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.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

Picked up my groceries and now I am settling in for what is apparently my plan for the evening - snacks and movies. Starting with Kagemusha, then we'll see what I'm in the mood for.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I need to stop on the way home for snacks. I have wine, but no good snacks.
So far there is no sign that they will let us go home early, but it could still happen.

"Booty" doesn't seem that dirty to me either...maybe it would matter how someone said it. I don't think I ever have, though, outside the song,

Forgoing my usual Thai takeout for NYE.For once, I'm not socked out with a cold and I'm feeling cheap. But I am having miso with cabbage and spinach, because I haven't felt right all day. I'm a little afraid the crick in my neck is actually a precold symptom.
And I made cookies.

Rose's daycare teachers use "booty" regularly, and it always strikes me as odd, since I do think of it as a somewhat sexualized term. So I can see where your sister is coming from, meara, even if it does seem to be commonly used.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh, my corporate holiday present arrived. Everyone in the company was given a fitbit Charge wristband.
Wanna trade? The Theatre's namesake gave us a DVD (Goodman history or home movies? I'm waiting for someone else to watch and report) a logo'd pen with a LED light and a logo'd keychain. Last year was wine.
I wandered in to work around noon, but I didn't leave until 7. What is wrong with me?

I got out a few hours early, took the dog for a walk and did some weeding.
Now it's off to dinner with some family friends, and then maybe a party. Should be a fairly quiet night.
Happy New Year, Buffistas!

We didn't get a corporate gift per se, but everyone in Operations got a frittata pan.
I bought one of those for myself last year, so this one will be going to my sister. Who makes a lot of frittatas. So it all works out.
Last year we all got asparagus steamers, which I also already had, but the gift one was a different style so I decided it was okay for me to have two. I might need to steam a whole lot of asparagus, after all.
OK, time to make some black-eyed peas, etc.
