Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I once became what I briefly thought was hopelessly trapped in a sweaty sports bra in a locker room. That was when I switched to the sort of sports bra that has hooks-and-eyes.
Aimee, you are not fat and stupid. The fatness is in your head and the stupidness is unpossible. You're attractive and funny; you have a great husband; and you have one of the cuter children in the world.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks for the hairpats, everyone.
I've not met any of MM's co-worker's, so I'm kinda nervous.

Years and years ago on tabletalk, there was a horrifically funny recounting of a tragic encounter with one of those slimming garments. I suspect it is a far too common phenomenon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Aimee, I think shopping for those things requires including close friends to help. They are truly evil.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Lobbyists cost a lot more than $6, but I don't know how much. Probably in the hundreds of thousands for a 3- or 6-month campaign.
I got stuck in it. I couldn't get out of it.
I find those things frightening, almost as frightening as strapless bras. Same rubbery-sticky stuff; same "okay, wait, if I can't reach the clasp, there is no way at all for me to get this thing off myself??"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I took Hec's book with me to the bar last night where it was coveted by Mr. Jane's coworkers and a music critic from our weekly rag. I will show it off to our musically inclined friends tonight- so Hec, be prepared for sales to shoot up by at least 8.
Sweet! I totally need to start sending you kickbacks.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Weekend plans:
Tonight: Meet Amyth and Smonster for a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in Raleigh.
Tomorrow: Shopping for the last Christmas gift on my family list, for baking ingredients to make office gifts, and for an outfit for the office Holiday party next week. And possibly a library run to recover from the sorrows expected from that last bit of shopping. Which is to say, {{{Aimée}}}.
Sunday: Hermiting like the utter hermit I am.

Because books.
Weekend plans: (if it ever stops snowing, that is)
Ben's second-ever basketball game. He scored last week, so he's very excited.
RWA chapter holiday party, which will include much food and filked (!) carols and holiday songs about the writing life.
Possibly taking Ben to see Goblet of Fire on Sunday, since we haven't been yet.
Possibly writing Christmas cards. Although there's a reason that's last on the list.
