not your mom's socks.

Someone please distract my husband while I pick out colors for the walls. (My mother once asked what his favorite color was, because she was knitting a sweater. I replied, "Clown." He likes things . . . bright.)

this is... accurate.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In a previous job, I worked with engineers. Most of them, their favorite color was beige - the blander the better. One year, someone who'd taken a marketing course, said that red was the most attention-getting color ... but, for some reason, we ended up with pink. Kind of a strawberry ice cream pink ... they complained about it for YEARS. Three, if I remember correctly.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Back at the airport, this time at O'Hare, waiting to come home. Fighting off a migraine that wants to get started. (It's not really a migraine yet, just that feeling that something is poking at my right cheekbone. Hopefully the daith piercing and migraine meds will stomp it flat.) Considering getting the largest order of fries that McDonalds sells.

How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.

The AMA always gives us branded swag, and this year's haul includes a fidget spinner. I shit you not. But also a snuggly fleece blanket, which is warm and awesome. Tim can have the fidget spinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just got back from the first day of Malice Domestic. Much books.

We will not be able to see Infinity Wars until next weekend, at least. Hope I don't get spoiled by places I usually hang out online. The Avengers section of AO3 is already getting filled with fics that have spoilers.(What I get annoyed about is the writers who put spoilers in the summary. Not cool, folks.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.

Agreed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

How many fries is too many fries? I don't believe the number exists.

When I was young, I spent a few summers working at McD's, including quite a bit of time at the fry station. I must respectfully disagree.

My senior year in high school, I worked at a McD's where the fry station was next to the drive-thru. The drive-thru crew never understood why I was happy to run orders into the parking lot during winter without a jacket.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I considered going to see Infinity War today, but I had too much to do. Instead I have picked up paint samples for my exterior of the house -- various shades of blue and cream -- and shall paint more blotches on the side of the garage.

I had a facial earlier (gift certificate from my sister), and I gotta say, I'd rather have a massage. Spending 45 minutes getting goop smeared on my face and then removed is just not all that interesting to me. It's not even relaxing, really.

I don't think I've had McD's fries in many years. But there's a place in downtown Seattle that makes the most amazing fries I've ever had -- I think they cook them in duck fat. SO GOOD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I find facials so relaxing! I prefer massages to be closer to physical therapy, so not relaxing per se, but good for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, I didn't realize that was your new employer.

Not new - I just switched to a different subsidiary.
