I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Raccoons are not well-suited to an office environment. Or vice versa.

[why does autocorrect know how to spell raccoon but not raccoons? That doesn't have some weird plural, does it?]

Tea update: I decided to have a pot of Lady of the Manners tea this morning, as I am dressed in a high-collared, pouffy-sleeved, buttoned-cuff blouse and that just seemed appropriate. If I need a second pot today, it will be Evil Bunny Alliance, otherwise tomorrow.

OK, so I'm thinking my Christmas present to myself will be doing something different with the wall behind the headboard of my bed (currently painted a kind of light blue-violet with one of my paintings hanging on it): [link]

What do folks think of these options?

distressed panels headboard: [link]

whitewashed wood wall mural: [link]

Manhattan skyline penthouse mural: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Technically, it's raccice.

Ooh, Matt, I like all of those. I'd probably pick the wood one?

Not ractopods?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

~ma for your brother, msbelle, and your peace of mind.

Matt, your bed will block much of the bottom of the Manhattan mural. Personally, I would hate to have to negotiate anything next to the distressed wood wall (retrieving dropped objects, plugging in an electric cord, etc.) without splinters, and it will collect dust and lint and cobwebs like crazy unless you're dedicated to dusting it. I'd go for the varicolored headboard.

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

msbelle, all the ~ma for you and your brother.

Wednesday is being a worse Monday than Monday was. I am so over this bullshit, I'm tempted to email my resignation right now.

Matt, I like the whitewashed wood mural.

Beverly, if I'm reading the description right, the wood wall is also a mural, printed on vinyl. It just looks super-realistic.

None of them are real wood that would require dusting or give splinters, if I am reading the descriptions correctly.

I'm sorry, Maria. I'm also not sure resigning would be the wrong choice, but you know what you need better than I.

My coworker gave me half a pumpkin pie cupcake. Nom nom nom. Good coworker, he can stay. Apparently his wife bakes when she is stressed out, and the world is stressing her out right now. I feel a little bad for taking advantage of her suffering, but yum.
