Liese, no need to feel ashamed. You need to read the books to be able to properly mock them (and to discuss them with teenage girls.) The bright side is they are super fast reads. Then, when you are done, reread the Hunger Games as a palate cleanser and to shake the misery that is wussy Bella out of your mind.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Storms woke me up at 5. Of course, at first I thought it was Loki playing/shredding paper and yelled at him, but after getting up to chase him down, realized it was too loud for that, then thought it sounded like fire and freaked before I realized it was just rain/hail on my roof. Kinda dozed until 6. Oof.

If those of you up the East Coast are getting the storms we had overnight, watch out. INCREDIBLE wind and rain and thunder. I think no hail.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had a lot of rain and some thunder yesterday! I don't want any more, thank you.
Also, I used to make my grocery list more or less in order of the store, but my current store has two entrances, and I use both depending on where I'm coming from, so it doesn't work anymore.

I may have a short list of "do not forget!" items on my phone (which I usually forget to look at) but otherwise I just start in the produce and go aisle by aisle. I make a lot of my choices depending on what's on sale anyway.

I totally make my grocery list in the order of the store. It's so much faster and easier that way. (Once, they rearranged my Kroger. It was so traumatic!)
Half the city has power outages, and my coworker in the country reported hail. It was sooooo windy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The SO does it one further and looks at the sales and stuff on the web first, and then makes the week's menu plan based on what's on sale.
Oh, I do that, too. I assumed everyone looks at the flyers. (Which, obviously not. I don't think I will ever reach an age where I stop making the dumbass assumption that everyone sees/does things the way I do. I try not to, and get all prideful that I've made so much progress, and then something else pops up, like Not Everyone Grocery Shops The Way You Do, Duh.)

I somehow missed the thunder -- damn, I like a good storm. It must have passed south of Somerville by a bit.
My aim for the Mobile Apps class is to create a Shopping List app that lets you input aisles for different stores easily, so that you can switch the order of items by which store you're visiting. Not to mention different lists for different stores, because there are some thing you can get in Stop & Shop that you can't in Whole Foods and vice versa.

Last night's storm let me know that I can hear the county's tornado sirens.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Also, I used to make my grocery list more or less in order of the store, but my current store has two entrances, and I use both depending on where I'm coming from, so it doesn't work anymore.
No, wait, this can still totally work. If you go in one entrance then you just use the list as normal, and if you go in the other entrance, then instead you use your list Memento style! By which, of course, I mean you tattoo "coffee" and "lentils" and such like on your torso.
