this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Moving ~ma to Liese's family and surgery ~ma to Typo.
My boss is having me help out (should I say "mentor"? is that better business jargon? I could put that shit on my resume) a new freelance editor, and I just want to drink my coffee and get my work done, not talk on the phone with a stranger. I am flattered that she trusts my skills/experience enough to ask me to do this, but dang, I hate talking to strangers, on the phone or otherwise.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Eventful weekend! Congrats and ~mas, as needed.

Pumpkin spice burger sounds not dissimilar from tourtière, French-Canadian pork pie with cinnamon and clove, which is delicious!
Pork works a lot better with sweet-ish seasonings than beef, in my experience. Back in my college World Lit class several students worked together to serve a medieval meal as their final project, and the entree was bruet sarcens—beef with some kind of spiced sugary glaze. Keeping a smile on my face as I choked it down may have been the best acting I've ever done.

Well, I guess that means she thinks you're doing the job right.
edit: and yes, put that shit on a resume.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What Connie said. Both of it.

Moving ~ma for the family, Liese.
Y'all can have the pumpkin everything. I like pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving dinner and that does me for pumpkin for the year. When did this madness begin, marketing pumpkin everything in the fall? I don't remember it before a few years ago.

I think it was only 3-5 years ago. I just legit love pumpkin-flavored stuff. For most of my life I never ate it, including pumpkin pie. And then I ate either pumpkin ice cream or pumpkin pie some time in my 30s and realized what I had been missing, and the pumpkin beast was unleashed in my belly.

My mom makes a pumpkin pie that's way better than anything you can get in a store, so that's been my preferred birthday "cake" since I was a kid.

I love pumpkin. Perhaps I am basic at heart. Or Midwestern. Something like that. I would choose pumpkin pie over most fruit pies any day. And over pecan, or most cream pies. (I haven't hard sugar cream pie in a long time so I'd probably try that if I had a chance, but I digress). I do also love yams and sweet potatoes and butternut squash and all those orangey fall veggies. Roasted or creamed or baked....yum.
