We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

I didn't know Forbes paid attention to things like this, but I find it interesting, especially when trying to wrap my mind around huge sums of money:

Movie stars Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner and director Steven Spielberg have been named in US magazine Forbes' top 10 most costly divorce settlements in Hollywood. Spielberg, who divorced first wife Amy Irving in 1989 at a cost of $100 million, was only beaten to the top of the poll by basketball legend Michael Jordan and singer Neil Diamond, at numbers one and two respectively. Forbes speculates Jordan's pending divorce from his wife of 18 years, Juanita Vanoy, will set the former NBA star back by more than $150 million - the cost of Diamond's failed 1969 marriage to Marcia Murphey. Ford ranks at number four after having paid an estimated $85 million to first wife Melissa Mathison, while Costner's settlement with wife of 16 years, Cindy Silva in 1994, earned him fifth place. Other stars whose love splits have made it into the top 10 include: former Beatles singer Sir Paul McCartney and his impending divorce from Heather Mills; rocker Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall; and Michael Douglas and first wife Diandra.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

From those GA pics, wow. Sara Ramirez is just smoking hot and ... prettier than Izzie. I didn't think prettier than Izzie was a state that existed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bon, for stock I end up pouring 1 cup each into sandwich ziploc baggies and freezing individually. Easy to use, and no washup.

OMG you're a genius.

You know me and my ziploc baggie obsession.

Robin, We're leaving for the hospital now and we'll be there until probably 12:30 or so. Anytime after that we should be home.

ita, thank you for the onesies! They are adorable. I wonder when the twins will be allowed to wear clothes?

When I can't find frozen peach slices, I drain a can of no-sugar-added peach slices, parcel into snack-size ziplocs and freeze. Must be frozen for my mid-day protein smoothie. They're still sweeter than fresh-frozen, but better than not frozen at all. I cap fresh strawberries and freeze a handful each in snack bags for the same purpose.

At the very least, Kat, the stuff on this site seemed targeted to accommodate the needs of the NICU, so hopefully not that long. I think they fasten differently from normal onesies for that reason.

I've been tempted to grow out my grey, because there seem to be some interesting patterns going on, but unless I got a really close-cropped cut, the growing out stage would drive me bugnuts.

You can try the method where you get highlights in the base about where the grey is for the transitional period. I think you'd need to get a couple inches of regrowth for that, mind.

Which reminds me, I need to hit Sally so I can break the base and tone the highlights today. If I don't do it, I'll get all bored and weird and use that box of bright copper red.

I swear, this whole temptation to grow out the grey makes me miss the days of true semi-perm color like Loving Care. None of this "semi" that's really a demi crap.
