Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm guessing that doesn't mean take you to Dairy Queen.
That was my first reaction too. Mandatory banana splits.

There's one in the Santa Anita mall (and the Burbank mall too)

The DQ in the town my grandparents lived in in Texas had THE BEST breakfast tacos.
I made rhubarb syrup yesterday and now Bob's making G&Ts with it and really good Scottish gin. It seems like a good idea!

So today was my last day off work. Ten days after the surgery. I did a load of laundry, sent some email, walked the dog around the block. Did the dishes. And I'm exhausted. I took an hour-long nap before lunch.
How on earth am I going to function at work tomorrow? Can I hide under my desk for an hour at noon?

DQ does sound kinda good. Always makes me think of Waiting for Guffman.
Rhubarb G&T otoh sounds AMAZING
Can I hide under my desk for an hour at noon?
I say yes. I told my cubicle neighbor the other day I'd cover for her if she needed to crawl under her desk and nap but she didn't take me up on it.
So, I picked up my new sunglasses after work (I love them, they are sharp and clear and polarized and dark and yay!) and then went for a run wearing my regular distance glasses because I have a problem with my brain being missing. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am that point in the process for like 3 different home projects, Jesse.
Good times.
Can I hide under my desk for an hour at noon?
Totally.

Cocktail is delicious!
We are introducing the kittens to the dog now. I'm sitting on the kitchenfloor with the cute tiny growlers and CB is on the other side of the baby gate being worried and intermittently barking.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
erin, thanks for the link--and the warnings, which were spot on. I had read the article on another forum, and had to back away from most coversation about the subject for a day or so. I'm participating again, in a self-limited fashion. The ugliness is just too overwhelming.
Kittens is good. I heartily approve of kittens.
