Oy, Maria, Sorry for the bullshit.

I need to pack tomorrow for vacation. We have a medical test for Grace tomorrow, which Katie is going to, then I have to pull all of our shit together to leave. Among the things we are packing? Pool noodles! Cheese! Prosecco!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I wish I was within arm's reach, Maria. I'd like to beat your boss stoutly about the head and shoulders. Same goes for Steph's boss.

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

Maria and Steph, you both deserve bosses who appreciate how awesome you are.

In other news, someone set up a crowdfunding campaign to bail out Greece.

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

A million euros in three days. Nifty.

I like the sound of your Things to Pack, Kat!

I have a nearly full bottle of vermouth to get through before I move. What are some cocktails I should make with it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

shrift, sweet or dry? I really like making this sangaree with dry vermouth: [link] - you don't even need the Allspice Dram.

Punting packing. Carried the suitcase upstairs. Realized dress I want to pack is air drying, used that as an excuse. Hell, it's only 11 days, most at my parents' where I can alway do laundry.

Dry, and that sangaree looks intriguing.

Edit: I'm drinking a gin martini with lemon right now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I use dry vermouth to cook greens or that sort of thing, or to deglaze pans. Anywhere white wine would be called for.

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

I've had a day, now I want a gin martini too. Too bad I need to finish cleaning house, hair dying, and packing, and DH went back to work for a late meeting. FML

Applicant came for a job interview wearing flip flops, camisole over a bikini top, and shorts that barely covered her ass, plus a half hour late. As offensive as this was, I'm so desperate I still want to hire her

I wouldn't, but that's just me
