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

one of the reasons sports are so sacred to me is that it's one of the rare outlets in life where I can just be INSANE about whatever - grudges, DH, asshole players, perceived slights, and it doesn't matter.

Ahhhhh...yes, this. Completely this. Thank you for putting it into words.

Had my second to last karate class until April/May. Finally called my dad to let him know about the surgery and the move.

Our wings are not tired.

I love going to Cubs/Brewers games for this reason--they're the only time I ever yell stupid insults at people.

A great reason for sure. We love to see games if possible when traveling to get to see the best/worst of the locals. Good times.

Finally called my dad to let him know about the surgery and the move.

How did it go?

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

"Resumed" the mission while I was making dinner, so I got to hear all the story stuff, and it appears that the app did record my actual run, so all is well for my zombie training.

Also, the salad I just had seems to have been enough food. I did not really expect that.

He was actually very supportive of both. He made a point to remind me not to purchase moving boxes. Which I don't want to do, but if needed, I will.

This snow, it's so cold, is the consistency of sand. But lighter. Which makes shoveling a completely frustrating endeavor. Brooms work and then the wind...

I love going to Cubs/Brewers games for this reason

That's a good example because almost nothing is of less consequence than a Cubs/Brewers game.

I haven't given any of my money to Exxon since '89, because I still hold a grudge about the way they handled the Valdez spill.

Sometimes not buying boxes is a false economy. If you're packing something like books, identical boxes really speed up the process.

Ginger, I'm also expecting to move again, so they wouldn't be a single use purchase.

For books, I recommend going to a liquor store and using wine/booze bottles. They are sturdy and thick, and they are a small enough size so that they are not too heavy when they are filled with books

I think Vortex means the boxes the bottles came in. And I second the idea.
