Is it ever okay to leave work because of boy-driven low self-worth? Is that like sick time, or vacation. I can't even focus and everything is taking so long to accomplish.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

OMG, Megan. How soon did you notice??
I didn't! My coworker alerted me about 5 minutes after. I don't think anyone else saw. Luckily we only have 1 man working here.
Trudy! Do you still need a pimiento cheese recipe?
Did my underpants revelation remind you of pimento cheese?

Oh Robin, you so have my sympathy about the dentist stuff. And the too much money for unfun things stuff, too. I have no doubt, however, that your party will be Teh Awesome, because you and the BF ROCK!
I am still bummed that I didn't throw myself a birthday party last year when I was turning an age worth celebrating, but it just didn't make sense with my MiL going through major surgery at the same time and all. Oh well.
Speaking of birthday parties, I need to start planning a certain little girl's.

Only if you plan on doing something completely self-indulgent, like getting a facial and drinking martinis with Polgara. Then it's like taking a personal day and it's totally legit.

pimento cheese recipe
Trudy, I emailed my dad and he couldn't find it last night. He said he'd keep looking, though, so I'll send it to you when he finds it. It may be too late for your current function, but maybe it'll come in handy someday :)

Good to know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the only thing not allowed is wallowing.

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?
Pimiento Cheese:
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 T Worcestshire (sp??) sauce
1 T yellow mustard
1 - 1.5 C mayo
1 large jar pimientos (keep in mind, this is still a pretty small jar, but there's a tiny jar and a not-so-tiny jar. Get the bigger one.)
Dump everything in a blender or food processor and blend till your desired smoothness. I like mine fairly smooth.
It will be runnier than you expect, but it will thicken up on refrigeration.
If you do double or triple batches, you will need to do it in batches otherwise it won't all fit in your blender/food processor.
Enjoy!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I use shredded cheese, a couple of teaspoons of powdered mustard and Tabasco to taste. Then I add mayonnaise a little at a time until it's spreadable. I'm not much of a mayonnaise fan. I think it works best if you pulse the food processor and leave it a little chunky.
eta: And the larger size of pimentoes. Without that, it's just smashed cheese. At little of the pimento juice cuts down on the mayonnaise you need and makes it more pimento-y.
