Don't tempt him.

Mornin' All.

Happiest B-Day to Ms. Cass E. Pants!!!

I had a Baked Potato for dessert. It's a potato shaped lump pf vanilla ice cream, rolled in chocolate dust, topped with caramel, whipped cream and garnished with mint.

Suddenly my vocab is reduced to words like "Guh" and "humminuh." I need a restaurant here that serves this to go to for my birthday This coming Tuesday, June 21st dessert.

Nice, but only b/c I'm a whore for the beach.

And yet, I have yet to see her in San Diego, weird...

In good/bad news...I paid for Mom's new cellphone a couple months back, 'cuz she didn't have the $, but really needed her phone replaced. Not as nice of me as it sounds, 'cuz of the $60-$70 I spent, I get a rebate for $50 of it. Except it kept not getting here. It was to go to Mom in the form of a gift card ('cuz her name on the account), she kept saying she hadn't gotten it. So I'm taking the recycling out last night and what do I find on the bottom of the "paper" pile but a form saying "Here's the $50 gift card you've been waiting for!" - however there's no longer anything stuck to the paper where the card should be. I show it to her and she says she must have mistakenly thought it was a scam or something and cut it up. I ask (hopefully) if it's in the shred bin. No, she says, the trash. So I have to go out to the trash, pull out the bag I had just put in and dump it on the lawn to find the card pieces. There's enough that I can still use the card for online or phone orders (nothing in person, of course, but I'll survive). So I got my 50 bucks - but I was so incredibly frustrated with her. I'm really hoping I wasn't accidentally too bitchy about it. She's said that she sometimes feels like I talk to her like I think she's dumb - I don't think that, but man, she does stuff like this...

So that's what I did last night instead of searching for tiaras to show my tiara-er.

I was putting myself on a temporary embargo from buying more DVD's because of the volume of them I have lying about unwatched as it is - but I think I may just have to get myself The Adventures of Pete and Pete to help me chill. And hey, I've got the credit, right?

How are y'all?

I keep thinking I should try an underwire bra, but I keep hearing stories of the heartbreak of poking and bending, and I'm not sure it's worth the bother. My sports bras have done yeoman's work holding up their end for years now.

Epic, you're a Solstice baby! The full moon's on the night of the Solstice, so everyone needs to go out and cavort on Midsummer's Night.

I've worn underwires for many years, and this is really the first bra that's been this determined to cause me anguish.

I've never been poked by an underwire. They're good to the girls, support-wise. I mean, I can wear a shelf bra. But I sure can't run in them without causing accidents.

Tep, duct tape is the obvious answer.

I don't wear anything but underwires. It takes some months of wear before they start poking.

I did not know about the full moon! Gotta remember to cavort.

Epic, you're a Solstice baby! The full moon's on the night of the Solstice, so everyone needs to go out and cavort on Midsummer's Night.

Yes, everyone come cavort with me!

I avoided underwires for years (actually decades), too. Finally something made me try the ones at Lane Bryant, and now I wear almost nothing else. Yeah, the old Playtex and/or Bali collection did ok for support, but it seems like underwires just give the girls a more attractive shape , or something.

leaping over many posts to say, you can get EW for $35/year here:

Or, if you qualify, you can get 4 years of Sports Illustrated + 4 years of Ent. Weekly for a total of $45 (yes!). Needless to say, the office went with that. It's a co. that pitches to professional businesses for their waiting rooms. 877-549-1820.
