State Fair, Baby!
It's hot and sticky in my room and that is making me mildly cranky, but not really. Exciting things are happening! The state fair! Days off! PEOPLE HAVING BABIES. It's hard to be cranky with all that going on. So I'm not cranky, really. Just sticky.
Ahem. I ended up cancelling the date I'd planned tonight. Given that I'm anxiously checking ( Read more... ) -

It Is Technically Spring
I say "technically" because I know better than to piss off winter by challenging it like that. I KNOW YOU CAN COME BACK, WINTER. You asshole.
But it is officially, technically, spring, and it is GLORIOUS. Even if it snows again (and I hope, oh how I hope) that it doesn't, it will be a last gasp of winter. We made it through another one! It was ( Read more... ) -
Floss?
When I was a kid, my parents took me to a dental office owned by an old friend of my grandfather. He was a kind, avuncular old man, who came in at the end of every appointment, peered gravely into my mouth, and then smiled and told me I was doing a good job.
