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

Wow, meara. That's a lot.

Aw, msbelle, that's a bummer.

I should probably not be allowed in the dollar store without a minder. Poor impulse control. But I'm home now and have kisses stuck to marshmallows with melted chocolate in the fridge getting ready for the next step. I wonder if I an find the Christmas dishes I bought over the summer so I could give them away with cookies and such on them? Very little idea where I stashed them. Somewhere safe. Not in the kitchen. Hm.

brillig

I'm watching the PBS show "From Jesus to Christ." They're doing aerial shots of Masada, and I'm now wondering if Tolkien had that promontory and its buildings along that front ridge in mind when he thought of Minas Tirith.

where is everybody?

I went to the grocery store with my mom, got Chinese for dinner, and then went over to my sister's house, where I got piled on by my nieces and their dog (as you can see on FB). After that, I logged into my Stanford class to do some homework.

I was catching up with my sister on our ridiculous family. And nope, I will not be back in New England I guess! Though I'm voting this means he should find a job in Seattle.

I do not seem to have a natural talent for piping melted chocolate into recognizable shapes. Can't say I'm surprised.

Two candies completed, which was all I really needed to finish tonight. Whew.

I am awake bc I rolled over wrong and ouch. Physics Therapy (eta that's Physical Therapy but ima leave it bc its funny) is kicking my ass you guys. also cannot figure out why my scheduled cc payment didn't go through. Meara that's a lot of drama. I'm Gud, I hope your back feels better. Sparky, last day b4 break!

Our wings are not tired.

Ouch, hippocampus. I hope you can get some more rest while the ouch subsides.

Wow, meara. That's a lot.

Yikes indeed! May things be much less dramatic today.

Aw, msbelle, that's a bummer.

I love the festive and stuff and neither of the boys were into it. It was a super joy to have my new daughter this year because she loves to decorate and did the tree and house with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I scheduled a 90 minute planning meeting for this morning, and I have NO INTEREST in running it! At least I only have to run half, but ugh. I'm tired of being in charge. I guess that's a sign about what I should look for in my next position, huh?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

-t, my mother would routinely put presents in "safe" places and then forget where ... and sometimes about the present itself. Which is why I sometimes received sweaters for my birthday (in May) and odd stuff in December. I think it's a family failing - I was in the closet and found a shawl and warm scarf I'd forgotten about and my grandmother once put her engagement ring in a "safe" place and never found it again.
