I have nipples, and I'm not afraid to use them.

And she doesn't even like to hug!

I swear it's warmer outside than it is inside.

Which means, I've been outside! I've run errands! Now, I will shower.

Is the Buff Diver down cause shrift is moving? I shall pout.

Dunno. But it went down on me as well.

Though it's not like she has to pack up the files in wee little folders of funny to traipse about the country.

Help! I need Buffista shopping advice!

For years I've been carrying a messenger bag as my daily bag--I got it from CourierWare-- [link] --because they had a great tapestry cover and a lifetime guarantee. But frankly it's getting a little old having a big bag, and it doesn't have a padded pocket for my laptop. Also the tapestry cover's getting pretty worn. But I love my Courierware bag! Anyway, it's hard to find a laptop bag that looks professional and doesn't look like a laptop bag.

So I'm thinking about this Kara B laptop/messenger bag for the laptop: [link] And then a smaller purse/bag for daily use, maybe. I still love Courierware, and I'm looking at their small book bags, here: [link] with the Tapestry #3 cover.

I hate most purses but I need something smaller than a messenger bag and more attractive than a backpack.

Plei, do you know off-hand if you have to be a pro to buy MAC Chromacake?

Dunno. But it went down on me as well.

That's the kind of website the Bush Administration is talking about.

Ninja Nipples: It's what's for breakfast.

Except in our house where people are eating pancakes.

Tip for pancake makers: slice of banana and a chocolate chip on top can create a nipular effect.

We've got little league games today and tomorrow. I'm ready for the weekend to be over so I can get back to the unemployed enjoying of the house to myself.

xpost with Bitches for those following my work drama: my Weasel Boss quit and went to another firm. After being with my (ex)Firm for a mere six months of pure ineptitude and never figuring anything out.

Wow, I'm so behind here that it is quite pitiful, really. I feel like I've spent a week away from home, not on a vacation but one of those dreadful work-related "retreats". Only it's going to go on for another couple of weeks at least. SIGH.

Yeah, I still have a job. So the diamond shoes aren't really pinching too badly.

Huh.

We've got little league games today and tomorrow. I'm ready for the weekend to be over so I can get back to the unemployed enjoying of the house to myself.

We had the little league parade in our town, today. It's the first time all three children have played, and the first time we've participated with more than one child actually marching. It was chaos, finding the teams. Chris didn't even meet his coach until the parade, and we meet on the town common, so it's hard to find a guy you don't know in a crowd, you know? We came home with as many children as we left with though, and they seem to be the same ones, or at least fit in their clothing, so we're good.

I know what you mean about having the house to yourself. We just had April vacation, which I usually love, but I was sick for the last half of last week (but couldn't just take to my bed due to various commitments) and the first half of this week. Our little car died. Scott started working out of state. The mechanic called on Friday, and said he's going to have to take things apart to see if it is worth saving the little car (because it's a 91 Toyota, but it only has like 70K miles on it, and I bought it new back in the day).

So, yeah. Usually, I'm all about April vacation. This year, everything conspired to make it not work for me. I had more jammie days than I'd admit to, except dh is my witness, since he worked from home a couple of days. My routine has gone straight to hell, and although I usually hate when the kids go back to school, and he goes back to work, I really need that to happen, so I don't end up living in a house of filthy horror.

Timelies. 'suela, I've bought a sleeves for my laptops so that I can put them into whatever I feel like. Whereas there have been laptop thefts around here, no one's ever vultured after me. Even though my 17" PowerBook is so big that it peeks out of my canvas bag a bit. I think the fact that my canvas bag is so full of papers and shit as well has been somewhat protective. I bought my first sleeve from Spire and my 17" one from Tom Bihn. In fact, one of the ones with the tag. [link]

Like an idiot, I stayed up way too late again. Didn't get to sleep 'til 4amish. Woke up at 11. I'm full of things I want to do today and overwhelmed by it. I can't possibly do them all. But I want to! I hope I don't end up being non-productive as part of my usual all=or=nothingness. Want to get my bike in good shape (I haven't been able to take it out because of the construction but the high gas prices are going to make me fight to find a way). Want to go to the Farmer's Market...maybe do some Earth Day things. Want to start decluttering the house because it's depressing me. Need to rehearse. Want to clip the many many weeds going to seed in my garden. Can't possibly do all of this in one day.

Seriously? Who would believe this - other than the two women who did? A stranger knocks on my door offering to feel me up is gonna get a kick in the nuts and a slammed door.
