So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

That backless bra would be SO fantastic if it's true!

Hmm. I can't see how that wouldn't end up putting a lot of stress on the backs of the shoulders, ending up slumped over by the end of the day. Also, I can see how it could look good when you're standing still, but there's really nothing there to prevent bounce when actually moving.

Yep. I am deeply sceptical about that backless bra. But then, I'm having one of my periodic bouts of thinking I should just give up on bras completely, and wear overbust corsets instead.

According to the FAQ they can deliver any time between 9AM and 7PM.

But it's a FRIDAY NIGHT. GET YOUR ASS HERE ALREADY.

You know if I had left this morning and ran an errand until 9:15, they would've showed up then.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It was kind of freaking me out until I remembered that. I'm not falling apart! I'm just injuring myself!
That's always a relief. I can deal with injuring myself. I don't like when bits of me fall apart.

And, everyone can hush. I know, I am a clutz and bruise easy and have been known to stab my thumbs with shrimp. Twice. I know.

It's sad how much of a relief it can be. I woke up with a pulled butt muscle and was all hypochodriatic and then I remembered slipping while cleaning the tub. It was like yay! I'm just a clutz!

This week I've been kind of worried by the giant bruise on my calf that I couldn't explain. Then this morning I got up from a machine at the Y and whacked my other calf in that same spot. Mystery solved.

I've got one of those bruises right now. No clue how it happened.

But I did discover where my laptop can dig into my thigh which explains those bruises. I've reevaluated setting the computer off to the side and presto no bruises there!

I am just way too easily marked to try and figure them all out.

not your mom's socks.

thanks for speaking up there aimee. We've enjoyed being able to meet up with our kid free friends at various places, many of those friends being restaurant owners made living through the stares of diners who looked at us like we'd spit in their appetizers much less soul shriveling. Granted if she or we were disturbing other diners that's one thing and we'd leave. But being ostracized because we have chosen to do something other than hole up in the suburbs is a tough call. I don't know how Europe has survived as long as it has actually.

Though what do I know. She's miserable with the flu or something and I'm likely just venting in between rocking her back to sleep.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

A popular bar in Park Slope caused a bit of a local uproar recently when they put up "NO STROLLERS" signs on the door. It wasn't so much that they minded the babies, but the strollers were getting in the way of the non-baby-having patrons.

Little did they realize that a "NO STROLLERS" sign in Park Slope...well, it may as well have been a swastika for the reaction they got. The parents around here can be a wee bit aggressive about maintaining the family-friendliness of the neighborhood.

Eh, I care not about babies in a bar. Small children, possibly. Depends on how they're acting. I could see strollers getting in hte way though.

Playing scramble (facebook boggle) seems to have done the trick, the guy showed up with my UPS at 6:01. Eesh.

Now to figure out if I can get it all set up before Monday...
