Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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

Sounds unpleasant, Connie. I hope you won't have to undergo too many treatments.

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.
Not just me, then? Well, that's reassuring. Thanks!

Tomorrow I'm off to a family event in MI. My nephew's getting married this weekend. His fiance is delightful--I'm so glad she's joining the family.

Okay, phone call of the day! Colleague (male) in call center: "The patron wants to speak to a woman because she wants your opinion on some wigs and hairstyles." Me: "Okay, I am a woman..." Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.

I'm going to take a stand against getting anythinged in the eye. Especially without valium.

Right there with you, but substitute chloroform for valium. I'd wear Mr. Magoo glasses that could stop a bullet before letting someone perform surgery on my eyes.

Lemme tell ya, eye surgery is not fun. And they DID give me valium. And eventually I made them give me something more (fentanyl, I think?) because I was like "yeah, my anxiety is ratcheting up the closer we get to the surgery and it's burning that valium right off..."

Flea, that's pretty funny! :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.

I love that!

I think I would love flea's job! My dream job is to just sit somewhere and have people ask me questions and I could give my opinion or research them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I feel like we should start a "my opinion, let me show you it" tumblr in the vein of "yo, is this this racist" and let people ask us stuff and we can just tell them what we think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Not hating my job is nice.

YAY

I like Liese's idea.
