Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I had more breakfast than usual at the regular time this morning, and I was still ravenous by 11. WTF, body? I'm not up to that much running yet, so it's not like I'm working up a serious calorie deficit.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Calli, any time I start to work out I am starving all the time ridiculously. Even if I just went to an extra yoga class or something. Drives me bonkers!

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

I am having second breakfast right now AIFG!

My eldest nephew started 7th grade today. *brain explodes*

My eldest child starts 7th in a week! *brain explodes too*

My baby girl is going to be senior next year. It's really hard to believe.

Shocking!!

I adulted today! We officially signed all the documents for our much-needed refi. But I think it will be several months at least before we begin our even more needed remodel.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Having tea and jell-o right now. IFG, but it kinda makes me feel like I ought to be at home on the couch with a blanket watching daytime TV.

That's very exciting about CJ, Suzi! I hope graduating doesn't leave too big a hole for him to adjust to.

I think it's great that CJ has really found his calling

I hope graduating doesn't leave too big a hole for him to adjust to.

I think between the EMT course, which is 8 instruction hours a week and his Fire Science program which is 12, he will be plenty busy. Plus, he can still respond to searches if/when he wants.

All his classes are EMS/Fire Science except for one math - trig and one psychology - psychology of death and dying. Trig is the only one I'm worried about.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My ex-boyfriend's daughter is 15. Of course, my other ex's kid is what, like, 19 now or something. It's ridiculous, this whole passage of time thing.

Good for CJ.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I can't remember what thread I talked about this in, but anyway, the folks who made an offer on my parents house but then had their buyer fall through, has a new buyer, and has made a new offer. Yay! So real estate~ma please. They're expected to close (and move) September 15th, which may or may not mean I am making another trip back there. Which would be bad timing, right up against the beginning of the school year, but hey, I'll take the tradeoff if it means things will work out for them long term. And it looks like they might be able to rent the house across from my sister's place while they buy and remodel the house next door to my sister. So that would all be very ideal. Fingers crossed!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed indeed!
