Speaking of tiaras, I think I dropped the ball a little bit on the Tiara Exchange. I know I lost the spreadsheet with all the information in one handy place. I should have three copies, but I seem to have no copies. Sooooo, if anyone who participated could drop me a line and say whether they (a) got their tiara and/or (b) sent one, that would really help me out.

I'm totally Skimmpy McSkipperson right now, this job is eating my head starting with my bottom. HUgs, sympathy, congratulations and glitter to any who need it.

Oh, I did catch that Olivia Rose has entered the world. You go girl!

My car...she is still not ready. It's been a month. They are waiting on part that is made in one factory in Japan every other month that contains the letter "O", I think.

Kristin, I don't want to discourage you, so think of this as managing expectations. When I got into an accident with my Subaru Forester, it took 7 weeks for the repairs because of the send away to Japan for parts issue. I think that's fairly standard for Subarus. Even in an area like mine where there are a LOT of Subarus on the road.

Portland, she is a pretty little city.

And with that skip, I am off to wander some more and have dinner.

I'll wing the generic ~ma out for those that need, want, should have but don't want to say anything.

Kisses, bitches!

I just watched "Millions", which was...odd. And cute. And odd.

We were going to see "Something New", but it was sold out. (Edit: Millions being on DVD, Something New being in the theater)

hi meara! Miss you as of late.

I went shoe shopping tonight.

Got these and these

I got the black ones for work shoes. Hopefully they'll be comfy.

Saw the hemotologist regarding my anemia. I am now on a series of IV iron treatments - oh boy.

MG, Hope the treatments do the trick. And quickly, as I know you really don't have a heck of a lot of time to just lie around having things dripped into your bloodstream.

Burrell, I think it was, responded to me:

Just woke up from an interesting dream: ita and Patrick Stewart were fighting. In the middle of the fight, ita had some back trouble, so Patrick graciously performed a chiropractic adjustment on her, and they continued fighting.

That may well be the best buffista-inspired dream evah.

Needless to say, which is good because I apparently forgot to say it before, she then proceded to kick his butt.

Count Chocula!

This issue has me steaming. I just sent the following feedback to QualityHealth.com. It is a website where one answers a few survey questions in order to receive free samples.

"Answering questions for the Purrell hand sanitizer sample, I came across this question: "By checking yes below, a letter will be sent to Congress urging them to pass Medical Liability Reform legislation and you will receive further information." It is beyond deceptive to make such a suggestion: It is theft of our freedom. You want lobbying pressure on Congress for some cause? Bloody buy it. Faking up surveys and drumming up dummy letters of support for your cause, unfortunately is the American way, these days. But I will not cooperate. I am not foolish enough to agree to have a letter sent to congress in my name which I am not given the opportunity to read about an issue which you intend to inform of only AFTER you send the letter."

Now, I can think of a number of ways in which medical liability could be reformed that would benefit the entire country. But ain't no way I'm going to fall for their lying, theiving trick. If they had my best interests in mind, they would not need to resort to this utter insanity.
