connie, they could be sent media mail, so shipping might not be awful.

cute husbandman will be bringing me lemonade and will cook me dinner. This is very good. I think I wouldn't bother with food if he didn't make me some. which would be bad.

I just tried to help Hubby with the dishes. Since I do the working, he does the house as much as he can. He told me I was doing it wrong--and he was right--and while he did appreciate the attempt to help, he'd rather do it himself. Which is a relief, because I hate doing dishes, but, gosh, I should be able to do dishes.

Oh, the problems of the modern geek woman.

Seanie - can you hop on IM?

So, in Who needs enemies when you have friends like that? news....

Went to have lunch with a "friend" the other day. We aren't particularly close as she has, in the past, been a total hoor to me. Things were mended and whatever.

So there I am, having lunch with her - that *I* bought and grought with me, even though she invited me - and I noticed our Christmas card on the wall. I said, "Hey! There we are!" She replied, "Yep! I thought that was such a neat picture." "Why?", I asked, thinking stupidly that it was the novelty of the palm trees and such. She said, and I quote, "I thought it was neat how you posed yourself so noone could tell if you hadn't lost your baby weight. You can't see your hips, your belly or anything!"

I about choked on my salad.

FTR - this [link] was the picture.

Ye gods, Aims, what a sow!

eta: By which I mean her, obviously, not you. It may be a wee bit premature to move her back onto the complete hoor board, but she's definitely on notice.

I give all my sick to your "friend"

"Well, I think it's neat how you're so completely transparent."

I politely told her that I was good at disguising my "problem" areas, but that I am, in fact, 15 lbs down from my pre-pregnancy weight.

Then again, this is the same person who, a year after my wedding said, "I'm glad you put that weight you lost back on."
