Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Because books.

I just didn't want to have to think about what I want to do with my life when I grow up this week.

I hear that.

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

You could move to Portland and make artisanal hummus.

Shrift, I hope whatever shakes out for you, it is what you want. Will internal positions be something you might like?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In terms of the nail polish box, it is still in Seattle. Assuming we can get it out of Seattle, can people let me know if they are still interested in participating and/or if someone else would like to take over the organizing?

I am still interested!

Thanks, Kat. There are internal positions I'm definitely interested in, but I'd probably have to move across the country to the Bay Area.

Because books.

I think there are people who would get behind a Bay Area move, shrift.

Also, I read that as "infernal" positions.

I have done nothing but eat homemade chicken chow mein (not made by me, though) and noodle around on the interwebs all night while listening to my country music playlist. Yay?

You say that like it could be a bad thing.

Congrats Kat.

I have been busy after a 10 hours work day today. CJ is in CA and K-Bug is at a professional conference, so I'm home alone. I cooked myself a real dinner, baked gingerbread cupcakes, made cream cheese frosting, iced the cupcakes, loaded the dishwasher, ran the dishwasher, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, cleaned the litter boxes, and got all the garbage out.

Then I brought in the mail which included CJ's ballot for the upcoming election. Cool to have a new voter in the house. I sent him a picture of the envelope and he is excited.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went out to dinner, then browsed a bookstore while listening to the traditional music session they have there once a month. Read the first few chapters of a book and decided not to buy it. Now, watching The Flash.

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

You say that like it could be a bad thing.

Like I said, I vote for option b (relocating)
