Either, or. Six-pack one way, 40 ounce the other.
And the paper bag doubles as gift wrap! Brilliant!
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Try Laptop Alley for a brand name. Never mind, I think it's for plugging in or something.
For you ladies out there taking a certain type of pill, may I recommend the NuvaRing. My gyn put me on it after she took me off of the patch, and it's like the most convenient thing ever. Set it and forget it!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This is why I am the Empress.
And also an overinflated sense of importance. But whatever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I will run by Bed, Bath, and Beyond tomorrow, and look at laundry/shower accessory things. I should be able to find something useful and easy to pack.
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
Also, The Container Store has really cute little shower totes that I now want desperately, despite the fact that I have zero need for them.

What is even happening?
Thanks, everyone. I'm just going to call it a renta-P.C., I guess.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Were Hec and JZ's electric kettle posts a crosspost or post and follow-up?
Crosspost. I loved and revered my electric kettle and got OMG so much use out of it (my dorm also forbade toaster ovens and mini-microwaves and such, but automatic-shutoff electric kettles were permitted).

I'm with Plei on the Omega-3 pills. No one mentioned, didn't take them, kids seem just fine. Of course, I eat a lot of (low mercury) fish, but also I tend to place more value on the supplements you take to avoid known problems (helllooo folic acid!) than supplements that purport to "improve." The science for the first tends to be a lot more reliable than the science on the second.
Even with breast feeding. I mean, I am totally pro-breast feeding, but the science behind the claims that it improves intelligence? Totally weak.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The benefits of Omega-3 that I've always heard are cardiovascular, lowering triglycerides, etc. I don't know of the prenatal benefits, but I haven't been in a position to find out about those, either.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
NuvaRing rocks the house -- I used to feel like total crap for the first week of pills (nausea/headaches), and with NR it's down to about 12 hours. Go go team localized hormone release!
There are types of fish that pregnant woman are supposed to avoid/eat minimally. But I am not sure what they are.
Basically anything that eats other fish -- the mercury levels can be dangerously high.
