shrift, you might need a keeper when sick.

What, I made sure I was getting fluids! The not eating was a very good idea at the time. Believe me.

I just ate a bowl of soup. I hope it stays where it's supposed to.

I will do shotgun again someday, and hopefully rifle. Not with those folks, though.

I'm going to the movies tonight, and I will be especially girly, and I will smile at complete strangers and know how badly I could hurt them if things went south.

This is how I cheer myself up and forget the sexist pigs.

I did appall my friend by turning to him after the first go at shooting and tell him I'd broken a fingernail. Well, I had. If you don't angle your thumb right when you're loading you can catch your finger on the internals.

He went on to cut his trigger finger, but he insists that's a perfectly manly wound, as he was asking me for a Band Aid. I so wish I'd had...well, either my Hello Kitty ones or my Duct tape ones. Or both.

My eight year old daughter just shaved off the better part of at least one eyebrow, while she was in the shower. Then came to me in tears, telling me she didn't know what she was doing, and didn't even realize she was doing it. Um. Yes. I told her to go dry off, put on her jammies and then I'll take a look at it, and see if I can fix it.

I hope I'm able to refrain from laughing in her face, by then.

Oh no! Time to invest in eyebrow pencil I expect. Else she'll look like David Bowie in the 70s.

With a razor??? (I mean, probably, since what else could you use to shave off an eyebrow, but "didn't realize she was doing it"????)

Mmm'kay. Accidentally shaving off the better part of an eyebrow... there has to be a story there, right? What was she going for?

And also...

Alan is our friend, and he is silly because Eve thinks so.

Then it must be so.

Yes. And I did say, "I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't exactly believe that you didn't know and didn't realize you were doing it." She said she didn't think it would do anything without shaving cream. She made a nick in the other eyebrow, too. She swears she didn't even know she touched that one. I think I'm lucky she didn't shave her eyes off.

I just looked. I can't fix it. She has thick eyebrows, but they are gorgeously shaped (or were). People have commented on them since she was a baby. I asked if she didn't like them. She said she does like them. I asked if she thought they were too thick. She says she doesn't. I asked if anyone had said anything to her about her eyebrows. She says no.

Clearly, she's possessed by an eyebrow shaving demon. I think I'll take her to get them waxed on Monday. There's no way I can fix what she's done with tweezers in a humane amount of time.

Totally going to Gwen. This shit is bannanas. B-A-N-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Oh, dear. Wow, some lessons just suck to learn the hard way. Also, back away from the sharp things, J!

I think I'm lucky she didn't shave her eyes off.

Indeed.
