Happy 0th Birthday, Francesca!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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."

Just made the connection between overall faster swims since vacation (not just the past 2 days) and my newish bras misbehaving. It's not just the winter weight going, shape's changing, again. Which yay, but I don't want more bra shopping in my future...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My dad is awesome. Felicia Day was doing a book signing tonight in the little bookstore that's like five minutes from my parents' house, and he went and waited on line for an hour to have her sign a book for me. (He is a fan of hers, but there's no way he would have gone out and waited on that line, especially on a work night, if he wasn't getting the book for me.)

I fill up when it gets to a quarter tank. Hubby always said, "But you've got a quarter of a tank, you're fine!" Don't care.
During hurricane season, I try not to let the tank go under half filled. This year I'm not doing too great at that.

There was one time a few years ago that I ran out of gas while I was driving, and I've been pretty paranoid about refilling it once it gets down to a quarter of a tank ever since.

I am on hold with Amazon. Once I'm done with that, I'm not doing anything but drinking and watching stuff like Last Week Tonight on YouTube.
