Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fuck cancer, man.

Speaking of massages, though, I just had to cancel my poor mother's appointment for Friday because of the damn shingles! Poor boo.

Because books.

Jesus, Suzi. I'm so sorry. Fuck cancer indeed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Very sorry, Suzi.

Judge Shelby opted not to put a stay on marriages in Utah (not surprising as he issue the first ruling, I guess). So now the 10th District Court has to weigh in. In the meantime, gay marriages for all who want them!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Utah's AG's request for a stay of the same-sex marriages that are currently taking place has been denied. Though my own county's County Clerk is refusing to issue licenses because he wants to see what the next judicial jurisdiction up says to the request for a stay that's heading to Denver now. Other County Clerk office are swamped.

The state's argument for the stay: the people getting married will have their lives harmed when their marriages are invalidated when the state finally gets its way and can stop this outrage from continuing. So because the state cares about those families' pain, they want to stop them from getting married.

Oh thank goodness -- some people are already sneaking out of the office. It's a fine line between sitting around not-working and looking like a slacker when you have no reputation to rest on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We were sent home an hour early through the benevolence of our Director, hooray! Now if this headache would just go away I could enjoy the holiday. Although being home with a headache is already better than being at work with a headache.

I just picked up my car from the shop. Almost three thousand dollars of damage but I just had to pay a $500 deductible.

The damage was confined to the bumper and grill, plus a radiator bracket.

I live in the most conservative part of Utah, where the County Clerk is refusing to grant any marriage licenses. I've been slightly nervous of local reactions.

But across the cubicle wall, a girl is saying, "Oh, my sister got married today!" "She was able to get in?" said another girl. "Yes, we heard about it on Friday, but she and Susan couldn't get to the office in time. I'm so sad I missed it, it's so sweet!"

My neighbors can pleasantly surprise me.
