Yes, I'll leave this one in my bag. The issue last week was I changed bags last-minute and didn't put it in. And clearly "oak" meant "pack". Crazy iPhone (it also always autocorrects "so" to "do", which I don't get)
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought Mormonism was his moral center, but I now doubt that too. Harry Reid has thrown a lot of shade Romney's way about what true Mormons believe.
I have no idea why I would defend Mittens in any way, BUT: I know a lot of people whose moral code is defined by their Catholicism, but not in any way the Vatican would approve of.

I probably should clarify that it's only been eight days since I last had a cigarette, and the honey badger lurks.

Good for you, shrift!
Annoying stupid work thing: I was drafting a letter from a VP, like you do. In the letter, I said "my office will follow up." My boss changed it to say the VP's assistant's name. I always leave it vague, because I might be the person doing the follow up, not the assistant, but I guess let an exec assistant do her job, right? So since we sent the letter out last week, the assistant no longer works here, and now I'll be doing the follow up. Just like I thought might happen and made allowances for in my language that they made me change! ISTG.

Oh man - DH just pointed out over IM that if we wind up with an Electoral College tie we could have Romney as President and Biden as Veep. Which would be hilarious if Biden agrees to stand behind Romney at all press events muttering "bullshit" under his breath. (And by hilarious I mean terrifying and utterly damaging to the US's reputation as a country to be taken seriously anywhere else in the world.)
A co-worker and I were talking about this earlier and we both agree that Presidential candidates should have to prove they can pass the US citizenship test before they are allowed on the ballot. After last night, I'm fairly sure Romney would be disqualified.

I dunno -- the questions they had in Parade magazine a few weeks ago were pretty easy. Edit: [link]

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