jeeezus, kat! I already got the twins in my life an xmas present (family pass to Port Discovery kids museum!) but how can I resist getting those??? I'm going to have to though if anybody else on my list is going to get a christmas present.

I'm sorry to tempt! Did you see the little bit country/little bit rock and roll twin sets?

When am I going to go get the pinata i've been tasked with getting for my sister-in-law's baby shower? During the planning it seemed like I'd have sooo much time but it turns out I really don't!

When is the shower? is it that you are having a hard time finding a pinata?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Compassionately intolerant

DH sleeps with a hat

A friend who runs Outward Bound courses she refers to as "Hoods in the Woods", says "Feet cold, put on a hat!" It works, I must say...even when I just put on a bandana, vata-like, I feel warmer all over.

In re: hypnosis from way upthread.

I like and wholeheartedly endorse hypnosis, both guided and self-hypnosis, as an excellent tool for relaxation and self awareness.

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is just relaxation and you won't do anything 'under' that you don't choose to. The funny antics you see in stage shows and bar performances are generally people clucking like chickens because they have social permission to!

Damn. I keep wishing for an answer for ita.

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

Allyson! Hush!

Thanks guys. I have wifi for right now, but no cell service.

Or a plan. I don't know what happens next.

Kat, you gave me neat slipper socks a couple admissions ago. They go from slounge to bed well (well, for me) but I've about killed them with wear.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Much ~ma for ita. Thanks for the update, Allyson.

We finally have heat. Weird issue with a loose wire but the service tech was very nice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

ita, glad to see you checking in -- the ~ma continues as long as you need it.

Punishingly Intricate

I keep wishing for an answer for ita.

seriously! Or, if there is no answer, that they just go the fuck away.

When is the shower? is it that you are having a hard time finding a pinata?

Shower is Sat. late afternoon. I think I should be able to find one here in my work neighborhood (which has several Latin American stores) but I just haven't gotten around to going out and looking for one. I think I'll be able to do it today, though. wish me luck!

Did you see the little bit country/little bit rock and roll twin sets?

no! holy cute! I could also, down the line, get those for my nephew & niece who will be approx. a month apart.
