morning. I had high tea at the Ritz Carlton yesterday. FANCY!
Very cool.
I need to do my laundry, but all of the machines are full.
Adds one more item to the reasons to buy a condo list.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So cute, Laura!
Aren't you Miss Fancy Pants Belle?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
ita was our security guard last night at the LA Lakers charity auction thingy. Alibelle and I got lost and then pulled over for speeding by the cutest LAPD officer, evar. He gave us a break. Alibelle tried to give him an autographed glossy of the Laker Girls, but he said his grandma gave him one a few years ago so he's all set.
So that was my evening.

I like the non-posed pictures best - the one in which he's leaning and waiting, for example.
That was my favorite. It was tough to snap a bunch and get out of there quick before he was too annoyed with me. Luckily he was more eyerolly than annoyed.
That Al Gore bit was wonderful! I don't know how he managed to not crack up.

Just got back from the Container Store, which is really the most fun store ever. (Yes, I'm a freak.) I got a thingy shaped like a flower to put on my desk and hold notes, two boxes (one pink, one blue) to hold craft supplies and exercise stuff (free weights, yoga mat, etc), a hamper, a spice rack, a shower shelf, and a shoe rack. So far, the shower shelf isn't that good (the suction cup falls if I put more than one bar of soap and one half-empty bottle of shampoo on it), but everything else is working nicely.

Great pictures, Laura.

he said his grandma gave him one a few years ago
This may be my favorite part of the story, thanks to the grandma.
he was more eyerolly than annoyed
So he's nice, too, ha? Not that I'm surprised.
Hil, yay for new things!

I'm with you on the Container Store love. Those type of places are dangerous for me.

This [link] is my favorite new thing that I bought. I went in with a vague sort of "I need somewhere to put random little slips of loose paper that I can't throw away yet," and this was both perfect and adorable.

Mr T. video: painful
Al Gore video: also painful but only by contrasting it to where we're at.
More coffee required.
