I need to call the Birmingham Y. Why do I hate the phone so much?

You want me to call for you? What do you need to know?

Signed, That's Easier than What I need to be doing right now

And, ack, I need to call the vet!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I am exhausted. Also concerned that I haven't gotten an email in...nevermind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I stayed home from work today, and still have this stupid headache. I've taken a bunch of ibuprofin, some excederin, and that's basically all I have in the house as far as painkillers go. What else to do??

This usually helps me, but rags straight from the freezer, one on the forehead near the top of the head, and one on the back of your neck.

I called and it went to their machine! WTH! I did arrange pick up for a piece of furniture we got a couple of weekends ago though.

Huh! I'll try it.

Made the call already, but thanks, lisah! Looks like I'll be swimming OUTDOORS. Wild.

I think all that needs doing now is to actually get in the car and go to the airport. But flight isn't until 8:15, so not yet.

Oh, I can go turn the alarm down from wake-the-dead volume.

Mid-Century Modern fans (I think Hec is one) This may reopen in Dallas! [link]

I'm so excited. It makes me sad to ride past it and think of how it could be if someone renovated. And now they are!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That triangle is out to get me.

Nonsense. It was the amoeba-like thing that was dangerous. The result was as absolutely not like me as possible.

Its constant abundant presence in the freezer due to the ice cream monster I live with has made its allure wear off.

Since the only ice cream monster around here is me, I don't think this would work. The little ice cream voices would keep calling me until it was gone.

My extensive study of ice cream labels has mainly made me realize that the low-fat ice creams use sugar and chemicals to make up for the lack of fat, making the number of calories almost identical. The main difference is that the flavors that are full of nuts and candy bars have more calories.
