When I first got my IUD, I imagined it as a jolly little chicken, clucking merrily, scratching around, and poking into all the corners of a new barnyard -- which, incidentally, was actually the giant maw of a very cunning alligator, biding it's time.

Tomorrow I have to remember to poach a bunch of packing peanuts from work to fill up the bottom of ( Read more... )

This mind-blowing event is not coming anywhere near me. Not within a 3 or 4 state radius. My heart is all fucked up broken. I was ever-so looking forward to kidnapping my forever boyfriend's tiny one and teaching her the true meaning of joy, My Little Pony style. At least I can comfort myself with the knowledge that, if this whole crazy ( Read more... )

I made a really easy salad yesterday, which I like to call either Very Easy Red and White Quinoa Salad or You Bet Your Ass There Was a Good Reason For Moving That 99cent Can To My New Place, And This Salad is It Salad ( Read more... )
