We are on week three of JP's current strike refusing to do dishes.  As a result, we have eaten out every.single.meal this week.  I have gained back all of the weight that I sweat out in last week's plague and then some.  And yet he can't seem to connect the fact that one of the reasons that he is gaining weight after quitting smoking is that he ( Read more... )

Oooooooooooooo:
So I used the money from the mechanic who crashed my car and some of my tax returns to put a big fat down payment on a shiny New-Used car.  I bought an '07 Suburu Outback.  After driving Maisie's Forrester these past few weeks, I have decided that safety trumps everything; this is the car that our kids will be in after all. Then JP ( Read more... )

Influenza sucks.  I now totally get why people are massively wiped out in flu epidemics.  My temp went to 102, my head felt like it was seriously going to explode.  I am still pretty weak.  I went to a friend's bridal shower yesterday and had to come home and take a FIVE HOUR nap. All of my clothes are too big on me.  There was actually a point ( Read more... )

This is a lovely little film from A&E about gay marriage. For a tv film, the characters were well developed, and the script well acted. And, it makes its point without being preachy or cutesy.

I forget sometimes that I am a tree hugging, dirt eating liberal, and that the entire country doesn't feel the same way that I do. It amazes me that gays don ( Read more... )

Because of his severe sleep apnea, JP very rarely reaches REM sleep. At least that's what his doctor said after his last sleep study. So when he started taking Chantix, we thought that out of all the potentially weird side effects, the vivid dreams wouldn't be one of them. WRONG ( Read more... )

So I finished JP's hat, and except for a little mistake on the back seam, it came out perfectly. Proof positive that the reading teacher CAN read and follow a knitting pattern ( Read more... )

It feels like the more news that we get, the worse the situation becomes. We want to DO something, and we're stuck here where we can worry and talk to each other about how awful this is, how unfair.

This is so funny, especially after my hairy chest in a wedding dress dream!

"I'd really rather be more comfortable not doing this assignment."

"Yes, well, I'd really rather be more comfortable on a beach in Hawaii. Get to work."

I really am kind of turning into my mother.

My face totes feels like its going to implode. And I totally want to whine and bitch about it, but what good would that do? I ache from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. This sucks for several reasons, the most obvious being that aches and chills like this are more common with influenza, and the other being that I really can't afford to ( Read more... )
