I got the Google Doodle! I credit the crossword app on my phone. But I did get some wrong and had to go back and fix them...
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That Google Doodle was fun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Thanks guys, it was really fun! Kind of a clusterfuck in terms of how it was organized, but fortunately it wasn't crowded so we didn't wait long. They have a camera on a curved track that takes a high speed 1-second video (and they spray you with fake snow and give you fake snowballs to play with). If we'd wanted to wait longer we could have chosen a different soundtrack but we were all getting pretty hungry at that point (and also remembered after some consideration that, oh yeah, we're all professional video editors...we can probably figure out how to do that ourselves).

Ginger, did you steal my credit card and set up a secret lair?
Congratulations. You've been chosen to pay the rent on the Batcave.
I'd only suspect Mr Peabody if it was a charge for 24-7 walks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
oh, msbelle, I'm so sorry about your Grandma, and I feel for mac so hard -- I was 12 when my beloved grandfather died, and I remember screaming and kicking and refusing to go to the funeral and refusing to be comforted for days. You're a good mom.
I was out shopping for six hours and I did not hear LDB! Amazing. I did hear Winter Wonderland four or five times, but luckily I like that one.
It was 60degF today! And it's gonna be 70 tomorrow! Ridic, but pleasant. Of course, the days I'll be at my sister's, sleeping above the garage in the coldest room in the house, THOSE days it's gonna barely get above freezing. Jolly!
Six hours shopping, Marshall's, BigLots, Sears, TJMaxx, Lowes, JoAnne's, Target, long way home to avoid traffic in construction area, collapse. I'm ready for the holidays to be over, and they haven't even really started yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Holidays started at Thanksgiving, the latest!
My cousin gave me a free week of this thing, where they send you all the ingredients to make dinner. [link] It's kind of amazing -- I wouldn't buy it for myself, but I also have never (until tonight) had halibut with tamarind-brown butter sauce, two veg, and two kinds of roasted nuts on top! Fancy.

I just hugged a coworker on her way out for vacation. I mean, she started it, but I went along!
I don't even know who you are anymore!

No! Jesse! Don't give in to hugging. AVOID THE HUG.
