You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

When both Pumpkin and Loki came home from dental work stoned, I characterized Loki as a stoned frat boy " duuuuuuuuude, the colors. The wall is sooooo niiiiice. I love you, man. Booooox. I can't feel my tail. I have no tail." and Pumpkin as the annoying stoned girl " Hi! HI! OMGAWD, haveyouevertriedchewingiceITISSOAWESOME. Hey, was that a bird? I really like milkshakes! Your hair is so shiny! Can I touch it? Oh, is that food?"

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

I get like that after anesthesia (like Squeaky, that is).

Yes to cab to wedding. Unless it's really super casual.

OMG football!

How many times can I use "some kind" in a post? Question answered.

Did you set some kind of a record?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Allentown, I am in you! We got here at a nice hotel, Courtyard Marriott, and I promptly laid down and took a two and a half hour nap because I was running on empty.

Woke up groggy, but able to made words. And get ready for gourmet pizza with D, his MiL, M, his siblings and E's mom.

It's was very cordial, and I am mature enough to be pleased by this.

So far, -ma is working!

There's a pool here, but a little one. I think I'll take a quick dip, then a hot shower, and watch free HBO til I fall asleep.

I'm not nervy about my outfits anymore, because confidence is the best beautifier!

My anxiety is almost null, and I am very pleased! Go, team me, go team healthy coping strategies!

Thanks for-ma, and for support - every time I think negatively. I channel y'all, and I feel your hope and I think "What would the Buffistas advise?"

I'm so excited to see my darling boy knock the ball out of the park. I'm so proud of him!

And M's mom and I are being cordial in what seems like a genuine way. I can't guarantee that will never clash on anything again, but I've decided that hate is a destructive emotion, and that I am going to try to be a good person and release hateful feelings.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I made some kind (seriously, fingers, that's what you type?) of squeaking noise and then said "Are you shitting me?"

I know, right? Unbelievable. And this time, in a good way.

The global summit is over! I am going to bed now, because I need to get up around 4am to check out of my hotel and go to the tiny airport for an international flight to Chicago and then on to Michigan.

I'm very glad it's done, and that people are happy and seem to think it went well.

The football game is showing closeups of beignets. Not fair.

I am okay with that, actually.

Glad the summit went well, shrift! That sounds like a big deal.
