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

I'm the one who usually buys gas, but I'm also the one who usually forgets to buy it until BING on comes the empty light. I feel bad that it really bugs Cody when it happens to him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think Ragnarok might be happening here.

Welcome, Francesca!

shrift, are you still couchless?

I called customer service to change my order to a smaller couch, and looks like I'm couchless until the 21st. If I can't get some chairs here sometime soon, I may take you up on your offer of chairs. Right now I'm sitting on the floor with a pillow and my fizzy water & fancy cheese sitting on the end table. It's not too bad, actually.

we have a great view of a car fire (seriously, the whole thing was ENGULFED in flames)

Whenever I'd had a particularly bad day, I'd always see a semi-truck stuck under an overpass with the top of the trailer crumpled like an accordion. Perspective.

Omg, we came to my husband's office so he could get something done, and the power's gone out.

What is with the power going out in your offices?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Francesca is a GORGEOUS name! Congratulations to all three of you!

We have to feed the kids by 6:30 or bedtime will never ever happen. But DH and I frequently don't eat until 9, after we've put both of them to sleep.

back to school season means there are all sorts of loungey pillows out there.

Even faster swim. Bizarroland. But I do have to complain about the grownass men who keep throwing the ball so it gets in the lap lanes and show no awareness in retrieving it and so collision. And they are surprised I'm annoyed. Um, it's great you are bringing your nieces and nephews and grandkids to the pool in the afternoon since the parents have a gap in childcare coverage, (I've been friendly with them) but fergawdssake, you're all over 45. Act better than the 7 year olds!

If I can't get some chairs here sometime soon, I may take you up on your offer of chairs.

We won't be deprived - these are the nice wooden folding chairs that only come out for guests. Anyway, I'd be happy to bring you something to sit on.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

we have a great view of a car fire (seriously, the whole thing was ENGULFED in flames)

Whenever I'd had a particularly bad day, I'd always see a semi-truck stuck under an overpass with the top of the trailer crumpled like an accordion. Perspective.

Seriously. I said, "Hey, we ran out of gas, but at least we aren't in AN INFERNO."
