I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

There is a political ad on heavy rotation on my favorite radio station from the Center for Individual Freedom (a name chock full of right wing wacko warning bells) being horrified that one of Utah's congressmen is *horror* standing with Barack Obama (shudder) in backing some sort of plan to apparently write off some of Puerto Rico's debt. The ad is full of warnings about threats to retirees and making it harder for Utah to borrow money and pointing out that Republican politicians are against it. There have been three iterations of this ad, and in the past two the policy in question was called something like Super Restructuring. The new ad is calling it Super Chapter 9. I just Googled Super Chapter 9. The only reference I can find to it is in reference to DragonBall Z.

Whatever it is, I hope it's voted on soon so I can stop listening to this breathlessly horrified female begging me to call my Congressman to stop him from cooperating with That Man.

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

Ideas please?

For dinner last night my sis made a pasta with peas, ricotta and tarragon. It was...fine. Just super bland. But we've got a ton left over. What can I add that might liven it up?

I've got some feta but was planning to use that for something else. Any other thoughts?

Punishingly Intricate

What can I add that might liven it up?

Salt and cheese and a little crushed red pepper, olives and/or capers

Y'all, five minutes before I had to leave for the dentist, my div deputy walks into my office.

I HAVE AN OFFER LETTER!!

My biggest concern, a pay cut? NSM. Opposite, in fact. A 15-18 %(can't remember current base salary right now) INCREASE, before you factor in benefits (like the 10% company contribution to retirement.)

Holy shizznit. Still processing. Can't say anything yet on fb until later. Holy crap.
