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

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

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!

WAS NOT. I was not the one going off to do Activities as ass o'clock in the morning.
