I'm completely pissed at our flexible spending people. They're denying over $350 of payouts--which I KNOW is my prepaid OB fees. Every time I've asked my OB for a proper printout of the fees, I get three pages of billing and payments so I'm sure these fuckwits can't figure out that $360 of that filing is FOR DAMNED DOCTOR so they need to be PAYING US OUR MONEY. *fume*

erika, thanks. Your police~ma is second to none.

Maria, it's so good to see you, you married lady! I'm so sorry about the store and your dad and sister. That sounds so scary.

Thanks, Stephanie. I don't think I had the chance to tell you how happy I am that Joe is finally home with you and Ellie. Things are sliding into their proper places.

Gris, so do I. I want to have the chance to tell him exactly what he did to our family.

Hey Plei, what size is Lily wearing these days?

Mostly 6-9, with a few hangers-on in 3-6. If she was still in disposable diapers, she'd probably be in 3-6 for another few weeks, as she's short (24 3/4") and not that heavy (just under 15lbs on Friday), but her giant cloth ass makes them a little tight unless they are separates.

I just put her in this size's edition of the pink gingham dress. Not quite as cute as the 3-6 month sundress one, but comfortable and sturdy. Hmm. Need to find one for the next-size-up stash. I also need to audit the next-size-up stash to see what I should be looking for when I hit the consignment stores.

Gris, fritattas are great. Go fritatta.

Plus, they're fun to say. Fri-tat-tas.

I love the word. It's so fratboy-meets-food. Look at the fri-tat-tas on that one! Woo!

One of my favorite food-names-that-sound-like-a-dirty-word is focaccia. It sounds like an Italian swear. Well focaccia you, too!

Cashmere, I'm sorry for the trouble you're having, but thank you!

I went out and spent an obscene amount of money at lunch today, and now I remember that on Friday I submitted receipts to my FSA for almost that much, so now I don't have to feel all bad about it like I was starting to! Whoot!

Mine's more of a "Gee, I could really use that money to pay off a bill or two, rather than you holding it hostage, FUCKERS!" feeling.

Does egg count as meat, kosher-wise? The frittatta might be a problem, then. Blintzes are also yummy with stuff like that, but same egg issue, if there is one.
