When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Honestly, now all you need is someone to sign it and a couple of witnesses

In Ohio, you don't actually need witnesses. The souvenir marriage license has 2 lines for witnesses to sign, but it's not the real license anyway.

Ohio is a little sketchy.

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

Ha! That's even better.

We had, like, eight witnesses sign our Ketubah, but the official license was witnessed by a couple of Temple Sinai's employees because they were around and that way it didn't have to be a whole production. Still on our wedding day, but before the ceremony and people were still getting ready and whatnot. It was kind of a nice moment, just me and DH and Rabbi Cohen and a couple of strangers in an office, and it was official.

Apropos of nothing except my dinner: I am so grateful to whatever hero discovered the bizarre deliciousness that is blue cheese.

I can't even laugh at this because I really empathize though the man is off the chain. I probably have been that angry. I have not lost it like this though.

The grammar check in Word is suggesting I change "bear his child" to "BARE his child."

Go home, Word. You're drunk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Now I'm going to read instructions.

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

Go home, Word. You're drunk.

And kind of skeevy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The person I'm training said "I just feel like we're so screwed when you leave."

She's so sweet.
