The bangs are looking good! Pete's work?

But of course. And they're getting trimmed again tonight or tomorrow night. Upkeep! Pointy bangs are all about upkeep!

I have to say, Jilli, your face is looking much slimmer than I've seen it in the past. Very pretty.

blushes Thank you!

Have you seen the easter egg on the Serenity DVD?

I need to see that--I've seen the film but I forgot about the Easter egg until after we'd returned it to netflix.

This afternoon turned out to be pretty productive: We went to the post office to mail a package, stopped by the pharmacy AND went to the library, where the kids played for nearly an hour and then I got some books (Saxons, Vikings, and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland and Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution).

Andi, I do hope your sister gets some assistance in dealing with your mom--I agree that it would be beneficial to everyone.

Welcome home, Empress!!!

I gave up after a ton of ibuprofen didn't make a dent in the cramps and am now home in my jammies with a heating pad. Luckily, I think I got everything done today I needed to, so I can veg out with nothing hanging over my head.

Cash, you are totally a history slut.

You'll be happy to know that whatever you did worked. Lifetime is now gone again. Damn you.

Bwahahaha!

So you opted not to use the Damocles Designs decorating service?

Meanies. Wishing me no depressive/sappy/unrealistic-real-life-stories television! You say it's for my own good, but, but, but I can't come up with a good but!

Erin, my new boyfriend takes this almost every night for sleep and it worries me. Should I be worried?

If/when he decides to quit taking it, it's a several week-to-month or more process getting back to being able to sleep without it. I've been told it affects your memory, but it's conflicting information (that I haven't researched further): that if you don't get the requisite 5-6 hours needed to clear it out of your system, it will mess up your memory that day; or, that it's not known if or how it affects your memory over prolonged usage, but that it may contribute to memory loss. I tell you what, for sure, if you take it and then force yourself to stay awake, you will not really remember what you said/did.

Great drug, though. I use it for travel now; the before-the-trip excitement/jitters that make it hard to get to sleep are easily vanquished.

A guy in a cube 20 feet away from me keeps making those disgusting snurfing noises like he has a cold and needs to blow his nose but won't. I gave him my entire box of Kleenex last week after telling him in a friendly way that the noise really bothers me and could he please blow his nose or close his door (he has one; I do not). I don't know what to say to him because all I want to do is scream at him, "Will you quit making that disgusting noise and go blow your nose already!

Welcome home, Empress!!!

Thanks! It's a bittersweet day.

I have no television. Which means I have to make my own fun. So...what underwear is everyone wearing, and what music are youlistening to right now? I'm trying to work out a scientific correlation. (Not really: I'm just bored and random and I think my hot pink tap pants with black lace edging the leg slits are fucking cute.)

Oh, and She Wants Revenge.

None and NPR- but no music.

Also bored, but will be off in a little less than an hour.
