Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Yay brenda and Suzi, those are some nice attaboys (is there a gender-neutral version of that?)

Man, I suddenly do not feel good. Time to make use of my company's liberal work-from-home policy.

Is that even legal???

I'm not sure about sending it out, but it's not legal to have booze shipped into the state.

A bottle of real, full octane Jameson's is not cheap in a Utah liquor store. The state pretty much doubles the price, what with taxes.

Unless he went to Wyoming, in which case he's sending you bootlegged booze.

So full sized salad from Panera, not enough to fill me up. ugh. so of course then I eat the chocolate croissant that I was hoping would be a late afternoon snack. Now I have no snack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Panera salads are bullshit.

They really are. Not making that mistake again. I can buy the bags of salad mix with all the stuff for 1/5 of the price and just eat it out of the bag at my desk. stoopid.

Panera sandwiches are also overpriced, but at least they are filling! I get so angry every time I have a salad from there. (NB: Lettuce will never be a filling lunch.)

Because books.

The baked potato soup is delicious, though.

I am trying to lose size though. I get protein on my salad, but I want more lettuce, like a giant bowl of lettuce. I guess that is what I am having for dinner tonight, I need to cook up some beans so I can add them to salads for easy cheap protein. I also need to magically lose inches and that is not happening.

I also enjoy the broccoli-cheddar soup. And actually, I haven't had any of their "power" salads -- they have chickpeas and whatnot and spinach. I bet that's worth the $$.

Annoying!
