Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Well, I guess my opting out of the gift exchange didn't take. I'm supposed to come up with 3 suggestions for

Thanks, y'all. I think it went well. It's hard to tell. I looked awesome ( for me), at least.

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

1. Alphabet soup
2. Giant sloth
3. Try to get more sleep

Those are my three suggestions for

People are threatening to drag me to the office party in NYC next week because I didn't make it to mine. Whyyyy. It's like people have never heard of introverts.

Ha! I guess my "less than" symbol took out part of my post...it's supposed to say under $10 things to get me.

Giant sloth is a good one, though. Also more sleep.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

under $10 things to get me.

I would say coffee, but you've said you don't make it at home any more, right? Do you drink tea? If so, fancy tea is an option. Or hot cocoa mix.

Candle? (With a stank-ass dog in our small house, candles are my go-to so that we don't smell like a kennel 24/7.) (I am not implying your house is full of dog stink, but a candle might be a good backup in case he gets farty.)

Page-a-day calendar for your desk? (Shit, I don't even know if those are under $10.)

And...that's all I got. That's pretty much what I always put on my list when my old company did the gift exchange. Though one year I got a Magic 8-Ball, which was pretty sweet.

It could be a very small giant sloth. $10 only goes so far.

I like the giant sloth idea.

I recommend a Dilbert plush toy that says phrases when you slam it on your desk. It can be very satisfying if you get the toy that says the things you want to say but can't.
