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

There aren't deaths that make people deader, but "hit and run leaving a Veterans' Day function" does an extra thing to my gut.

not if you don't have a soda stream.

I've only become re-obsessed with it recently, but I've been drinking True Lemon for six years now. There's no soda stream dependency.

On the phone with the CIO, and she leads off with "One of the things I've heard is that ita ! hasn't done XYZ." Thanks guys. My boss thinks that it's all under control, but I'm still alone on the call, effectively, and our business user is now officially, over our heads, in an antagonistic position with all of us, and I've been nurturing that relationship since I showed up here. FUCK.

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

No need to put sparkly Sparky wishes in that bitter depressed post.

Happy natal!

Today I need to make a final crinoline decision, and I'm having a horrible time pulling the trigger.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy birthday Sparky!

I am so wiped y'all. Shortbread cookies are cooling, the pie is in the oven, pecans are spiced and packed, lentil salad mise en place are placed, hair dye is in.

That means I have two and a half hours to pack the car, wash the dye out, get dressed, pick the kids up from school and daycare and get on the road. Oh, and make car sandwiches. Oh, and eat lunch. Maybe. I've done too much cooking to be hungry but it's probably not a good idea to drive 300 miles on an empty stomach...

Yikes, Jessica. That sounds exhausting.

I made my first call and happily the doctor will be able to do what I need. One hurdle crossed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gift idea:

Harry Potter Quidditch Necklace - Neatorama

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lee is a taunting taunter who taunts.

You have met me before, right?

I was very good and put all the you stuff in the trunk of my car, so now all I have to do is remember to mail it.

You can do it, Sparky!

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

I finished making cornbread. Next step is squash and chestnut casserole. After that, trim the green beans for the green bean casserole, which will be made tomorrow.
