I won't complain about the unseasonably mild but rainy weather. Dreary, to be sure.

Pumpkin is about as enthused as I am about getting up in the morning. She stays curled up on the pillows a good 5 minutes after I'm up and about, cracking just one sleepy eye at me. It amuses me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a hard time getting up, after waking up at 5 and going back to sleep, but then was in a panic about being late, so I'm at work even earlier than usual. I guess that's fine?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I've been reading about the heat in Australia in coverage of the Australian Open. They're cooling players down with ice vests.

Oh msbelle, I've been there.

My kids are motivated by minecraft. They got ready for school without a fight on the condition they can play minecraft for 5 minutes. Win-win? Or is that just capitulation?

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

Sounds like win win to me, Burrell.

You guys, I want to make buttermilk biscuits constantly until I get really good at it. That is reasonable, right?

I wholeheartedly endorse this plan. I am thinking about making butter in part so I can always have buttermilk.

The difference between a bribe and positive reinforcement is sometimes very subtle.

Amen.

I'm in the office today. Not sure why beyond the fact that I need to print out some color copies for a meeting tonight and my inkjet needs ink.

Oh, god, in all the mess, I forgot I still need to get a copy of my wedding license so I can renew my driver's license next month.
