Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The Uglydolls, homespun monster toys with stubby limbs, missing eyes and names such as Ice Bat, are showing up in the company of A-list celebrities.

Olivia sleeps with Babo and Ox.

I have two cheap but matching pieces of luggage--a roller case and a small, carry on. We don't travel enough to need more than that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'll bet you can't make the Journey quotage last the whole thread!

The Marie Claire list is a little different than the one I use to have in a tag: Every woman should have a screwdriver set, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Pitt told Esquire magazine for its October edition that he doesn't intend to marry Jolie until legal restrictions are lifted in the U.S. and "everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

Pat Robertson was quoted as saying, "OHMYGAWDS! Change that law! Change it, change it! Those nice kids deserve to be married and if we have to let all them homos do it, too, then ok! As long as Brangelina are married and togetha foreva !!!1! Won't someone think of those children???"

@@

Seriously, I get and appreciate the gesture, but dies it read to anyone else as bullshit excuse for not wanting to get married again?

What is even happening?

I got 91.7% Correct on that Tone Deaf test [link] The website tells me that any score greater than 90% means I have world-class musical abilities.

I should be happy, but instead, all I can feel is the crushing weight of yet another unrealized potential. When is Willow going to do that frakking spell?

Help. I've been caught in an information loop and it is making me want to bash my computer in.

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

I don't think the dishes or flatware really have to match, but you should be able to set a nice table if you want. I also think good towels are nice and having good ones for guests is also a sign of adulthood, something I only achieved this year by the way.

Being able to entertain is part of adulthood for me--having people over for a real meal, whether it be a barbeque or ordering pizza or a sit-down dinner. I think that's because I didn't do it regularly until I was in my late 20s. Those of you who are better cooks and hostesses will probably not think of entertaining as much of a milestone, but it was for me.

I have no actual luggage. My mom's got a few pieces that I borrow in case. Everywhere else I go I get by with a big duffel-ish bag.

I got flatware last Christmas! Granted, it's Target, but it all matches, and my mother inexplicably bought me two 4-pc place settings for just little ol' me. It's heavy and pretty. Dishes are Corelle, which are awesome. I don't forsee myself ever needing china.

I used to have a full set of flatware. And then my daughter moved in. Somehow, she had a way of losing spoons. I think it was the yoghurt cartons. She'd forget to take the spoon out when she threw them away. Der.

Never underestimate the power of "leaning on the elbow funny".

No, my hand was doing the crazy dance without any assistance from my elbow. It seems to have receded, though, so I'm hoping it was just some kind of weird delayed reaction from not having eaten anything in... uh, sixteen hours.
