I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Do they still dress for dinner on cruises? It strikes me that that would be more fun with buffistas than just about anyone.

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

I am trying to decide if groceries now and inside all of tomorrow is sensible, or writing off today, because....enh, and try again tomorrow?

At least I get to write a status report that says "You guys are sitting on the next step." Yes, maybe I should have realised the next step would be yours sooner, but...there are only so many ways I can say that the people upgrading to the 2008-compatible version of our software need you to install 2008 on the servers. It's the really obvious part of the project plan. I don't understand why people don't understand this needs to be done.

Okay--I don't watch Scandal so much as I have it on when I'm doing other things, and I AM CONFUSED. Two things--is Olivia in a cabal with the President's wife? Whut??? And Whiskey isn't really whiskey, is it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I went on a cruise a few years ago, sit-down dinner was no jeans, no sneakers, I think. Most people wore sundresses or polo shirts with khakis. There were one or two designated formal nights. If you didn't want to dress for dinner, there was also a casual buffet dining room, where the only rule was you had to be wearing shoes, and if you had on a bathing suit, then you had to be wearing something over it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The first cruise I went on (with Buffistas!), there was a couple who put on their fancy denim overalls for dinner.

Apparently so and I'm pretty sure Whiskey in that context was killing people.

That's what I thought, sarameg. And I'm not entirely sure whether everyone (or just her) in the room got it too.

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

Bailey is like the calmest dog in the world right now. I hope crating for bedtime goes as well.

Go Bailey, go!

Yay Bailey!

So Santa Claus (IND-Nevada) is listed as one of the write in candidates for President on my ballot.

(I'm planning on voting tomorrow, so marking up my sample.)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Cruise ships are big enough that you can get away....from people, at least. In my experience.

This is true! I know because I was with Jesse and she was trying to get away from us.

This just in: Grace lost her first tooth. Of course her teeth are so jacked up from lack of eating that it doesn't look super weird . I am not ready for this!
