If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm a 47 year old woman who just had poptarts for breakfast because that was what was in the vending machines, and sometimes getting myself up, dressed, and fed before work is just one thing too many.

Why do you think I work from home so much?

I am wearing flip flops and am in dire need of a pedicure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have grown to dislike my feet so much that I think that's why I haven't had a pedicure in years. When I just moved here, I was on the regular with them, and sandals all the time. But I resemble my mother in head and toe and now I'm just ignoring them.

You know, car ads are becoming pretty same same. Like, I have no idea why Subaru keeps saying nothing about their cars, just stuff about family--I don't feel like buying them, but I like that one dog. I don't remember what car goes with the peewee football game in the park, but I'm sure it's very relevant to tackling.

And I definitely can't remember which make talks about seeing your life flash before your eyes, but I'm pretty sure that's for the best.

Unrelatedly, more women in action roles should wear action soles. Come on, Burn Notice.

I'm wearing these [link]

I have several colors, and I wear them every day from as early as possible to as late as possible, season-wise. Most comfortable ever. And cheap. I think I would wear them if I were rolling in shoe money, too, though. Versatile, cute, and did I mention comfortable? Love them. And they last forever.

Need a pedicure, but it's way down on the list.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lee, your shoes are cute as hell!

Thank you! They are super comfy too.

The hotel I'll be staying at in Galveston has a spa, so I am going to treat myself to a half spa day package--body wrap, facial (which I haven't had in years), massage and pedicure. OMG I can't wait.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Stephen Colbert's 'Best Segment Ever' Will Make You Feel So Many Things

It's being called "perhaps the single best segment" to ever air on The Colbert Report. And with good reason, because it probably is.

In the latest installment of "People Who Are Destroying America," Stephen Colbert introduced his audience to Johnny Cummings, the openly gay mayor (and part-time hairdresser) of Vicco, Kentucky.

Both Cummings and Vicco were in the news earlier this year after passing a city-wide ordinance banning discrimination against LGBT residents, becoming the smallest city in America to do so.

In a piece that is heartwarming, hilarious, and hopeful all at once, the Report heads down to Vicco to see how the Appalachian town's "simple hillfolk" are reacting to Cummings' pro-gay policies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am falling asleep at my desk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I will be wearing two of these [link] with one of these [link] in black (shit I wish these [link] came in my size!) and one of these [link] in a little. I'm taking this afternoon off, and my yardie just cancelled the 12:30 I was cheating and taking anyway. If only my boss would reply to me! 25 minutes and counting down...

Now to complain to Zulily about the random clock they sold me. Hour hands are important, people!

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

Job ~ma for Steph and Kate P.!

I am barefoot and eating cupcakes from TJs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a relatively successful one-on-one with my boss, so I'm done for the week, right?
