If she's my child, she'll have "Here lies Aimee. Beloved wife and not so beloved mother. I'll show you pictures of what she did to my hair." engraved on my tombstone.

Her hair is up in a pony tail and the bangs are askew from some serious dress-up play.

This is what it was in January - [link]

Do you have to go to Roscoes to get Chicken and Waffles? Couldn't you just go to any greekery and order some fried chicken and also some waffles?

Finally HOME!!!!! Booze has worn off. Need more.

Roscoe's waffles are acceptable to good.

Roscoe's chicken is up there with Ezell's.

Roscoe's greens and grits are fucking heaven.

In conclusion, OMG, I need to go back to L.A..

My god, you people produce the most beautiful children. So very ded from the cute.

BWAH!

Her hair is up in a pony tail and the bangs are askew from some serious dress-up play.

It was hard to see the ponytail in the picture, which is why it appeared shorter to me. (Genius that I am...) She looks happy in every picture I see, and that's what really matters.

(You know I love you, right? I'm not trying to maliciously tease you.)

Laga, I couldn't tell you. I've never been to Roscoe's nor have I ever had chicken and waffles. Heathen, I am.

Emeline=teh cute

I think my eyes may be bleeding.

Em is as beautiful as ever.

I love LA very much. It's home to me in a way Michigan never was (though Michigan will always be its own kind of home, in a way LA never can be). This is my place. And now, this is where my career, the one I always wanted, is.

S has lived in this apartment for about 15 years, and it's rent controlled. Consequently, we pay about $850 a month for a two bedroom with a view all the way to the ocean (on a good day) and which includes the Santa Monica mountains, the Hollywood sign, and Griffith Observatory. In Silver Lake, one of the newly hip (read: expensive) neighborhoods to live in.

I don't ever want to move.

It is worth it for the Ackles later!

Honest!

Okay, so I cracked open a whopping ONE S1 disc when I bought the boxes.

But I had already WATCHED all of S1 on first air, drat it! I didn't need to take THAT much for the team!

PS, Tall Tales is up on iTunes. And I just rewatched (3rd time) Born Under a Bad Sign. And I swear I noticed something cool, but then I drowned in emo instead.

I'm not really paying attention to the DA, I have to admit. I still feel compelled to at least pretend to watch what leads up to the Ackles.

Tall Tales has been downloaded, and I am trying to decide between watching an SPN ep and going to bed. I think sleep might win.

I keep telling myself I hate Los Angeles but when I'm with Kristin her love is contagious. Last Easter I realized I could never leave as long as my whole entire family lives here. How rare is it in this modern world to be within 1 hour's drive of your parents, your siblings and all their children? It's worth it to me to be "stuck in this place." Still when I offhandedly mention "home" in the middle of a sentence I am usually referring to Chicago, a place I haven't lived in for 6 years.
