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.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

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]

That's true, Burrell, I have not gotten a good night's sleep all week with the heat until last night. Could use more, frankly. Oh well.

UGH. I have been up with Grace since 2:00 AM. She now is feverish.
