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.

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

That sounds about right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My current strategy for getting through the day (at least while no one else is in the office - YAY THANK YOU) is to do one task, then look through one page of random Pinterest. It is much more enjoyable than straight work.

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

Once it gets below five degrees out, our office furnace can't keep up, and for every degree it gets lower outside it's also a degree lower inside. So it's probably 50 in the office considering it's -14 out. So I told my boss I'm not coming in today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is the office open?? That is crazy.

I didn't hear anything from my boss so I don't know.

'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"

This seems to be the part of the broken bone experience where it aches and vaguely itches no matter what you do to keep it still.

A drop or two of laudanum would go over nicely about now.

I went to TJs on Saturday and bought a couple of jars of coconut oil. 1 for cooking and 1 to experiment as a moisturizer like was being discussed (here or bitches?) anyway, just one night putting it on my lips before bed and they are much much better. so YAY!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I almost (but not quite) feel guilty at our balmy weather here in SF.

After I dropped Matilda off at school I ran all the steps at Kezar Stadium before I came back upstairs. Gotta move my body more this year and so far so good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's actually quite warm here (54), but it's pouring rain so it doesn't feel very warm. It's supposed to drop back down to 10 tonight.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The first CO TJ's opens on Valentine's Day but it is up in Boulder. I will have one within a few miles of home at some point in this year, they just haven't announced the date yet.

We have snow on the ground and have already reached today's forecast high of 17. I should turn on the fire...but then I'd have to move from under my blankets.
