'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I may have bought Mallomars at the store, and thought of Steph while I did it. Because I'm still sick and deserve a treat!

To me the "year round food" comment is funny because it was made by a smart person who was being logical while losing sight of the bigger picture. For me the personal moment that illustrates this is the time many years ago when I petted a clean, bouncy baby lamb and blurted out "It feels just like a sweater!"

not your mom's socks.

We had fun last night and the reading in east Baltimore was great. Sadly, we didn't get out in advance of the snow fast enough and decided, after some scary driving, to get off in Whitemarsh. Where we had a fender bender - no one hurt, but plans royally screwed up. Bills to follow. We cancelled AAA bc allstate had 'roadside assistance'. We are rapidly discovering the difference.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sox, glad you're all all right, but boo for messed-up plans!

Oh, yeah. Allstate keeps trying to sell me on their "roadside assistance plan". Nope. AAA has never let me down.

I do not know the "year round food" story.

Freezing rain. Pretty ice. Light snow. Staying inside.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I do not know the "year round food" story.

WAYYYYY back in the day (seriously, it was 2001), I was in New York and got to meet a huge contingent of Buffistas in person for the first time. So we all go out to brunch, and -- it was October -- talk turns to Mallomars, and the fact that they're *back* in the stores. And I was all "What do you mean, 'they're back'?" So they explain that Mallomars are only seasonal b/c the chocolate melts or something (which, it was the 21st goddamn century and air-conditioning exists in both stores AND delivery trucks, AND other chocolate foodstuffs are in stores year-round, so: POINT).

But I, because I am horrifically socially awkward and was nervous because I was meeting, like, 500 new people all at once, said, "Huh. In Ohio, we have food year-round."

t crickets

Apparently in New York, they do not. Foot, mouth. Hello, NYC-istas, nice to meetcha. Let me insult your regional food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad you're all OK, at least, Sox.

"It feels just like a sweater!"

I bet it did! Heh.

Oh, Sox. Maybe you can go nap in the IKEA? I totally forgot about your reading last night, damnit.

It's really coming down now (somehow even heavier!) so I hope you just hole up. I can't imagine 95 getting much better today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's kind of a relief. I thought it was part of the show and that was really disturbing.

Ha! There may be other productions in town to try pushing boundaries like that but this one is considered sacrosanct by far too many people.

For any other show those are the star dressing rooms, so I end up with people like Diane Lane asking me for office supplies.

Going to go see if the pool is open. If nothing else, a scenic walk!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I wish I'd gone to bed earlier so I would have gotten up earlier and finished my shopping before it started snowing. But nooo, now I have to trudge around in the snow.
