From over the cubicle wall:
"I'm sure I might have to shoot my brains out. If I have to drive through Kansas or Nebraska. Corn. For eight hours. And then you hit the state line. And you know what? (whispers) More corn."
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Morton Salt Girl is my fav! I have mugs I got at a rummage sale that are Morton Salt Girl throughthe years.
So I don't have to buy yellow shoes or a wig, I'm actually going as the 1921 Morton Salt Girl....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Remember the citrus scale?
Mostly I remember the word "cocksickle" in the Smallville fandom hereabouts.

Authentic AND cheap AND Lazy! The best.

Hey, I'm buying a dress and an umbrella! I am committed.

Thrive to spite them
Sj I hope you get to feeling better soon.
I am at home. Tomorrow Matthew and I are going to the beach. I am so ready. Originally we were going to go through the 30th but now it's until next Friday. My briehr is going to see mom tomorrow through the weekend and then she is going to stay with a friend for the week. She is doing lots better but slower and she totes out very easily and when she does she really slows down and that is when she has more memory/cognition problems.
I am going to post a lot of stuff on FB about my trip. I'm ready to focus on other things. Also tomorrow night will be the first night Matthew and I have had alone since his mom moved in.

I'm thinking the umbrella might have more than costume functionality.
But your point obtains! I'm going to need to see pictures, of course.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Authentic AND cheap AND Lazy! The best.
As the person who was Underground Fighting Ring Pam Poovey for Halloween one year so that I could wear yoga pants and a white tank, I 100% support authentic/cheap/lazy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My Mrs Roper costume from last year was good for that, too.
I'm FB friends with a few of my coworkers and one of them posted that our 9/80 schedule got extended through October so now I am tempted to check my work email to confirm but I think the part of my brain that is adamantly opposed to checking work email when I am officially off work is stronger.

I'm going to a dance event that starts on Halloween (so there's a dance that night) and someone was like "are you going to be in costume?" and I was basically like "well, I'll probably wear a bandana and say I"m Rosie the Riveter, does that count? Because I think not"

Also, I woke up at 415, was through airport security by 515, and I don't land until after 11pm (I have a several hour layover). Colombia here I come! I'm totally overpacked but probably also forgot something important? (Not my passport, wallet, or phone, so I'm telling myself everything else is ok)
