I'm glad no one in my life texts me..... cuz if a text pissed me off I'd hate to think how I'd react...

speaking of texts, I got a cell phone today. I was forced to, I swear! I hate the damned thing already, I don't want it, i resent having to carry it.
Damn it all!

No no no. You're looking at this all wrong. You don't jump out a window. You THROW THEM out the window. You solve the problem, with no wear and tear on your own fabulosity.

Pput those gah emoticons where the walk so they can slip on them and fall. It will be their own fault for being oblivious to frustration.

3.5 hours from the nearest major city. There's a biggish border town nearby, but they don't have an airport. It's not too bad, I'm used to the travel. Just not at 1 in the morning. Quote:

Do you guys ever find yourself writing a chapter at least three times before you get it right? It seems to be emerging as a pattern.

Oh! With any luck, Project Save The Orchids will be coming to a close to tomorrow morning. The cord for the heater is in and they'll be here between 8:30 and noon to install.
Of course, since I have to be presentable by 8:30, they'll come at 11:45...
