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

Oooh, "paid off cabin" is very exciting!

I sympathize with the billpay urge, brenda. I'm trying to get my credit card paid off so I can buy a "new" car next year. It means I'm really throwing down on it every month, but I'm making payments double what I want for car payments, so I know I can afford the car payment when it finally starts!

Go Sail! That sounds very sensible.

Right, can't wear slippers to work. At least I realized before I got out the door this time.

Oh, hey, it's been 18 years of Buffy. How about that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sail, are you busy this weekend? I'm probably going to Madison to celebrate my birthday with a few friends--wanna join us? Sounds like Friday night and maybe Saturday?

(Non of my non-buffista friends seem to be cat-herders, so we're late with the planning.)

Love to, tommy! I've even got a place for you to crash, if you need it. My roommate is off to California for a couple weeks; you're welcome to use her room.

Got all the way to the park this morning before realizing the dog had no collar on. DST gronk.

Between DST and being pre-coffee, I managed to break a mug and pour wet coffee grinds all over the floor. Gronk.

Now to have a chat with my boss about the ridiculous drama. Ugh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I totally brought Steph's rule about no abbreviations unless it's in the piece five times to my staff meeting -- did I say that yesterday? We liked it!

I cling to my acronyms. I would go bonkers if I had to spell out complementary metal-oxide semiconductor every time.

The acronym of which is CMOS, of course, which makes me do a little double-take every time I see the acronym for Chicago Manual of Style.
