Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

So when you wake up with a crick in your neck, swim for over an hour and then spend another 2 hours running errands, perhaps you should do so on more than a pot of coffee and water. Made myself an arugula and parm omelet, but may take a bit for my body and mind to register this.

May make cookies later.

meara, we curse in front of the kids all the time, so grain of salt this. But we do say booty and, more often, boot.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

"Booty" always seemed to me to be another word for "butt," and just about as innocuous as "butt." Or somewhere between "butt" and "ass."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, not Mr. Gilmore. :-(

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

I suppose it could depend on what you're doing with the booty (calling it might get confusing for a kid...), but as an alternate word for ass, it never really pinged me.

Then again, I spent nine years in Detroit, so what do I know?

Today is not a good day to get prescriptions filled--the computers seem to be on vacation too.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Wahoo! I just got an alert that the slipcovers I'd been looking for are available online again. Soon, I will have presentable living room furniture that doesn't look or smell like a litterbox!

I can see both sides, both as a harmless word for gluteus maximus, but has also been sexualized in song (I feel like I just heard a song about having a big booty).

Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.

hip deep in pie

I left a whole half hour early. My coworker drove me home, since it was cold, and it is totally out of his way, so very nice of him.
