You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Oh I agree with him too. It's just not happening for me right now. food is being heated, then Mr. Man is in for an awakening.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm currently looking at toys from the recall. Apparently, we have the same models but they were bought before the recall period. I'm still suspicious, having just tossed out lead-tainted bibs that were not recalled but listed under "warnings."

DH is watching me and asked, "Who puts LEAD in BABY BIBS? What's next? Mercury in the pacifiers?"

After the toy purge, comes laundry.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Your husband and I apparently share a brain.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Pipl found me by my voter registration. But there's another Susan W. almost my age who was born near Seattle. Also, a Susan Cleopatra W. who was born in Alabama in the 1850's. (It's actually possible that DH and I are distant cousins, since the W's had a brief sojourn in my part of Alabama before settling in Oklahoma and Texas, and thanks to my great-great-grandfather's super-fertility, I'm kin to practically everyone in that corner of our county. Nothing like meeting a cute boy from the neighboring high school and having your dad laugh and say, "Chris Ray? That's another one of your cousins.")

Anyway, my blog and some of my freelance work comes up, too. I'm findable.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Thanks, Aimee! Ft Wayne got me a thunderstorm for my birthday. My power flashed.

Our wings are not tired

Did you flash back?

Happy Birthday!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, I need to see if it goes out. Because if it goes out, then I'm going to have to get jealous, and then I have to decide if I'm going to be pissy jealous or try-to-get-it-back jealous.

Thanks.

The status is NOT quo.

Happy Birthday, Debet!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pipl found my birth name at an address I haven't lived at in almost 12 years, and found absolutely nothing under my present name.

Weirdly (if you know my birth surname, you know how rare it is -- there's exactly one person with my surname in the state of CA who isn't a member of my immediate family), there's someone with my dad's name listed with a street address and phone number in a local town where I know he's never actually lived, run a business, owned property, or really done anything but drive past on the freeway on his way to my childhood home for Christmas morning breakfast. Which would ordinarily make me flap my arms and go pssssh, whatever, but with all the creepy identity theft Buffistas have been running into lately I'm now suspicious and perturbed.

eta: Wait, it's Debet's birthday? That's not creepy or perturbing at all, it's celebration-worthy! Happy day and happy year, Debet!

(I always want to say Hippo Birdies because of Theo, but I always feel like I'm cheating if I say it before she does, so I'm sticking with plain old Happy Birthday for now)
