Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME that I got up to come into the office for an international conference call and none of the international people are coming and the only people in the call are people IN MY OFFICE?

This is my reward for virtue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is jewels in your crown in heaven, Dana.

(Do other people say that?)

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

It doesn't sound like something I've never heard before, but it isn't something I'd say.

I am wearing open-toed sandals and a sleeveless top to work. Feels scandalous.

We've got a high of 81° today, I may be able to do something besides try not to melt after work. Kind of excited to find out what that might be.

ETA: also earrings, but that does not feel scandalous, more like finally remembering something i am supposed to do bt usually don't manage

Also also pants, but that is in no way remarkable and mentioned only for completeness sake.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

After yesterday, I ended up sleeping like a baby all through the night. I mean, I still woke up every few hours, but I went back to sleep.

Google suggests it's not just my family, but also not that common and no one quite knows why people say it. So there you go.

Slightly more comforting than "virtue is its own reward" I suppose.

Is that where the book Jewel in the Crown comes from?

Librarian Warlord

A family in my neighborhood is moving, and one of the parents keeps posting the most hilarious listings for free stuff at the curb -- this has been going on for weeks -- and here is the baby gate post:

Too bad you let your child watch television. Now he's gone postal at the playground, slinging feces at the other children and screaming obscenities: "YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF F&@*$@ING ELMOS!" At night he sneaks out of his crib to slash Prius tires. All this is just a taste of a screentime-induced future of felonies. But how will prison affect his self-esteem? Good news: now you can provide him with the confidence he'll need to shine during incarceration by giving him his first prison experience in the comfort of your own home with these FREE wooden (natural!) baby gates. Also useful for corralling a husband, or at least for gently letting him know that now is not a good time.

That is amazing, Sparky.

I think that's a crown jewels thing? India is the jewel in the crown that is the British Empire?
