Move to Alaska? Start over? I hear it’s nice there at this time of year. I recently read some L.M.Montgomery and am considering Ontario as a generally appealing destination.

If only I could.

There, there. This week will soon be over.

What happened? Did they accidentally see you in underwear or did you spill an iced drink in front of them?

No, but I keep having half run-ins with them.  Like we'll be in our cars and see each other, but we intentionally get out at different times.  Or it'll be bad weather and we'll just scurry around each other on the walkway.  Last weekend my father straight up tried to introduce me to one of them while they were chatting because he was grilling on the back porch and she was in the yard with her dog, but I was only out there to tell him I was leaving and she had to go pick up dog shit at the same moment so it didn't happen.

But this time, I was just getting back from the gym, so I was all sweaty and out of breath and still had my headphones in, and they were getting stuff from their car and the headlights were on and they had a guy with them.  And then we all wound up on the porch at the same time and didn't say anything as I struggled to unlock my door in the dark.

It was just a mess.

Mulaney and the thing about cancelling plans being like heroin

Dresses are my favourite. If nothing else, at least you don’t have to wonder what top to wear.

How bad is it? If it’s too short, that’s a bad thing, but just a poor cut can be fixed.

Oh, there are parts that can be fixed, like on the sides.  The problem is that it's a very inconsistent level because she cut it at an angle, and the middle section of the chunk she did is too short.  Like I don't even know what someone could do.  Because I have a cowlick, which I told this lady to work around (in that I just wanted the bangs to be long enough to push to the side to cover it), and that didn't happen.

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

2) The Book Thief - Marcus Zusak

I’ve had that for a week or so now. Can’t fall asleep early enough, and then have to force myself to get up in the morning. I blame the weather.We have no snow this year.It’s appalling. I don’t know what you can blame but surely there’s something.

We had a bunch of snow, then it got warm and the rain today seems to have washed most of it away, but it's still miserable and it's going to get colder, so I'm all for blaming the weather.
