I couldn't find a spoon in my desk drawer, so I'm eating my applesauce like a cat drinks water. I bet I'll be embarrassed if someone comes around the corner into my cubicle ( Read more... )

There's two hours of my life I'll never get back and there's no way to unsee it. What a piece of undulating shit.

In descending order of importance...sort of:

If that's the case, I won't have to worry about having a super duper industrial strength cleaning for watchamacallit's wedding in December. Also, I'll be able to eat carrots with hummus again!!!!!

It's cold. I'm tired (tired tired tired--can't believe a 5K can make you this tired!), and we came home from the community Christmas party to doggy devastation in the form of lots of eaten gas-x.
