And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

You might want to kill, Erin, but just think--your garage IS CLEAN!!!! Or will be, once you have the sale.

Happiest birthdays to all of you celebrating! I donated blood and now feel tired and woozy. Or woozier than usual.

Lake effect snow blows.

At lunch they included avocado fries with my salad. Heaven!

The garage IS clean, and I will take after pic. I will I'd taken before, but hell, all you have to do is watch an episode of Hoarders to get the before pic.

Thanks, guys. I'm just taking a 15 minutes iced tea and wash hands break. Encouragement is good!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having irritated little forays into work. Like, I needed to cut paychecks, but the checkbook is in Dave's car. In New Mexico. Where there are no National Banks of Arizona. I have the cash bag. Which he needs to put his travel receipts in. Aargh. Minor, but annoying.

Ok, back to The Pile. Another fifteen minutes, and then I can go outside and garden. And then shower. And then pick up my friend and head to the ladies' thing.

Okay, I didn't know avocado fries existed, and now I cannot be happy until I have some.

Or until I paint my nails. I'll probably be happy then.

Okay, okay, I'm working!

Liese, they are delish. Seriously delectable.

Stupid autocorrect.

Avocado fries sounds AWESOME.

You know what else sounds weird but are OMG amazing? Chickpea frites. Fried in duck fat. Had 'em at restaurant we went to for our anniversary, and they are cracktastic.

I donated blood

Me, too! I don't think they had a big turn out here at work--I was the only one in the room at noon. At least I thought to make sure my sleeve would roll up enough to get to the arm (I forgot to do that when we got our flu shots a few weeks ago).

I just got a research request forwarded to me by my new boss ten minutes ago, and I can't find the bill in either of the sites. I asked the editor for further info, but I'm only waiting another few minutes for her to get back to me--it's after 5:00, and she's probably gone already.
