You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

What saddens me more than the packing away of the size 4, is the packing away of the vintage. Of course, the vintage clothing is all size 14 or 18, and it fit me when I was in size 6-8....

Women's clothing sizes are CRAXY.

I have two super dresses that fit at size 16 and fit at size 4 and they fit currently now even with a burgeoning house sized belly. They are magic.

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((ita's sister)))) Luckily, a little gauze and surgical tape should bandage that up nicely.

in deep denial over the existence of boobs

Or at least put a button where most women's breasts are so that the gaping need not happen so blatantly.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Women's sizing makes me crazy. That said, I've lost enough weight lately that my favorite jeans are beginning to hang off me, and I'm sad because I'll have to buy new ones, and I love these jeans. Sigh.

I'm home sick with the awfuls, and bored enough to be surfing LJ randomly, and I found this, which I must share with Buffistas: [link]

OMG the cuteness!

God, I'm out of Aleve Sinus--I'll have to leave the house, damnit.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I find that shirts which fit at the waist (non-preggers version) are uncomfortably tight across the chest, and that shirts which fit up top are absurdly tent-ish at the waist. And I'm not even really that large-chested/small waisted.

Vince Vaughn made me late to work this morning.

Also, I somehow survived the three hour meeting with HR, and now I have a ginormous pile of work to do. Isn't that always the way?

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

ita, are you going to Krav today?

I've actually sewn up the placket in several of my shirts because of the gapage. Button-up tailored shirts are actually a style I feel comfy in, but it is totally hit or miss if they are going to fit right. And they'll gape no matter what. And I will iron only rarely. I'm slightly rumpled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Allyson, I got the call. I'm not sure if I'll go and pick them up (thank you!) in the middle of the day, since I'll be there from 5:45 on. It all depends on errands and the head.

Thank you again!

Let me know if they're rotting!
