To get on my shuttle, I have to leave my desk at 5:00 (latest) and run straight down. But then I can be home in 10-20 minutes, so I usually just pee when I get home. But tonight I meant to walk home, and forgot! So I was outside, in time for the shuttle, and had to pee. So I didn't walk. La-Z.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I saw on some cooking show that ketchup was originally fish sauce
Oh, I've heard that! That the name was kind of universally applied to any condiment but mostly meant a pickled fish sauce like, uh, Thai fish sauce. I'm sure that has another name. And how it came to mean the sweetened tomatoey thing was kind of complicated. I want to say I read about it in Salt, hence the emphasis on pickling.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
When we checked into the hotel on our wedding night, H told the concierge, "My girlfriend's parking the car."
Which, you know, I'd never have known had he been less enough mortified not to confess. It does take a while. Plus, "husband" is such an odd word. Looks funny, sounds funny in the mouth. Implies caring for livestock of some--or all--types. Guy, fella, other half, lotsa euphemisms I like better. I'm not overly fond of "wife" either, with its load of being part of the household goods. Or I could just be cranky this afternoon.

I get very pissy when people call me Hubby's "better half." I'll be his other half, but I won't be better. (I reminded him today, while perturbed with him, that if he keeps saying "I don't deserve you," that one day I may agree with him.)

I brought Devi's ashes home tonight. :/ Yes, it requires an emoticon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I jokingly call Beau my better half. I think it is supposed to be endearing, not insulting!

Part of the wrench of moving was the little graveyard out under the old plum tree. I'm sorry Sara.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Aww, sara, that's hard.

I actually think "fiancé(e)" sounds weird as applied to him and me, though that could be somewhat to do with being BF/GF for 7 years. But I am looking forward to being able to yell "Husband!" out the back door to get his attention. And he is welcome to call me his old lady if he so desires.

Yes, it's supposed to be.
