Before that, though, I read Seventeen pretty religiously. I *loved* the big thick back-to-school issue in the fall.
Oh yes! There was a cover with black and yellow plaid that is vividly in my head still. I subscribed probably from age 12 to 15.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am now moved into my new corner office. Which has a couch! And a window! Where I can See the "Hollywood" sign off in the distance if I stand up!

It startles me to hear of places closed on Mondays. I've always lived places where the standard is to be closed on Sunday, and visiting places where many things are open on Sunday is cognitive dissonance. "Wait, a public building open on a Sunday? And crowded?! What is this strange world!"

What's the best way to get permanent marker off a white desk besides white out? Magic eraser? Prayer?

Yeah, it sounds kind of nice that they are all external to you, Suzi.
Absolutely. I have tried everything in my power to help him - logic, incentives, punishments, and more. I'm done. Let the chips fall where they may. He is already upset just knowing this is coming and I'm trying so hard to not put "I told you so" on repeat.

I was actually just discussing the "closed on Mondays" phenomena this morning. Yeah, Mondays suck, so it must be super awesome to not have to work that day, but it's also frustrating to those who need your services to have to wait a whole day at the beginning of a normal work week to get done what needs getting done.

Good to hear.

The Huntington Museum/Library was/is closed on Mondays, and the staff was always very happy to have a day where they weren't tripping over tourists.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Suzi, this is one those parenting-is-hard! moments. I do hope the lesson sticks for him.
I am tired and listless and need to grade. Phooey.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Speaking of, Scrappy, wtf was happening this morning?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Oh dear Lord, one of my friends un-ironically referred to her dog as her furbaby on facebook today. Woman, you have an actual human child, who will probably be providing you with human grandchildren in the next few years!
