And when handed a red rubber knife to slay his stuffed dragon, threw the knife on the floor, gave the dragon his pacifier, and kissed the dragon.

He really is a Buffy fan.

Mal rocks! That is both cute and principled.

I got a short spring haircut on my lunch hour today.

I am really liking this trend.

Also, on Saturday I found an ungodly gorgeous vintage dress. Not in the least a sexy dress, but cuter than a boxful of buttons, fits me like a slightly roomy glove (i.e., I can not only wear it, I can wear it and go out and eat an actual meal without splitting a seam), fits over my extra-big crinolines perfectly, and only $34.

I am turning green with envy. Just so you know.

Hmmm, all my things to be happy about are fairly shallow, but fun. I will be getting some vintage bakeware (and a teapot) in the mail soon (all pink with black lids!); I'm going to see a fun concert next weekend; I'm meeting up with friends this weekend for a day of doing craft projects.

BWAH!

Betsy, those are awesome! And of course, they are only for sale in Germany and Japan (just like every pair of eyewear frames I want).

I am turning green with envy. Just so you know.

It is very cute. I don't know how to describe it because I don't have any of the dress-making vocabulary. Something 50s. It's a great color too.

I think of it as a very erinaceous dress. It's in that category.

Aimee, is that unusual?

Very, for me. Never had one that wasn't...um...induced by someone else.

Cash, if you are around, would Olivia like a pair of Robeez pink trainers, size 0-6 months? Ellie's pair are now too small, although they still have lots of life in them. Feel free to say no, but I'd rather give them to someone we know than just give them away.

Is this the one JZ was wearing Saturday? because it was a great dress.

Dh just called - his head is clogged on the same side as mine. I can't decide if this is cute or what. Sadly, my hearing makes being on the phone a pain. I just spent 15 minutes in the bathroom steaming up the place...it only helped my head while it was in the steam.

thin mints are good.

So....has anyone had anything *good* happen to them lately? Because it seems like Perpetual Existential Rain Of Toads is falling upon the Bitches.

My Rain of Toads seems to be ending. That killer, mutant UTI plus something else no one can figure out, seems to be passing.

Things are great with Fella.

The other night, after one of those heavy, deep and real conversations that clear out the fear and draw a couple together, we both said (I in my head, he outloud) "If I ever get married again, it will be with a handfasting." at the exact same time

Huh.

In a month, it will be 25 years since the day I got married (divorced 7 years later). I never thought I'd ever even consider doing that again.

And yet? Here we are, fantasizing about ceremonies...simultaneously.

Huh.

Is thisa the one JZ was wearing Saturday? because it was a great dress.

That's it.
