Yes, Jesse, that!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like does "rounded to millions of dollars with one decimal place" make sense?

Yeah, it does. But it might be easier/clearer to give an example? "For example, if the value is $1,234,567, note it as $1.2 million."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think someone broke all the coffee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Thank heavens I am friends with a bunch of ants, because I am a total grasshopper WRT to this storm. I did manage to get gas this morning, but I'm probably going to be at work the whole day and there won't be a stale pack of cheese crackers left by the time I get to the stores.

Thanks, Jesse ! That is what I've done.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

msbelle, on FB this morning (I think) Laura said it seemed like power was out at her office, but all was well at home.

Is Laura still WAY out of town? I forget where she goes in the summer -- Maine? Upstate New York? Something like that. But she can work remotely, so I assumed from her FB post that she was still in her non-Florida area but couldn't work remotely because of power outages from the storm.

I do not know what you mean, but I like the turn of phrase.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I needed fried food goodness for lunch again, negating the Wii Fit I did yesterday by like a gagillion. oh whell.

I am forcing myself to get the work done I need to, but I really just want to leave and get a manicure. IS THAT SO WRONG?!?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank heavens I am friends with a bunch of ants, because I am a total grasshopper WRT to this storm.

I love this turn of phrase!

I am watching Weather Channel constantly and worrying for my friends and their families and pets in the path of the storm. May Isaac turn out to be "just" a TS.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have my meeting with the SO's trainer this evening, and I am freaking terrified. But I am trying to live a new life. I've been pretty consistent with getting up earlier and getting to bed earlier, although I still zonk out in the afternoon, whether or not I actually nap. Which is not good because that will be the time I need to be at my peak for afterschool, but we'll see how the routine settles in once we're actually in school.

Right now I am drowning (drowning, I tell you!) in receipts, but I have not heard from the bank yet, so I am plugging away. Sometimes I feel optimistic about it, and sometimes I feel like it will never ever ever end.

But otoh, usually I never get to this part, prior to the school year.
