not your mom's socks.

I do mostly size, but when I can put James Joyce next to Dorothy Parker, I will. I like to see 'em fight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

The two factors that tipped me from always having a cushion to living paycheck to paycheck are 1) daycare and 2) mortgage. Ironic, huh? I mean, slowly we are building up a bit of a cushion again, but it will take the kids entering elem school (and aftercare vs daycare) for us to really start saving again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Absolutely. We were doing so well as DINK renter-types, and now we're back to taking money from my parents (for daycare).

The one mitigating factor is we're also too tired now to ever go out, so we're saving money on movies and dinners. Doesn't quite balance out, but it helps!

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

They tend to show off with the biggest guys. Why in gods name would I be convinced by a fight system this guy finds effective? I wager he finds everything, up to and including badminton effective self defense. I am more interested in what she can use.

I am guessing that guys don't find that compelling (though they should) and that's the majority of the center's customers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I keep telling the higher ups at krav that they have to sell the fact that it works for smaller women.

I still think they should do the Mother's Day weekend thing my dojo did where you get a free class if you bring your mom, and they teach you a bit of self defense for any strength level.

Fun!

I think they let us members bring a friend. Polgara will remember better.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We are waiting for the DirectTV supervisor guy to show up and give a second opinion on whether we can do satellite tv or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In my ongoing attempt to de-trash-ify my apartment, I just threw out a Trader Joe's bagful of paper. So that's good. Less good is the fact that most of it was grad school stuff that was already in a drawer, so the place doesn't look much better. Ah well. Little steps, little steps.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I went running, took a shower, and had an omelet.

... that's enough for the day, right?

If the weather holds off too long, I'll have to do yard work, and I don't want to. C'mon, rain already!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

HUSH, YOU!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac has a bit of a cold, showed up last night, but he claimed not feeling good enough for swimming so we stayed home this morning and stayed in bed until almost 12. I figure if I can just keep him in front of the tv it is almost as good as a nap. He seems better already.

If I get laundry done, some papers shredded, and the sheets changed I will be happy.

Go Jesse! is the desk almost empty now?

and I meant to say YAY ASKYE earlier.
