That's super weird Sara--do try have a number to call?

I developed a HUGE crush on a guy I worked with once because he smelled like my ex who smelled amazing. I really had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't interested in this stranger AT ALL, I just missed my ex's skin.

I once freaked myself out on a business trip where I think I had grabbed a new trial size deodorant and suddenly was smelling an ex all over. Mustve been the same one she used, but until then I had no idea I associated a smell with her!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think the smell center in the brain is closest to the memory center or something to that effect. Makes smells very powerful memories.

Yes, but I don't want to risk accidentally activating it. I googled post-post, and it's legit, but shady/exploitative. Activation fees, use fees. I wouldn't have gone with something like that anyway, but I want to make sure it's not in my credit history. I'm still looking into that.

(Especially confusing was that I volunteered to be a mystery shopper for the Y, and that comes with a $50 visa prepaid, but I didn't think they'd picked their mystery shoppers yet.)

Well, that's extra confusing. Maybe check with the Y before shredding?

Well, the Y said explicitly Visa, so that I think is cleared up. And I'm pretty sure (after thinking about it) I'll get it in a Y envelope (if they pick me) with explicit explanations about what it is.

Ah, that makes sense. Unsolicited credit like things are freaky, indeed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, I don't think the Excedrin Migraine is working at all tonight. Day two and a half of the migraine. It really sucks that ita and Betsy and others have to go through this so often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Craaaap. I spontaneously went out, which is a good thing in general, but I think I drank too much... I really need to go to sleep ASAP.

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

Crazy powerful. And often quite unexpected.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I cannot believe this Giants team. But it's a good kind of disbelief.

::high fives javachik::

When I was working with Kevin last year I said, "When the Giants win their first World Series in San Francisco, Tim Lincecum will fire the strikeout into Buster Posey's glove."

But I didn't think we'd have a shot at in Buster's rookie season.

Off to Texas.
