8 hours and 25 minutes for daylight in Seattle today.

This is so relevant to my life right now as I sit in dreary-ass, cold-ass Maine. It’s 3:30 and almost completely dark. 3:30 is when I usually stop working and start fucking around on the internet anyway, hence why I’m here right now.

As I get older, my 3 P.M has become my 6 P.M. I now understand the reason for Early Bird Dinner.

The 40+ hour work week is ridiculous and it’s time it was abolished.

But Hazel, after today the days start getting longer again!  That’s what I just keep focusing on....

holy SHIT!

• Buying a $20,000 portrait of Donald Trump, which the charity then listed as an “asset” worth $700 in 2017 and $0 in 2018.

Yikes, I am so sorry to hear that. That sucks that its your BFF— at least with my co-worker I can go home from work and forget about her. You can’t avoid your BFF! Good luck with your friend, I hope she straightens herself out without your having to point out her problem.

I’m also an atheist with a big fondness for holiday lights. My house is tiny but it has a porch so I like to just wrap the whole porch railing and beams in white lights.

Positive thoughts for 2019

I have written previously about my co-worker on SNS and things have not improved and I am losing my mind. She is a sloppy and mean drunk with very little alcohol tolerance.

Getting ready to go to a Christmas Party with my “Mafia” since middle school/high school. The hostess makes a huge Italian feast and at her house and we all bring sides, desserts, drinks and appetizers. I made a green bean/kidney bean/tomato and red onion salad with a honey-mustard and fennel pollen dressing and a red…

A lil update for anyone who’s interested:

It’s been a year and a half since the former Mr. Chocobo and I split. I was super depressed and angry ,but I’m much better now. There’s no question of us getting back together but Mr. C and I are friends again. I went back to the city I used to live in to visit my parents and…

Whee! I’m in DC with The Bartender at an air bnb, getting ready to go to a Christmas party! Actually, the first of several. And I don’t know anyone, it’s all his friends, and I’m trying to be a good sport here. I’m a serious introvert and this is going to be dreadful. I have brunch at Compass Rose tomorrow to look…

I had plans for this weekend. Actually getting out of the house, getting things done, and with any luck finishing the last of the Christmas shopping...

Hi Jezzies,

YOU GUYS. I’m working a late night event tonight but my executive director just told me Michelle Obama might be visiting us!!! She’s in town for a book reading(?) which I couldn’t get tickets to, as I was working. Fingers crossed!

She doesn’t seem like the best decision-maker, but if I had to be in one of those enormous families I’d way rather have Suleman as a mom than that creepy Duggar woman.

Like many, I remember the trash circus around this story. The media was going wild and was obsessing over the minutest details of her life. There was a lot of gleeful coverage over how she couldn’t afford all of her children and how!dare!she! use welfare to feed her children when she’d made the choice to have so many.
