Rural places are really that boring. And I say that having spent much of my childhood in one in Wisconsin.
I like the ruffles.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

What is even happening?
My college roomie who grew up in the Berkshires was the first person to tell me about cow tipping, so it even happens in Massachusetts, vw.
JZ and Kristin, I'm sorry about the job disappointments. Suzi, keep on keeping on. Sean, I hope you're feeling better. Cashmere, I still want you to have that pirate ship.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I live in the middle of the bay area and we have people who paint rocks. There is this one rock between my house and the airport that keeps flipping between being painted like a watermelon to a lemon with the occasional orange thrown in. It does spend most of it's life as a watermelon - but anyone who drives that road with any regularity checks to see if the paint bandits have given it a new life. Me, I want to make it a Cheshire cat grin with glow in the dark paint.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cash! Did the package arrive yet?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash! Did the package arrive yet?
Not yet. Probably any day, though.
Cashmere, I still want you to have that pirate ship.
Still wanting it, too.
Last night I thought I heard one of the kids screaming at 1:30 a.m. I did the rounds--nothing. Turns out it was our trashy neighbors across the street. Fighting and screaming, then sitting on the curb talking to the police officers that came.
Owen and I had a knock-down-drag out last night at bedtime. He stripped naked again but refused the potty. I didn't want to put him in his bed without going because the mattress pad is in the laundry. An hour later we both collapsed. I put him in his bed naked and asleep but managed to put a diaper on him before I went to bed at midnight.
We still need to go out and get Olivia shoes today and buy a wading pool at Target.

Thrive to spite them
Cow tipping happens in the South too.
Good Timelies my lovely Bitches! I hope everyone's day goes well. My morning is going well -- I'm being productive at work and also I got hit on by the window cleaner. And I'm going between "I feel sexy and wow I'm going to stay a blonde!", "this is probably not the bes top to wear to work." , and a tiny bit of "omigod! have all the men around here gone insane!" but that's the KFCKD tape playing in my head.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
You have cow tipping, sure, but have you ever played cow chip bingo?
My home-town fair used to have this every year.

Oh, naked boy. You're being a major pain in the ass. Good thing you're so cute and your mom loves you so much.

What kind of shoes is Princess Tippy Toes getting?

Yup--only it's called "Bossy Bingo" where I hale from.
Good thing you're so cute and your mom loves you so much.
Only thing saving his ass right now. I've got two more mattress pads ordered and we're going to buy another potty chair (I hope he'll pick one out). I also have ordered T Brazelton's potty training book along with a slew of potty books for Owen from Amazon. Push comes to shove and he wants to run around naked in the house, I'm going to let him. He really hates diapers (who can blame him, really?)
We're going to Stride Rite for Tippy Toes. She basically prances around solely on her toes. She literally looks en point all the time and the ped is worried about it. I have trouble getting shoes on her so we're going to the pros for a fitting and to find something easy to get on her and that will flatten her feet out. I like these.

Mostly lurking...
My home-town fair used to have this every year.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Steele County Fair had something like that. I wouldn't know, though. I tended to be too busy flirting with the Carnies notice anything else. (Yes, I do realize how completely stupid that was. Ah, to be young and completely stupid again.)
Cashmere, those shoes are adorable!
