Poach them sugar and water and put them over ice cream?
Not a bad idea.
I have the Apricot Dark and Stormy popsicles in the freezer now, too.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
So happy to hear your news, ita !

Our wings are not tired.
The very best thing in the world is to log onto this board and see news of ita !'s mom's and Ginger's health improvements! So very relieved and happy-making!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That's excellent news, ita !.

Thrive to spite them
I really want to get my hair cut but the only styles I like are the ones I don't think will be flattering.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita !, so glad for the good news about your mom!
Just found out my company is switching our email client from Lotus Notes to Gmail in October. I don't know whether to be happy or not. Lotus has some distinct problems, but it's always *there*. Gmail seems to disappear too often for my comfort.
Nothing to do but crank up the AC, set taste buds to "margarita," and ride it out.
Calli, I'm cravenly stealing "set taste buds to margarita". Just so you know.

Apricot dark and stormies sound amazing. Omg.
I am annoyed by my work and giving up on pleasing anyone. Which means I end up on phone calls saying "no. (pause, pause, pause...) was there anything else?". But seriously people, I can't do the impossible, I won't kill myself to try, and the more you ask for it in non- emergency circumstances, the less likely I am to even mildly put myself out, trying. Much less the ridiculous amount of effort it would take to do what you want. You're paying me well, but not well enoug for 80 hour weeks when it's not even that urgent.

Thanks for the good thoughts, folks.
I gave up on the day and came home, after telling my boss I felt "crappy". Which is entirely true.
And then I slept for an hour and now I'm still cranky but the new Where the Hell is Matt video made me cry and cheered me up a bit, so that's something.
I suspect I'm going to bail on climbing tonight: I'm not fit for human company, and it will be my last solitary evening until Monday.

Because books.
Consuela, if I could send you a Dark and Stormy popsicle, I would. But I'm not sure they're fully frozen yet, so I haven't even tried one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My mom brought me birthday apricots from her tree and I got about ten of them home. So delicious. But I am not going to do anything with them besides nom. Birthday apricots are the best. Mmmmm, apricots.
But seriously people, I can't do the impossible
I got one of those things asked in a family tech support situation.
My uncle wants something for his computer which I swear I told him that the hardware would NOT support last month. He's going to keep asking, I know it. And he can't explain what he wants so it ends up with a computer sitting in front of me and not being able to be a magician. Which tends to be not awesome. Oh well.
