Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Perkins, here's more:

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ooh Sparky, I am furious on your behalf.

Ugh, I started a huge house project that I now need to drop only partially done because I NEED to go grocery shopping. Grrr. And then need to come home and finish as much of the project as possible before I pick up kids since it involves absurdly breakable dishes and vases. Argh. And when I'm all done? The house will look essentially no neater because I'm cleaning up cupboards, not moving the large swathes of furniture that need to be rearranged. Fume.

sigh.

Okay, repressing frustration and moving on to the next item.

Perkins, I second the Sudoku rec. I ended up buying the Sudoku Expert package because they are nicely challenging. And DH downloaded a sort of sudoku-riff number puzzle for free (not sure it's still free however) called Strimko something or other. Decent puzzles.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

But you will KNOW it's cleaner, Burrell!

I get your frustration, though -- you're all "5 hours of sweating and it still looks like this?"

Hmm. That pretty much sums up my attitude towards my ass, too...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm too lazy to take this to Tech so I will ask here--does anyone have any recommendations for iphone/ipad apps for memory/concentration oriented games or puzzles? Either kid or adult appropriate would be fine.

Falldown is definitely concentration-oriented, though not necessarily memory-oriented. Sushi-Go-Round is addictive and memory/concentration-oriented. There's also a Set app.

Thanks! I have suduko, but I was thinking more memory than figure it out apps, so I will look at the others.

perkins,

my favorite sudoku for the iphone is "sudoku2" - I like the interface and levels.

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

:(. Megan lost. Still! Wimbledon! My cousin!

So, there's that.

Person at work, please send me your notes. Boss is going to start harassing me for mine, and I need to crib off of you. Kisses!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I just realized while writing a check at the drugstore that today isn't my best friend's birthday; next Tuesday is.

So yay! that I don't have to socialize tonight when I'm not feeling it, but boo! at more evidence of early onset senility. Which will diminish my glee in taunting him about the approach of old age.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This morning I put a check in the mail and now I can't remember if I actually signed it or not.
