When I was a church-going teenager, there was a family that would have a Superbowl party where the game was on in one room, and in another room a bunch of us would gather around the piano and sing jazz standards. That is my kind of sports party.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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

Plei, your mother... May I offer hair pats while continuing to laugh? Because it was awful, but so so funny!
Oh my god, Becky! Look at her butt. It is so big.
So grateful someone else's brain went there, too.
Yay, Callaluna! I saw on FB. Awesome!!! Luna is so adorbs.
Aww, thanks! I think so, but I'm a bit partial.

Our wings are not tired
I'm all edgy today. I have a meeting tomorrow with a new business division of one of my major clients about possibly taking on a whole new slate of work with my company. If it happens there is the potential for it to seriously increase the amount of work that we do, which would be great. It would also really increase the visibility of my business. Okay, I just needed to get that out there.

Oh, by all means! I haven't survived 40 years with her as my mother without learning that I have to laugh at it.

Coworker, I promise you there's no need to send me my action items from the meeting notes that I sent after the meeting that I ran.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good luck, Drew! I hope the edginess smooths out or is not too bothersome.

It's impossible to not be aware that the Patriots are in the Superb Owl around here -- even if, like me, you only listen to NPR because they've been covering DeflateGate, including science specialists to explain how gases work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm more likely to be called a different name that begins with S than to be called by a diminutive form of my name. Neither happens much. (Been called Sharon and Sheila by people who couldn't remember my name. Was called Sherry by a teacher in high school. That's about it.)
