Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My decoration, Jesse!!! Glad to see it's still flying!

I always think of you! OK, this year I don't think of you every single time, but that's because I see it every day! Which is awesome.

I wouldn't use the colon and comma, that seems overkill to me.

IT IS SO ON, BITCH. Bring it. I will fend you off with my colon.

Wait. That doesn't sound right.

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

I would go with an m-dash or colon. But I find the longer I teach, the less I correct individual grammar errors in student papers. There's usually bigger fish to fry. Speaking of which, I should get back to grading.

(Tim was reading over my shoulder and just asked, "Did you just threaten meara over punctuation? Isn't that...excessive?"

"You should read the conversations about muffalettas," I said.)

Yay for good news, Scrappy. Here's hoping your mother has a good recovery.

Put out a box filled with straw. It's like home.

I got some hummus, but maybe straw also.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That "usually" is fucking everything up, which is why no punctuation is good.
