Because books.

Did you get that too?

For a while, yeah. Not anymore, though.

Stephen just brought home the most incredible ice cream. It's a cheapo brand called Perry's, and the flavor is Piece of Cake. Tastes exactly like yellow cake, and has ribbons of chocolate fudge icing all through it. Yummmm.

O... kay. There was just a Target commercial with a bunch of middle school aged kids jumping around in their new school clothes, with their gear and supplies. To the tune of "I Like Big Butts" except it's I like back packs... I just can't separate the lyrics of the actual song from the fake lyrics enough to not be slightly weirded out by that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw that, too! My other issue with it is, will the target audience have even heard the original? Same with the ad using the Black Sheep song.

I was so scared I was going to get dry socket when I got my tooth pulled - the dentist said I was an "excellent candidate" - but thank god I was spared.

That commercial is weird. But my eight-year-old knew the song. Although he did see that episode of Friends in syndication.

Uh, what makes you a good candidate for dry socket?

is not going disclose the date of last visit to dentist, nor the state of unhurting teeth

Jen, Monique mentioned the commercial to me the other day and said how unsettling it was. I finally saw it the other night and emailed her, saying, "WOW. DISTURBING."

Worse than dry socket? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Allyson and Polgara can bear witness to the badness of the infection. They both got very familiar with tennis ball sized lump underneath my jaw. Polgara got to take me on one of my three trips to the ER. Allyson got to pick me up after my infection draining surgery.

ETA: Polgara also took me for the subsequent six-tooth extraction. Which I'm told was kinda entertaining.

Kristen, happy mulitiple vacation days to you!

I lust for these fluevogs.

Thanks, Kat! Did you have a nice birthday?

Mmm, I'm working up the nerve to buy Miss September fluevogs at full price in black. I waited too long on Zappos and they are out of my size. (I have them in olive).

what might pull me over is that Flues tend to be wide across the ball and I need that. And Miss S still look slim. Even at nearly $200. Which I've never paid for a shoe.
