You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

shrift, sweet or dry?

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's always exciting to see that my parents town is trending on Twitter because a tornado touched down. Meep.

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

Yikes! I hope everyone's okay!

It is finally a comfortable temperature. I guess I should go to sleep, though it kind of seems like a shame to have been awake and doing stuff through the miserable heat and unconscious once it gets pleasant. But if the forecast can be believed it should stay pretty nice for a while, and I have to get through 6 hours of work tomorrow before I can have my 3.5 day weekend.

Ditto. I cook with Vermouth fairly often.

I can see that, although sleeping through miserable heat is a miserable slog, so you kinda dodged a bullet there.

Maria, that is such BS on your bosses part. I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

Shrift, I'm enjoying scofflaw cocktails these days. [link]
