Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Tom is joking. He does have a 3 year old named Gannon, which is also not really a name, but it's no SLAYDEN.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

"Only"? That's a lot in one snowfall.

True, but it's not out of bounds for what we normally get in winter, and it's a slow, steady fall vs. heavy winds and whiteout conditions. Also, given that the snow is falling from Saturday into Sunday with plenty of advance notice, there shouldn't be too much trouble with road management.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thank you flea, Tom, and Jess, for providing me with the first laugh of the day.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Buying stuff you "need" for vacation counts as being productive, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Absolutely.

I was productive, I bought 2 tops and a skirt from eShakti on a buy 2 get 1 free deal, plus my promotional credit of $30. I feel very accomplished.

The living room is crushing my spirit.

I have taken a shelf of Hubby's old magazines to the recycling bin and am about to take a bag of books so battered only the people who battered them in the first place would keep them--and I'm not keeping them any longer. I'm going to do some eBaying of gaming stuff later. All such stuff has sold so far, so it's a profitable way to declutter.

I also joined Netflix last night and have watched some old Who--though most of Baker and McCoy eps I want to see aren't on there--and I'm binging on Good Eats at the moment. So it's kind of productive. Kind of.

edit: And my Cartoon Guide to Algebra arrived, but reading is tricky due to the variation in eyeball acuity at the moment. I think I'm going to splurge on the lens that can focus up close as well as far away for the left eye.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

The only thing about my day that could be described as productive is my cough and some cleaning off of shows from the DVR.

The status is NOT quo.

I have had a productive day through necessity. ND and my two local best friends are throwing me a Fabulously 40 party tonight, so I've been cleaning the house in preparation. Now to figure out my "most fabulous attire," as requested by the evite. Any suggestions?
