We use the word "snorgle." "Let's snorgle on the couch." "We should be snorgling."

You responded to me! My heart is all a'flutter.

Oh dear me, I read that as "died" and it was terrible.

I was walking down the street with an armful of sparkly garlands last Saturday and neared an elderly couple. "Isn't it nice," she said, clutching her husband's arm and staring at me, "to see that we're still allowed to celebrate Christmas?"

Can't we just once, just once in the modern era, have a movie that's actually true to the original novel, which is more horror than romance? Super ugly creepy Erik, torture chamber full of mirrors, the Persian, all of it? It's so dark and has such a great atmosphere. These adaptations make 12 year old me sad.

Oh oh oh I'm so excited! Candy corn and wine, stat! I've been waiting all year for this!

But how irritating is that voice at the end?

This was my jam when I was about five years old! My very first favorite song ever. I recorded the refrain for my dad for father's day in my wee baby voice. It's still on a cassette tape somewhere, lost without its Walkman...

Thank you! I think I will.

I do plan to be selfish, haha! I'm not afraid to pull out the "it's my wedding!" card. I've been the opposite of a bridezilla so far, but I'm not afraid to 'zilla out if need be. Thank you!

Thank you! Quality over quantity.

Thank you! That's so sweet :-)

Thank you! As my fiance said, "don't poke the bear." I'm going to let my bro be and hope he shows. If not, too bad. I'm so looking forward to the honeymoon, I just hope I'm not still sick! Stupid cold. As long as I end up married to him at the end of the day, I'm happy.

I finally caught Sunday Night Sign-off!

This absolutely. I know someone who has kids, and she dislikes both being a mother and her children, and is vocal about it. She'll stage whisper "God, I hate our kids" while they're in the back seat and can clearly hear here, and they're old enough to understand and retain that now. She'll wax about how much she hates…

Mariska needs to get a cat and name it Taylor Swift. Then the circle will be complete.

I went to a hypnotherapist to deal with my arachnophobia. It really, really helped. I had to go multiple times and now that years have passed it's faded a bit but it absolutely was worth it. I wouldn't be able to do it via recordings but with a professional it's great.

Eh, I've eaten rabbit and guinea pig enough times that I see them now and find it bizarre that they're considered pets and not food. Some cultures eat dogs, and probably find it bizarre that I would never do that. To each their own.

I hadn't thought about it that way! So many of my crazy stories come from Peace Corps, now I wish I could dump them all here under the guise of "work stories" but instead I'll hoard them and dole them out a bit at a time...

Arghhhh I missed last week and I have THE BEST animal story, I'm going to post it because I'm gray now anyway!
