Are you able to obtain marshmallows where you live? I have a vague recollection that they were unknown in Europe, but that could be outdated or mistaken.

When faced with quandaries such as this, my usual response is, “Why not both?”

My experience with blackberries is that they are nearly impossible to kill, even if they look kinda ratty.  
Then again, maybe the thornless kind is more delicate. I’m familiar with the wilder type.

Having produced almost no trash this week, I made the executive decision to ~~say “fuck it”~~ skip this chore for the week.

I want it on record that I _didn’t forget._

HA! Mumpers were on a roll today!

I have my appntmnt. with the tax accountant tomorrow, and no, I haven’t gathered my paperwork yet.  
Most of it’s in my mailbox, and one thing is online that I think last year I emailed to myself and then forwarded.

I just haven’t put on my Big Girl Panties yet, and hey, I worked all day today!

I’m definitely not getting a refund this year - it’s more a matter of how badly this one’s gonna hurt.

I got decent $$ back last year and very irresponsibly spent it like a drunken sailor, so I feel like this is penance for financial sins or something.

Awww DAMMIT!! I vaguely kinda thought earlier about stopping at Arby’s on the way home for another BLT but forgot until just now & it’s too late.
