Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know each component of that sentence is false, but knowledge is really useless sometimes.

Yes. But keep knowing it, please.

YAY Grace! Amazing.

I just saw that they are hiring at an organizing called the Harry Potter Alliance. Um, OK.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, Grace!

Mine have been longer and worse since I went off the pill.

Longer and worse than before you were on the pill or than when you were on the pill? Because, oh, I miss the easy days of strictly regulated hormonal contraception.

Longer and worse than when I was on the pill. I think they're about the same as they were before I went on the pill, but that was so long ago I had forgotten how awful they used to be and all the added stomach upset that went along with them.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What I know about dahlias is that they're tender perennials and featured in one of my favorite quotes:

My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias. - William Allen White

That's wonderful about Grace, but she has always struck me, at this distance, as a very determined child.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A nifty idea for Halloween cookies:

Melting Wicked Witch of the West Cookies

eta: These are cool too:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Cupcakes

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The caption on those cookies cracked me up:

They humorously look like little green-faced Wicked Witch of the Wests that have been doused with buckets of water.

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

There are similar cookies made to look like melting snowmen with large marshmallows as heads.

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

I'm melting! In your mouth...not in your hands...

I'm doing a muffin side-by-side, and I'm sadly at my limit of being able to tell which spices are the difference between them. I mean, I can taste it, but I can't describe it or name it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That would be a lot easier to create.

I wonder if the make green marshmallows?

I can't decide whether I'm annoyed with the woman who always turns off the bathroom light because it is annoying to walk into a pitch black bathroom and fumble for the light or if it is because she's one of these people who is ostentatiously virtuous/green/upstanding.
