Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's raining, I still don't know my work status, and I'm tired. At least it's Friday.

Okay, if I finish processing these checks, I can go lie down and watch hockey. And, you know, have the money from the checks. C'mon motivation, this is the only thing I've asked of you all day. And I already broke the task up into smaller chunks and rewarded with ice cream halfway through.
Hmm. Now that I look at that, I see perhaps there was a small flaw in my motivational strategy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Parents, Go Figure: The Phone Call.
So, my mom calls me at work from Virginia and this is the entire conversation:
Mom: I know you're at work, but this is a business call. I need your help with something important.
Me: Okay. What's up?
Mom: (mumbling in background) I'm at Lorraine's (Note: a friend of hers who I have not seen in 30 years). Now, how do you get to Pasadena?
Me: How do I--Well, the 134, I think.
Mom: So, when you drive that way (more mumbling)do you pass Eagle Rock?
Me: No, but I have been by Eagle Rock.
Mom: I THOUGHT so! (very excited mumbling)
Me: Why?
Mom: Lorraine's granddaughter lives there!
Me: Oh.
Mom: Well, just wanted to check. I'll let you get back to work.

I have never ever gotten kids who try to invite themselves to a sleepover. Oh the hell no.

Oh Scrappy, that's pretty funny (and sorta frustrating!) I love that she told you it was a business call. My mom will call me at work to tell me a funny squirrel story, note that I see her every morning so really mom? Squirrels?

Oh, Sparky, I hope Sass gets found, and soon, and healthy.

Because books.
Oh, Sass. All fingers crossed, Sparky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yes, get home safe and sound, Sass!
