Roomy told me yesterday that she had pulled something out of the pantry and everything started falling out, so she shoved it all back in. Why, WHY would you do that? Don't tell me that you're doing it! That's like shooting me in the foot at close range when I'm standing in salt water! Unfortunately this is about all I have for now, as most of my brilliant ideas come to me at five in the morning. Wait, no, five thirty.
