Because books.

Poking my head in to say, look at this! [link]

Hmph.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Stayed out and socialized longer than I should have tonight, and now I'm just a bundle of nerves. Stooopid introversion.

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

Sorry about the nerves. I hope it was fun while you were out, and you have time to relax and recover now.

Ugh, TomW has this too, it's like he gets the bends coming out of a social situation. Stressful. Maybe try something (movie, TV show) to get your mind off the playback? Or maybe I not try to fix things? (it's my habit in this situation in my day to day life)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Huh.

So, I feel some of you will appreciate this: had a lunch date. We drank a carafe of mimosas which seemed to have almost no OJ in them. And then decided we should go to the spa. So spent the next two hours naked in a hot tub/sauna. Like you do.

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

Sounds like a good date, meara

not only did I pack away my excess dinnerware into recognizable dinnerware-holding boxes, I labeled them well enough that I could find the wine glasses on the first try. Well done, past -t!

Well done indeed! My day on the other hand was spent unpacking boxes that were all stored away when my MiL died. They were all labeled "Glass" and held a variety of dishes, cups, mugs, and decorative figurines. Argh! I boxed up 2/3 of it again and readied it for donation, and swapped out our chipped plate collection for my MiL's old Corelle dishes.

Poking my head in to say, look at this!

The what?!

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

My 18 year old niece just posted her first drinking at college photo on Facebook.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Meh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

More office news: I have assured George, who came second, that there is no shame in having lost to a six-year old. After all, he's a fairly bright six-year old. Oh, and one of the Operations staff (who won the comp for the last four years running, and after a strong late showing, finished just one tip behind Ryan) made him a certificate proclaiming him to be the winner of the tipping comp. the little boy was all smiles when he received it.

More news, almost as momentous: Biyi's parents' permanent residency has been approved! They may now travel freely between China and Australia, which both share the honor of having been the subject of a Discworld novel. I'm sure that's significant somehow.
