Why would you put something on your lips that hurts?
Because it tingles and I like the taste. Same reason I eat spicy foods.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Thrive to spite them
My pants dig into me because I'm a wee bit rounder than I was when I got them.
We're doing this weight loss thing at work and I haven't lost, I feel bloated and yucky and today I get a call from my HMO saying I'd never scheduled an appt with the nutritionist for the referall I asked for and could I come in on the 4th for some kind of class thing.
So I'm going in, hopefully this will help kick start me.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

When I lost 7 lbs in one week I cut out most of my salt intake, cut out all simple sugars & drank A LOT of water. You could try that.

What is even happening?
Cindy, I tried your ham and butter sandwich today. SWEET LORD. I never knew a sandwich could taste so good! Last night I also tried a bite of my friend's escargot. I am sad to report I couldn't get it down, and had to spit it into my napkin.
It's not mine. I've never had it. I'm thinking from Nora's reaction that maybe it was her sandwich. I have eaten roast beef and butter though, which is good, too.
I'm hatehatehating my hair because the gray is coming in on the roots and I need color and I'm dithering about pregnancy/hair color issues and feeling like a complete slob.
My hairdresser said that the cap was fine. If highlights will disguise your grey, you might want to try it. My OB wouldn't even give the thumbs up for the cap, because (a) He knows I'm a chicken, and; (b) He said why bother, it's only 9 months.
Easy for him to say. He looked 12. A little grey might have made me not feel like I was getting an internal from my lab partner.

I've mentioned that my OB is a woman with kids who bleaches her hair, right?
No shit was given to me. I asked!
I did use low-chemical tints from the second trimester on (henna for the first tri), but the grey didn't really get to see the light of day, not even for nine months.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I dearly love the ham and butter sammiches -- could have been me. Aren't they sublime?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
When I get home I take off my clothes and put on something comfy, usually a tshirt and underwear
Does this mean you usually don't wear underwear out of the house??
ham and butter sandwich
Ham & butter? Just ham, butter & bread? Trying to picture....

Our grocery store makes a fabulous ham and butter sandwich. Baguette. Good ham, sliced thin. Good butter.
Perfection.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Bother, I can work again...
I think I am going to try using b.org just a little while I am at work. Not all the time, but sometimes...
This is how crack works, isn't it?

move out and draw fire
I can only get a babysitter on Tuesday and Thursday, and my hairdresser is only open MWF...but that's okay as she lets me bring Mal in and park him in the corner. Which is fine as long as we aren't doing color, as I don't want him exposed to the fumes. He's protected from the hair bits.
I don't really have gray. I have a few bright white hairs, but not enough or close enough together to make gray. I'm not sure how this happened, as my mom was completely gray by age 20, my dad was completely gray by 30 (the little bit of hair he had left), and my sister was completely gray by 30.
Quitter!
Ppffbbtt! I wouldn't be getting it cut "Hec-short" anyway, as I'm the one person that would make you say "You know, long hair is better." I look like Carol Burnett with any short cut.
