Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Don't even TALK about handwritten thank-yous. I have a pile just staring at me, for the wedding. And since I'm still technically unemployed (the AMA job doesn't start until mid-October), I have no problem writing them all, since Tim is working.

It's just a daunting pile. But I'd like to get them done before we leave for the honeymoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just do it! They don't have to be well-written.

Because books.

Steph, the only way to get them done (for me anyway) is do five at a time. Five today, five tomorrow, five the next day, etc. Or three! Just pick a number.

"Dear Wedding Guest,
"You rock. We appreciate it."

Seriously, just say "We appreciate the XX" for non-cash gifts, and you're done.

In other news, whoever decided to have me work on a spreadsheet today needs to take a long, hard look at their choices. There's a reason I wanted to make up shit for a living.

Yay, they're laying insulation in the damaged walls right behind me. I wonder why I have a headache? And not even the workers have protective masks. Macho bullshit or someone who doesn't dare to request safety equipment? Heaven knows.

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

I would really like to go home and work in my yard. Can anyone make that happen?

This is a post from Serious Eats letting people know that a member of their community has died. (I don't know this person and was just curious what the thread was about.) But the embedded picture made me laugh so hard! Even though it's still sad. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse, that's awesome.
