Our wings are not tired.

Nothing like a good dose of reality to keep unprepared teenagers from making babies, Laura.

I'm good at that one. My GF's 16yo daughter assisted with Bobby's birth because DH didn't make it to the hospital in time. She is 29 now and still childless. Coincidence? I think not. (although my GF could really use a grandchild to dote on)

Need to find my cookbook for carrot cake goodness.

I slept 12 hours last night and the family let me. I woke up to an almost empty house. DH and CJ went golfing and K-Bug took my van to the library to study physics. Just me and mom at home.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks, guys.

I'm so over this job. This check is from the flipping 16th. It was supposed to be mailed, instead it got lost until the 22nd. I told them to set it aside and I'd pick it up today.

Manager can't find it.

And to add insult to injury, there was a Christmas party I WAS NOT invited to. And I did not get the bonus they handed out there. And I probably won't get paid for the 23rd because I'm part time.

SO OVER this job. Wish we didn't need the $$.

Toto and I would like to introduce the newest member of our household.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why are groceries so damned expensive?

Wish I knew. It used to be "food's the one luxury we can afford." Now, not so much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thelma is gorgeous!

thessaly has a line in one of her poems that I just love. It's something like, "I want groceries to stop being a major investment." I just feel like, I'm one freaking person. How much does it really need to cost to feed *me*? Of course, I did buy a big bag of Toto's food today, so that didn't help. But, still.

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?

Oooohhh, Thelma is all shiny and pretty!

Groceries are insane. It's just me and a cat, but our grocery bill always seems crazee high. And it's not like I'm buying steaks and prime cuts of meat. I'm getting basics.

Speaking of which, I need to get outta here and run errands. Including groceries.

Oh, man. My dogs go through about 30 lbs of dog food a month. And it's expensive because Mac's got a techy tummy. It costs over $1/lb. I keep threatening to make them get jobs.

Thanks, guys! Me loves Thelma. My dad was all nervous, because she's "cinnamon" red, not "red" red, but I think she's just perfect.

Yeah. I'm lucky with Toto. His food is about $20 for the big bag, but it lasts him a couple of months. But, he's little. Of course, this doesn't count the little 5 pound bag of "treat" food (that's like $15) I have to give him before he goes to bed, because he usually doesn't eat dinner, and then he pukes. So, it still adds up.
