Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Best thoughts to your mom, Sean.

I'm sorry for everyone having crappy days! I have just cooked a bunch of food out of my fridge and started phase one of elaborate 4th of July nails. After getting a pedicure and having some hammock time. I highly recommend vacation!!

I've never had this Polar Seltzer. If I ever see it in a store, I'll have to try it. Then I'll know whether I can trash talk Jesse's opinions.

It must be our local/regional brand, which I didn't quite realize. I look forward to talking trash!!

It's funny, I've been mildly resentful for years about the fact that not once since I got here in 2007 have I been called out and recognized at an all hands meeting, despite doing what I think is pretty good work (and occasionally great work). So now I'm finally getting recognized, and I'm grumpy because it won't be a surprise! Can't be pleased, I guess.

Oh man, the flour??

I'm glad you're getting recognized, Consuela, even if you have to do some of the work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

~ma to your mother, Sean.

Gary's dad and stepmom took care of the little guy today (including bringing him to the pediatrician, who said he probably has a virus) so Gary and I could take care of work and other commitments.

Got a prescription for eyeglasses today. (I'm mildly near-sighted) When I will get a chance to fill it, I don't know.

Screw it, I never buy bleached flour. I'm going to continue to eat the occasional spoonful of cookie dough.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Seriously, if I haven't gotten sick already...
