What Mike just said

"Some of the best parties I've ever been to are the ones I have at home by myself with a bottle of Jack. I control the music, I don't have to tip a bartender, and I like my dogs more than I like people."

A common occurrence

It is 10:48 a.m. and I have yet to accomplish one thing that I intended to do this morning. Not that I haven't been busy - I have been. Just not busy with the work I anticipated getting done before noon.

The same thing happened yesterday, too. At this point, I'm almost two days behind schedule. Maybe if I stop taking those afternoon Twizzler breaks, I won't have to announce my total failure to make any progress.

My current front-runner for this spring's cutest shoes ever:
