i am curious as to what your T meant by that. are you planning on asking her to elaborate on it? i wonder if she meant something similar to being "in the thick of things", sort of like things are really heating up and you want to go on the back burner to cool down a bit. i'm not sure what i am. maybe a tomato sitting on the cutting board who doesn't want to get in that dang pot. i think i'll chill out and be gazpacho instead.
