Bringing two topics together, I'm not a big fan of maple flavor either. Something astringenty about it. But I do regret being unable to bring the maple syrup given as a favor at a Toronto wedding over the border.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Because books.
I'm one of those sad people who grew up with Mrs. Butterworth, so real maple syrup tastes weird to me.
Why is everyone planning dinner for Thursday anyway?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Community is coming back!

My coworker and I are debating how early we can leave, since there is no one here to tell us to leave early.

There is also no one here to notice that we left early.

Because books.
I say go now, Sue. Especially if no one is there to notice.
Oh, Community! Right. I'm hanging on for Downton Abbey myself.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Maple syrup is not for me - the only time I use it is in place of brown sugar when cooking chili to counterbalance the bite.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Not a fan of maple anything, myself. Except the trees; they're lovely.

Love maple everything.
I do not have any new year's tradition foods. I am contemplating a 5K tomorrow.
Until this morning, there was a pile of papers and other stuff that had been on my desk since before I started. It's gone now.
That's very impressive! I'm hoping to do something similar with the stuff in my office/some of my home stuff. I had this thought of scanning a bunch of crap. We'll see.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Whew, cleaners are finally gone. Now I get to dirty the kitchen all over again preparing for NYE dinner with friends.
