Suspicious Minds.
This morning, as I reached the door of my office, I heard someone yell “Miss.”
I looked up to see this guy jogging towards me from the direction of the parking lot. Fixing him with my best steely gaze that I reserve for all the weirdos and drug addicts in downtown Quincy, I said icily “Yes?”
He held up his hand “You dropped your gloves and you were too far away to...

Thanks For Having Me.
Heading down the back stairs to the laundry room, it smells amazing. Someone cooked a full-out breakfast — eggs, sausage, potatoes, toast.
It would be weird for me to knock on doors until I found the right apartment and then invited myself in, wouldn’t it?

Because You Need to Dress for HIM, Not You.
MSN has a lovely story on it’s front page: 17 Date Outfits Your Guy Will Love.
It includes such gems as:
Date outfit idea: something he can figure out how to take off
Described as: I like when girls wear fitted clothes that aren’t too complicated or that look like they need an instruction manual to get into—or out of. Nothing that looks too constricting or with any extra ribbons or ...

Obsessed.
I can’t stop eating baked potatoes.
I have had one almost every for a week. I’m not sure what this is all about.

meanmrmustard replied to your post: So — How About This Snow?
How much did you get? We got around 8”.
We got about 11 inches — none of which I brushed off my car. I drove to work with enough space to peer out and I’m hoping the sun melts the rest.
Based on what they were saying last night, that brings us to about 62” for the season so far.

So -- How About This Snow?
Where are we going to put it all?
The next person who asks me either one of these questions is going to get beaten with my snow brush.
“His theme last night was wtf, winning the future. I thought, okay, that acronym...”

Tussling Over Jesus. →
The National Catholic Reporter newspaper put it best: “Just days before Christians celebrated Christmas, Jesus got evicted.”
Yet the person giving Jesus the heave-ho in this case was not a Bethlehem innkeeper. Nor was it an overzealous mayor angering conservatives by pulling down Christmas decorations. Rather, it was a prominent bishop, Thomas Olmsted, stripping St. Joseph’s Hospital and ...

Delayed Opening at Work.
That means pancakes, cookies, oodles of tea and generally sitting around until the last possible second.
And yes, I will wait until I have to leave to deal with the snow-covered car.
