Huh. I didn't know Bernadette Peters was Italian-American.
She totally fooled me with the red-headed Bernadette biz.

Dippin' dots! Ice cream of the future. There's a vending machine at the mall.
Uh, we were talking about shelf stable ice cream the other day?
Yeah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Commute, down the stairs, the main reason I'm still with my company.
Never paid anyone to do my taxes. Since the year I bought my house, I've used TurboTax.
eta the rest of the sentence my phone wouldn't let me type.

I once overheard two girls who looked to be about 10 talking about Dippin' Dots. One said, "They say this is the ice cream of the future." The other said, "I hope not."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I love that i can still free file with H&R block (via the IRS freefile website). Ok, slightly bummed that I'm still below the income threshold to qualify for free filing, but even with itemized deductions my one W2 single state returns were done in less than an hour at no cost to me at all with significant returns from both fed and state. Woot.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
my current commute is 2.5 miles each way and I can be door to door in less than 10 minutes consistently. It's one of the reasons I bought a house where I did, for the shortest possible commute. Worst case scenario I can walk if driving is impossible due to miserable road conditions (since 911 doesn't care that my wee honda civic gets beached on large snowdrifts so I can't call in snowed) and in nice weather I can bike to work in a reasonable amount of time. Much better than the year I was living in San Diego and commuting to Costa Mesa in an 86 volvo with no AC, radio, or working tape deck. Those were really miserable commutes, especially for the 8am TYA calls.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just read a great phrase. "The kind of day that makes summer seem like a rumor."

That sounds familiar.

Right now the concept of sleep feels like a rumor. Worked a 14 hour day, read for an hour and then crawled in bed and just. can't. fall. asleep. So now I'm wandering the internet and will try again in a bit. Blech.

And that's it for my part-time job. Next year in Jerusalem.
I hope you can get some sleep, Suzi.
