May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

setting aside the questions Jessica has posed, I think a more important question needs to be asked:

are you having to watch the prequels too? because there has to be some limits for the agony one should experience as a parent. You don't deserve this punishment. Are you a felon, Jessica?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Jessica - anything with citric acid in it will help neutralize the chlorine. When I was swimming daily I just got some bulk citric acid (dirt cheap), mixed it in a squeezy bottle with water and used that as a rinse btwn shampoo and conditioner. Smells way better than ultra swim.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I wonder how my new haircut will be in the water? I've never swum consistently enough to have chlorine problems, though.

So the SO is gone for an overnighter (he wrote a Thelonious Monk tribute piece for big band and it's being played tonight by T.S. monk, his son, as part of a college jazzfest back in New Mexico) and it's 2:30, and my hockey game is about to end and I'm already out of internets. TALK MOAR PEOPLE! Or, you know, I might be forced to clean my office and do my taxes. And we don't want that!

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

Vortex, while your correction is true, I don't think I can claim to have discovered that principal.

Eta: wow, on your SOs tribute song, Liese!

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

the medical expense are the only think kicking my refund up this year - I had adjusted my withholdings so I would not get a refund, so before medical and charitable donations it was $50, now inching up to $2k.

only wildcard at this point, I think is dependent care - that is next up.

I know! Isn't that cool? I'm so proud of him. It's called, "Well, You Oughta!" a play off of "Well, You Needn't."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really cool, Liese!

I have a cable company appointment for tomorrow, so of course my DVR seems to be working more or less correctly, so I can't decide if I should cancel or not.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday, Amy!

I am trying to grade, but I don't really have a brain right now. Oops.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't have a brain either. And I need it right now.

But oh well, I'm taking the time to totally own my bandwagon fandom. I haven't followed NCAA basketball all year, but hey, go Shockers!
