If she only knew how hard it is for college comp teachers to retrain students to drop the "plethora" and just write "many."
Oh, I know. I used to give my students a list of ways to simplify words.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
But plethora is so satisfying! And then you know I'm smart! Harumph.
I went to the thing. I enjoyed myself. It's annoying when social anxieties turn out to be unwarranted. Heh.
Anyway, now if only I can shut my brain off enough to sleep. I'm already a half hour past my stated bedtime.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And surely the best way to quantify one's holdings of piñatas.

OMG, am I the first person to SQUEEEEEEEEE at VW's news!
That's a GREAT reason to be up too damn early!
CONGRATULATIONS! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU AND HIM!
Happy happy, joy joy!!!
(And girl, you have any Lawrence-based showers, I'd best get an invite. Um. That was rude. But in an exited way! Or let me take you to lunch or something!)

Awww...thanks, Erin! I couldn't be more ecstatic. Really. I keep wondering when I'm gonna stop grinning and squeeing and giggling like a little girl. I kinda hope never.
I doubt there will be any Lawrence-based showers, but there may be some Lawrence-based planning, since my SIL will be planning the wedding. So, we'll definitely do lunch!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I have guests coming over for dinner tomorrow, but honestly, with flylady, the house is not in that bad shape. I would be doing entry/dining/front porch this weekend anyway, and that's pretty much all that needs doing.
Damn, you people are really making me consider checking out FlyLady again. (God knows I need to be more disciplined about cleaning more than the dishes and laundry on a regular basis.)
