I would like to go to Frontera. And then anywhere on a plane.

I would subscribe to this lifestyle.

The first time you use "oxt" with anyone it'll take some time to explain, but once you have established it is wonderful. My scheduling with friends via txt has gotten much faster.

Aaand my deck is icing up. One guess as to how I found out. But the last of the birdseed is in the feeder.

That is fucked up, sarameg.

I don't think I need "oxt". I don't make that many weekend plans, I'll usually specify the date. I can see the need for a "me and you" us distinct from a "me and them" us. Mexican food for breakfast also sounds good.

I found the slate article about "inclusive we":

I wish there were an english solution more elegant than 'in-we' which sounds like something you do in the WC.

I declare this week to be fucking done, even though it's Monday. In addition to the work bullshit, I got a notice that my 2014 property taxes weren't paid on my new house. They were supposed to have been paid with funds from the settlement. The settlement company is now out of business. Guess who had to unearth her HUD-1 and title insurance policy in the midst of the rest of the crap today?

I still haven't started drinking. I was working until 8, and barely managed popcorn for dinner. I'm done for the evening. I'll get up and try again tomorrow.

You people need to talk more. I am bored, but I don't want to use up the stash of books that I have started accumulating for my vacation in two weeks. But I might have to!!

Y'all, I already did my taxes, I put together all the info for refinancing my mortage and applied online, I"ve done three loads of laundry....it's not fun to play dress-up in my closet by myself...all my friends in town seem to be busy until Thursday (why aren't some of them free OTHER days???)

ETA: Oh, geez, Maria--that's not what I wanted to hear when I demanded posting! So sorry and sucky. Hope the taxes thing works out. :(

Well, fuck, Maria.

sarameg, I trust you weren't hurt badly.

In Onerous Task news, I made myself enroll in the identity theft protection thingy included in AAA membership. I swear, interacting with that website was like pulling teeth out of molasses in January. It took each page 3 minutes to load up AND they don't tell you what characters are acceptable in which fields until you hit "save" so it can take three minutes to load up the page that tells you to edit the entry. Then it takes another three minutes to save the corrected information. Then it takes another three minutes to load up the page for entering another set of information. Grr, Arrrgh.

Hah, meara! It's ok. It's just a huge PITA. The title insurance will cover it, including the penalties and interest, and going forward it won't be a problem. Nibbled to death by ducks, I tell ya....
