Wow, I just caught the second match of Clijsters v. Robson.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, good luck, brenda. I remember the brouhaha last year, and can't believe she's still there! Also, frankly, that your boss is telling you this stuff, with or without knowing you guys are friends outside of work.

Liese, so what did the bank people actually look at?

Go cousin !

Though, to be fair, it's oral allergy syndrome and is contained to the mouth, lips and throat without leading to a systemic type reaction, which includes hives, stomach upset and anaphylaxis among other symptoms. Though oral allergy syndrome can be quite uncomfortable, it isn’t life threatening on its own.

Right on -- I will continue to eat peaches (and avoid eggplant).

On a different note, breaking up is so damn awkward. Ugh. Especially if she calls you to talk about stuff right when you were thinking "I should get up and go pee" and so by the time you finally get off the phone you're like "PEE. MUST PEE NOW. OMG PEE"

I'm just saying.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, well. They lost in straight sets, but they did really well in the first set. It's so weird hearing the commentators say they don't know much about her, and that it's great seeing players out there so old (god, I remember her in diapers...). Still, that's the highest profile match she's ever played--being matched up against the Williamses meant grandstand.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's really wild, ita !.

Jesse, totally nothing. They shook my hand, walked in the office, and stood there looking around and filling out their paper. They asked if I had a security system and glanced at my locking file cabinet and asked if I had a shredder. And that was it, really.

And now I'm totally at the oil change place instead of goofing off. I am still being productive, wtf?

And I don't have a security system!

Fascinating.

That's super cool. Is your cousin as old as the Williamses? Because they are no spring chickens! (For professional athletes....)

Ugh, meara.

ION, I got a not-very-good haircut. The top layer is too short, so it's already Mrs. Brady mullet-y.

I told you to talk to Jon's FAQ!Wife who always has the cool haircuts for a local reference. But no! You wouldn't listen and now you've got a sad mullet of shame.

OTOH, you can always wear a cowgirl hat.
