I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

2.25 miles done (usually 2 miles + 7 mixed laps. Except I swam an extra 2, and hey, that's another quarter mile!) empanada consumed and now I shall put on grubby clothes and tent the staircase!

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We are on a bread baking kick in this house. No-knead bread is currently rising on the counter.

Franny is watching some age-appropriate show for tweens on how to negotiate a win-win scenario. Weird.

Happy birthday, Suzi!

On the phone front, I have a 3s and want a new phone, and want to switch to Verizon while I'm at it.

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

I knew ours were close, Suzi. Happy birthday! Are you doing anything, or postponing celebration til you are more mobile?

There's something that only works on the newer phones that I want, though right now I can't remember what it is. Probably an exercise app, those are what I'm most gung ho about right now.

Because books.

Happy birthday, Suzi, with cake and lots of hugs! I hope it's a good day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aren't you glad I decided to share my exciting life?

I am! I need everyone's mundaneness this week!

In my own news, I reorged the SO's studio while he was on tour. He may hate me for it when he comes home but I think he'll be happy. It's one of those "oh yeah, and then" projects, though, because having gotten it physically straightened out, I now want to make it all technically more usable. So I was going to chill at home all day today but I'm totally going to have to hit RadioShack...oh, and crap, the music store will be closed today. Woes. Okay, that'll have to be a Monday trip. Bleargh. Maybe I'll do both on Monday instead.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy birthday, Suzi!

I'm sure there's a catch but I haven't worked out what it is.

Upgrade fee from Verizon and you usually pay tax on the full retail price.

Which mostly just ticked me off enough that I did an insurance replacement of my 4 instead of upgrading like I'd planned. But I admit it was purely because they annoyed me, not that it actually saved me any money beyond being way past my contract.

Punishingly Intricate

I need to figure out how to start the work week with a better attitude. I'm so anxious and upset about it right now. I need to figure out how to turn my outlook around because there's really nothing much I can do to change the situation. I feel both like I've been betrayed by my work colleagues and like maybe I did a shitty job. So I can't even use righteous anger to fuel searching for another job because, right now, I'm like "who'd want me." feh.
