Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Thrive to spite them

I'm Skyping with E. And he doesn't know about this. I'm reading about the killing of elementary school children and I can't .. react . I'm pushing it aside now because I want to protect him from hearing about this as long as possible.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Wow, Harris Teeter just robo called me about the JIF peanut butter recall (I already threw it out); that's the first time I've ever gotten a call about a recall. Modern tracking for the win, I guess.

Meijer emailed me, though the JIF has been long since eaten at Stately Beckmeyer Manor. I'm half creeped out by the fact that they know I bought JIF (yes, I know it was my choice to sign up for the MPerks thing) and half appreciative that they gave me a warning.

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

Is it wrong that I am seeing y'all posting about the Jif recall and thinking "but how do you pronounce it" and chucking to myself?

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

Timelies all!

It’s cooled off a bit since the weekend. I’d like it a little warmer than this, though…

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hec, make sure she’s having her iron levels checked regularly.

I can’t think too much about the school shooting or I’ll never send ltc to school again.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm sitting here reading the NYT live reporting page and I can't stop crying. It's just so horrific.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We've got a date with the phlebotomist to check for just that before the doctor puts her on the Pill.

I just have no faith in this country anymore. No will to change. Nothing will be done about this. Sandy Hook didn't change anything. This won't change anything.

Good. I ended up going on the pill not much older than her to try to keep my iron levels from drastically dropping all the time.

Yeah, I lost all hope for change after Sandy Hook.
