Because books.

I have to go get some -- I was running late this morning or I would have stopped. I've never actually had the kind you had, but I assume that's what the bakery will have. I expect to commence sugar bliss shortly.

Sue, I'm so sorry about the trip so far. What a mess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So apparently Adele gave Chris Brown what-for after he didn't stand for Frank Ocean. Seriously, is anyone better than Adele?? [link]

NO ONE is better than Adele. I adore her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jelly-filled is common, too. I got ones that were red raspberry-filled, black raspberry-filled, cheese-filled, and custard-filled. My co-workers are all starting to bounce off the walls. Chatty co-worker made up a paczki song.

Our wings are not tired.

Would really love to know what she said to him. She is awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Would really love to know what she said to him.

Something in the "You're being a right twat!" mode.

We have King Cake at the office. Boring Publix grocery store variety, but cake nonetheless.

I just ate half of a leftover donut from yesterday in honor of Mardi Gras. So that was fun.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Go Adele! (BTW, I love her voice, but then I love almost any female singer who doesn't sound like she's trying to be 8 years old.)

I didn't realize I was pronouncing paczki all wrong.

FWIW, I do believe in acupuncture for some things -- it seems reasonable to me that the mild irritation on certain nerves could send interfering feedback to the spinal cord that might correct/encourage the body's own healing or pain-handling processes.

A while back I heard a doctor being interviewed about new innovations in tissue-rejection drugs, and he said, "We were wrong to try and obliterate the immune system. What we should have been doing was to seduce it." Sometimes what you want is not to fight the body but to get it to work with you, which is why we're seeing now that medicine is paying more attention to things like helpful bacterial in the gut and sinuses.

That's why I brew my own kombucha. I have a GI tract from hell, and conventional probiotics weren't helping me enough, so I went with bacteria tea.
