I might've gotten mine at a dollar store. Ain't fancy, that's for sure.

Because books.

You can always use a gallon plastic bag and cut one corner off, too.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I've hit the point again where I need to speak to my ED about my boss. I haven't had anxiety dreams about work since the evil ED. And I dream about punching new boss lady in the face and filling her mouth with gravel. And TMJ migraines on top if that have put me at the end of my tether. I'm thinking that the only way we can work, short of firing me or her, is to strip her of her directorship and making her admin only and transferring everything else to me.

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

I found that to be very difficult. Might be easier if you already know what you are doing with a pastry bag?

Also, mac & cheese is in the oven. I feel quite accomplished.

Because books.

That's true, -t. And it might depend on what you're squeezing, too. I just always grab them in a pinch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

OTOH, it's warm enough to bring the avocados out of the greenhouse

Having just spent another day in the polar vortex, I'm having trouble conceiving this as being possible.

Meanwhile,on Twitter... Orlando Jones and William Shatner are throwing down over GISHWHES.

From Shatner: @TheOrlandoJones yer outta your league Orlando... Just think the Enterprise with Crane at the helm. It's too much to overcome.

I just can't even. Universes colliding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I prefer disposable pastry bags you don't have to clean, and do think they are easier (if probably more expensive) than ziplocs, but I am no pastritician.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is GISHWHES?

Weird commute this morning -- my subway and bus were so empty, I was starting to wonder if it is a holiday I didn't know about, but then an intersection I cross was backed up way more than usual. Is it National Drive To Work Day??
