i suppose that if i want to know whether they like their roommates, it should be dylyrms? Or iynji? (is your new job interesting?).

It is all so very confusing.

I ate too much casserole and now I have a stomachache.

Or, since I'm a Midwesterner, "Oh, cripes, I ate too much'a dis hot dish and now my stinkin' guts hurt, eh. I'm not even gonna have no room fer beer n' cheese curds."

Going through Chick-fil-A drive thru. They always ask for a name to put with the order. I always give them a different name, just to be somebody else for a bit. I have come up with some good ones. And they call you by that name with MR. in front of it.

I have a friend who always tells people at restaurants where they do that, that his name is Elvis.

I washed a fairly new bedspread and some of the tiny tassels around the edges are coming undone.

I am planning to make tacos tonight, I have a friend visiting. I am not 100% positive I have all the ingredients, but I think I have most of them. However, once I get home, I'm not going out again. So I will stop at the store and buy up everything I would need, because I'd rather have extra, than not enough.

The part I'm really whining about, is that I will be stopping at Walmart. I hate that place.

People jogging in the heat of the day cause me much distress. Slogging along, looking about to drop dead, with no consideration at all for how it makes me feel. I sometimes wonder if I should slow my car down and keep pace, keeping a styrofoam cup of cool water on hand.

I second this, SeaOfGrass. A woman who was in her late 70s jogged past my house today and she made me feel like a real slug. I hosed her. (Just kidding. I just used my squirt gun.)

Oh, wait. You're concerned for the well-being of the joggers! I just get all, "Wha? You think you're better'n meee?"

Well, actually, first it irritates me because is it really that much of an imperative? In this heat? You look like you're on your last legs. Then it irritates me because I feel like it's going to be my civic duty to pull over and save them when they, seemingly inevitably, lose consciousness and fold to the ground.
