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

That is the way of Trader Joe's.

Lunch was way more filling than breakfast. My arm is safe. For now.

Welcome baby Jane!

Dying to know what the magnificent Rose thinks about her sibling.

Here too. I'm sure she's going to be a most excellent big sister.

The only way I can handle eating low carbs is to keep a ready supply of roasted nuts handy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Congrats, Kate and family! I love the traditional names.

I just went to Trader Joe's for one thing (biltong jerky)

Be grateful you have a Trader Joe's. The closest ones to me are in another state. I have to go to Towson if I want to shop at Trader Joe's. It makes me very sad.

Yay, -t! I am all for remaining dual-armed.

I just saw a house IN MAINE flying the Confederate flag.

Lotta rednecks up in Maine. (edit: see also, New Hampshire)

So, Trader Joe's announced they're opening a store in Metairie (suburb of New Orleans) and my local Twitter feed is split between overjoyed and "Huh? It's just a grocery store, right?"

Oh really? Where at?

The only way I can handle eating low carbs is to keep a ready supply of roasted nuts handy.

I am very sad that I can't eat nuts anymore. Or haven't quite figured out which ones might still be okay, at any rate. I have amassed a nice collection of sunflower seed, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and coconut chips that is pretty tasty. Didn't bring any with me today, though.

I just called to get a moving quote and the guy was away from his desk. I feel like I'm being thwarted in my onerous tasks. Come on, universe! I'm trying to do the thing.

I'm going to eat junk food and try again in a little bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like the right call, shrift.

I'm giving myself a free pass on eating the Cool Ranch Doritos while I'm making this move happen.

Edit: Still away from his desk. I left an awkward message.
