My mom paid her taxes under her married name for 30-40 years before the IRS got on her case for using an alias. No, I think it was Social Security who was miffed that she had never changed her name with them. She was kinda chuffed to have an alias.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I once dreamed that I woke up, got ready, and went to work ... then the alarm went off and I had to start over. SO exhausting.
Those dreams are the worst!!

My dreams for the past few nights have involved vampires and Dave Vanian, but that makes sense, because I saw The Damned in concert on Sunday night.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My hotel bed is made of MAGIC. I have slept so soundly and have woken up so easily - there is no other explanation. I want to pack it up and bring it with me everywhere.
But is also means I have no memory of my dreams. But I'll take the trade off since I normally struggle to fall asleep and I'm master of the snooze feature on my phone.

Ahahaha, Tim texted to tell me what his dad's doctor said about the catheter, but every instance of "catheter" in the text is the cat emoji. It's glorious. As in, "The nurses can change the [cat emoji] every month and assist him if he needs help with the [cat emoji]."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Last night I dreamed about Psycho Ex again. This is the second dream in which I've told him off for taking advantage of me and then left him. I think my subconscious is trying to re-write my history.
My new middle name would be Annabel. I'm not dropping the other one, so I'd be Elizabeth Annabel Leone Stewart.

Damn, I still need to legally change my name post-wedding. (Yes, I know it's been 3 1/2 years. Yes, I know I've been getting paid under my married name for 3 1/2 years. Shush.)

Seriously?!?! It feels like you JUST walked down the aisle in that fab blue dress.

Steph, you might check on Tim's dad's pant size and make sure he has more pants - if not 35, then more than 2 (which gives you quite a range with room to stock up on more as time passes).
In other news, did people know that Serena Williams is pregnant? 20 weeks along ... which means she won the Australian Open while pregnant ... makes me feel like even more of an underachiever.
