Mom just doesn't know how to chill and heal. She has been to the dog park and to a doctor's appointment on her own today - and then completely wiped out in bed for the afternoon/evening. Tomorrow she wants to hit the Mervyn's sale when they open at 7 in the morning, and then go for a hair appointment. I expect her to crash out again when she gets home from that.

Oy.

I know she is a grown up and it is her body and she should know what she can handle - but geeeesh.

Sparky and I are going to the Marina square outlets tomorrow

Over here, not far from me? Ooooooh, that has possibilities.

You should make your self one instead.

But, but...that defeats my purpose of getting you out here so we can raise some hell. Or shop. I'm good with both.

Yep, in San Leandro. We're meeting at the new Eileen Fisher store at noon, if yiou want to join us.

Oh, I so totally need to make a trip to DC soon. Can't be tonight though, what with the whole too much tequila already.

Cass, headaches should always have a good reason.

ita, how in the hell do you do this? I have had headaches for days now. Just nearly constant. I would shove an ice pick through my head if I had one and the motivation to go get it.

...

I have a final thing to say about the discussion earlier today, because I found that I'm getting angrier the more that I think about it.

vw, I am glad that you told us what you did and apologized. However, that does not make what you did okay, and yes, I do feel that you've weakened the trust I had in you.

vw's prompting did seem kind of like a constructed discussion, but I'm still going to say please don't use my comments, vw. They were meant for friends with an awareness of lurkers.

I was feeling sort of vulnerable last night - I was in a very extroverted mood, but was home alone, so I came here for company. I'm willing to share personal stuff with the Bitches because in exchange I get good company from people I trust who can make with the snark.

I think for me it was a good lesson that I shouldn't be so sharing of the personal stuff.

ION, Go A's!!!! Fuck yeah! Plus the Tigers beat the Yankees, so all is good.

I'm glad you confessed, vw, but I'm taken aback you'd ambush your friends that way. Please don't use anything I said.

Raq, I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you have to change something in response to this; that seems kind of backwards, y'know? The folks on the receiving end aren't the ones who should change.

I'm going to nickname my lovely husband Intrepid. He's taking Ben on a three-mile hike around the lake for Scouts today and he *offered* to take Sara with them.

::boggles. loves him::

I foresee a trip to Target unencumbered by children in my future. And a really long, hot shower beforehand. Time to shave my legs in peace! It's bliss, I tell you!
