupons, too many of them are for foods we don't eat. For me planning was the key -- and a flexible plan. Which is easier in the winter. soups and stew freeze, if we don't eat them all
