• Update: I decided to leave the fate of the bottoms of my feet to chance. This morning, I lotioned only around the outside edges and have, thus far, remined upright.
  
  
• Of course, I'm also wearing a dress that, given any opportunity, will gap open in the front and show my goods (And make no mistake, they are good)to all and sundry.

The girls have learned to throw the goat.
You must be *so* proud!

but at least the cheese is Tillamook.
Mmmm. I miss Tillamook.

(And make no mistake, they are good)
Figures this would be a day when I have to be at work.

You must be *so* proud!

Well, I think the two main reasons to have children are 1)someone at whom to laugh; and 2)lawn/kitchen duty. I feel like I'm getting my money's worth on #1. We're still working on #2 (hahahaha!)

Haha, gin and juice habit.

I found the link I was going to give you the first time you mentioned that house in Cozumel thing ... if you aren't tied to Cozumel, I found this website a few months ago and kept it thinking at some point getting some friends together to do this would make it affordable and kind of fun ... some of these are priced insanely high, but there's a few that seem reasonable:

I think it's possible that your idea of reasonable and my idea of reasonable might not be exactly the same. =) Those places look incredible, though, and if you had a big group, it might be feasible. Wow!

Wheat Thins and sharp cheddar cheese (With a Coke, of course. I'm not some kind of barbarian!) is the perfect breakfast. Ok, Wheat Thins and spicy peanut butter is even better, but at least the cheese is Tillamook. (emphasis added)

Okay, HOW MUCH DO I LOVE YOU????

[jessindenver]

This much?

and Claire adding, "Totally, dude!"

I remember being at the vanguard of the dude movement in seventh grade. As a nation we were migrating away from man, which had served its purpose well but was over. I would have expected dude to be over by now, but instead it's just moved into both the new generation and the female half of the population, just as man did, even though it has a putatively male definition (just like man).

It's interesting how this default term always goes from men --> women, just like clothes. It will be a peculiar America if I wake up one day and we're all addressing each other as girlfriend or chick.

[jessindenver]

Well, there's bitch, which seems to have successfully made the move from fully female to a more unisex context.

[ginsu]

Good point. Also, ho and slut can now be applied to men.

It seems that blatant insults go from women to men, whereas characterizations of humdrum mediocrity go from men to women.

[jessindenver]

It is interesting, too, that bitch seems to have different meanings for men and women. For men it tends to connote a subservient role (I'll make him my bitch,) or excessive whininess (I'll make him my whiny little bitch). For women, it usually describes someone who is cruel and/or ruthless.

I think ho and slut are equal opportunity insults and translate roughly the same across genders.

(Or an asshole thing, she thinks, but doesn't say [Ok, she sort of says it, making her the asshole this time.].).

totally made my day.
