OMG, love this lipstick.

Best lipstick. I need more. Mine are all needing a lipbrush again. I buy three at a time usually though because the MAC store is too crowded.

Grandma is out of surgery, they replaced the hip. A few hours in recovery, then back to her hospital room for a few days. I am going to go see her after work but I have to get home tonight eventually.

First mission after the cats have been fed will be to pack an overnight bag that can just live in my car along with an extra pair of jammies that can just move in to my parent's house.

I've also told my parents that I can come up after work twice a week and help take care of her while she recovers. Thankfully the guest bed is comfy and there's an iMac in the room.

I understand that it's hard to find reliable daycare for infants. I know Moms like to be with their kids. But I also know that I do not care to have hiccupping, slurping, grunting infants right behind me when I'm trying to work.

Yay for grandma's new hip, Cass! And quick recovery~ma for her, too.

Maria, your dress came! I'm squeeing like a squeeing thing because that dress is one of the most squee-worhty EVAH!

Still have no cake. I'm boycotting the peanut butter and holding out for better. At Vincenza's, whenever we go.

At Vincenza's, whenever we go.

Tonight or tomorrow night, them's the choices. It's up to you.

If J's right and calories really don't count on your birthday, we should probably go tonight. Did I mention they make their own gelato? And that the owner/chef is from Italy? Did I mention that it passed the sj / TCG test? With flying colors?

I've also told my parents that I can come up after work twice a week and help take care of her while she recovers.

Oh, dear. Cass, do you have (worse) trouble sleeping when you switch beds a lot? (NOT THAT WAY! Geez, people.) Just worried since you barely get enough sleep as it is.

Happy Birthday, Nicole!

Cass, fast healing~ma to your grandmother. If you have any questions about hip replacement, I have a friend who manages a surgical practice that does nothing but replace hips and knees.

Tonight it is, Nicole! I'm ready for a good Italian dinner. I'll cook tomorrow.

{{Cass}} Much sleep~ma to you.

Cass, Nicole frets for me.

I can't wait to see the pictures of Maria in that dress, except for my fear that the gorgeousness might be blinding.

Cass, Nicole frets for me.

And I fret for the rest of the world.

Don't forget to take care of yourself in the process.

Edit: Methinks Ginger exaggerates, but thank you anyway. I promise to link pics as soon as they're available.

Hey Ginger! Ima need info bout that there knee replacement procedure cause MIL will have that next month.
