We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And now I'm grumpy, because I always do check the unclaimed property thing when someone mentions it. I was about to email family members to tell them they were listed, when I had a thought and checked my sent email. Yep, notified them in 2013.

GET YOUR DAMN MONEY, PEOPLE.

Yay, Second Avenue line!

I just watched LMM's Drunk History, too. Getting excited for Hamilton next week!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh, found some money owed to a cousin and my ex-aunt. I'm not going to tell them, though. I know my cousin will never bother and her mother can take care of herself...

Because books.

Second Avenue Subway! When I lived at 74th and Second, that was still a fairy tale.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That was the funniest joke on Mad Men.

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

OMG, Tom, I can't believe it! I've never lived in NYC, but I somehow have absorbed the mythical nature of the Second Avenue Subway from my friends who have.

Yay Hamilton Day!

My conference call that I was going to have to rush this morning to be ready for is being repurposed. Whew!

Thrive to spite them

I thought I'd check the unclaimed property even though the last time I looked there wasn't anything -but I found some account I don't remember with $80!

I took another day off to spare my co-workers the Cold From Hell. However, if I take another unplanned absence this month, I'll lose my bonus for the month. Sorry, co-workers! My germs are your germs!

Hey, I have $9.82 coming to me. I'll take it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, DH and I have found a house (online) we both think would be perfect for us in Ypsilanti (I'll be Aimee's neighbor!). It looks like someone was trying to flip it and ran out of money--it has no kitchen. But we like that, as we can decide what kind of kitchen we want, and it's SO CHEAP--$79k. We can use some of the money we get from selling our house to put in a kitchen an still have it be a very economical option. It's this one: [link]

If it's still on the market when we go there at the end of the month...who knows.
