Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

It's probably not the best time for me to do this considering that I just started a new job today, but I feel like I've been letting my brain atrophy. I signed up for two intro classes this fall:

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is a thing?!

...I've heard of the guy running it! He's an expert on feathered dinosaurs, done a fair bit of work in China.

Sorry your Allstate office are idiots. In terms of eggs, I'm with the egg lovers. I love poached and soft boiled which are the two eggiest eggs you can have. But I love highly spiced eggs too - omelettes or scambled with super hot hot sauce or curry powder. And in between like, omelettess with mild herbs and cheese. And all the other variations - you can pretty much assume that if eggs are the main ingredient, I like it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My DH is going to be getting back late from a trip on my bday next week, so I'm working late. Yay for working until 9 pm on my birthday.

That looks fun, shrift! I'm trying Duolingo, myself, for French. [link] I have it on my phone and can do my daily session while walking the cat. I've managed to be fairly consistent for about a month now, which is a self study record for me and languages.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for working until 9 pm on my birthday.

I don't think yay is what you were looking for there?

If I have a cold, I'm going to be so pissed. I woke up with a sore throat and maybe I'm a little congested, but so far I'm pretending it was from somehow sleeping with my mouth open? Not that this has ever happened before....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Calli, I've been doing Duolingo French too. I have not been as consistent as you, though. I work at it for a couple weeks, then slack off then come back to it. Do you think it would help or hinder being consistent to buddy up on it?

Science and cooking sounds fabulous!
