Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Thrive to spite them

Happy birthday Matt, Cashmere, and Megan walker

mabelle - gum (,for when the plane takes off), hand sanitizer, wet wipes, Tide pen are the only thongs I can think of to suggest. Maybe a small bag to stash dirty clothes in.

1960s Addams Family is the best. I have a coffee table book of Charles Addams' cartoons I need to dig out and enjoy for the spooky season.

I couldn't get into Wednesday. I don't have Netflix right now but I will try it again sometime.

One of the Team Leads, Stephanie, s an amazing baker. She made red velvet cake for someone's birthday at work (well his girlfriend arranged it as a surprise). She makes her own butter! And she has chickens so she uses fresh eggs. I always forget her baked goods aren't that sweet . Just sweet enough. Normally for me it's hard to taste the cocoa in red velvet cakes, they just taste sweet , but I could really taste it in hers.

I kind of want to ask her how much she'd charge for a German chocolate cake.

Once again it's my day off and I was wide awake at 6 am. On days I work I'm struggling to wake up on time...why does my body do that?

Oof, I woke up super cranky this morning. Only fell asleep at 5a because I slept so much yesterday from what I'm calling vaccine fatigue. But I have breathed and showered and apologized to DH for my untargeted rage vibe this morning, which, even though he was not directly on the receiving end, could not have been pleasant. He was very gracious about it. Points to him.

Also, my dog rolled in something yesterday, and DH showered her right away, but the smell lingered on the bathroom to a surprising extent this morning -- could not get the window open and the lavender shower melt going fast enough. Glad the dog herself doesn't reek anymore, wow.

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

Of the Inside Out 2 characters, I have been assigned Ennui.

I haven't seen Inside Out 1 or 2 so I have no idea what this actually entails, but I am imagining a beret and a cigarette

Compassionately intolerant

Maybe she's not 50+ yrs old?

Happiest natal days to all the October babies and graceful travel vibes for msbelle.

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

We watched the entirety of the 60s Addams Family as a family and ltc loved it. There was surprisingly few instances of racism or sexism for a show made in the 60s that required any kind of explanation.

Our wings are not tired.

But I had a really good time nonetheless with new friends and old.

Sorry about the lack of making out, but good times are a good thing.

Here's what I didn't put as answers in that damn form:

Ha! Looks about accurate.

I couldn't get into Wednesday. I don't have Netflix right now but I will try it again sometime.

Sorry to say, same. I'll try it again sometime, but I thought it was overdone.

Also, my dog rolled in something yesterday,

Why, oh why, do they have to drop on their backs when encountering the worst smelling gunk ever?

60s Addams Family was the bestest.

Overwhelmed here with sister's knee recovery (doing great), DH leaving tonight at 2:30 AM because we have to drive to Albany 2 hours away, work because my son still thinks it is better to call me than figure shit out. And more.

That sounds like a LOT, Laura. Sending some kinda useful vibes your way.

Also loved 60s Addams Family. The only other version I saw was the movie with Raul and Angelica, which, if you're going to remake it, excellent choices.

Ha! I haven't seen it either, -t, but now I'm picturing the same.
