I'm attempting to eat my first solid food of the day after spending all morning and most of the afternoon curled up in a fetal position after a nasty bout of food poisoning. Around noon, I started feeling well enough to sit up, and DH has been wonderful and went out and got me a smoothie, which I am drinking in very very small sips.

It occured to me a few hours ago that 5 years ago today, I was in a Spanish public hospital recovering (kind of) from even worse food poisoning. Clearly I just shouldn't eat during the first week of September.

Well, ita, I signed up for the Intro to Krav Maga for September 16th.

Kinda of a honorary wave to you, and to Ms. Levine and out of respect.

I am so out of shape, and expect it will kick my ass, but it should be fun. You know I'll be thinking of you the whole time!

Here's to all the ass-kicking women of the world. Salud!

Wow...I appear to have received some nomination from the Blue States overnight. Thank you very much...I'll outline the Ellsworth Doctrine shortly, but I'm a Democrat, so who wants to be in my Distracting Sex Scandal? I figured I'd ask in Bitches first.

t waves arms wildly

Can I be your lesbian lover who's married with three kids and a beard husband?

Have I mentioned how nice it is that Teacup Guy doesn't have to work on the weekends anymore? We had a nice brunch with Teacup Guy's dad, stepmother, and stepbrother.

Stay in bed doing bed thigns until 1030/11

I read this quickly and thought, "Why is beth staying in bed until October 30, 2011?"

{{{Jessica}}} Feel better.

Oh, wow. I hope you really enjoy it, and that it makes your life safer and a little more fun.

I feel like a 12-year-old. I'm drinking grape soda and about to eat really junky food that can kind of be called dinner (mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers and french fries) and watch Wedding Crashers.

ita, how are doing?

Saw Lee, Emily, Sparky and her DH. I made them walk up and down the street - with quick glimpses of our town. Matt said I was in docent mode. but I like talking about where I live. And Emily has more of her stuff - so she can feel at home.

And can I just say how BEAUTIFUL it is here in KC today? Cause it is spectacular!!!

Erin- I'm sort of new here; alas, I didn't know there were Buffistas in Kansas City! (I'm assuming by KC you meant Kansas City.) I recently moved to Southern California from KC, where I was attending graduate school at UMKC.

Are there other KCistas?

Thanks for asking, vw. Very quiet. I'm not liking being alone, but it's a weird feeling, and not one that makes me want to seek others out.

It's just a big drop separating from other mourners, even if we weren't mourning. My heart fell just unlocking my front door to come home. I just napped, and I think every dream had her in it.

This is so surreal. I know it's only been a few days, but it's dominating the air. And my posts...
