I still haven't figured out who they've got in mind when they stock the Watergate Safeway. Every kind of flour except whole wheat. Every flavor of oat milk except plain. About 30 different kinds of rice. Generally horrible selection of vegetables, but today they had a pretty decent assortment of stuff, including three different kinds of winter squash. In May. No summer squash, though. Lots of different kinds of pasta -- regular, whole wheat, whole wheat with flax seed, rice, and I think I noticed spelt. They've always got grapples, but don't always have grapes.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Erin, I saw on someone's LJ (maybe Smonster??) about tricks to keep hair looking fab despite not washing it. Maybe jot a couple down? That's the first thing that drives me crazy when I'm sick/hospitalized and can't shower. Baking soda in your hair and lipgloss/mascara and you're ready to accept flowers from all sorts of charming visitors. Hope it goes as smoothly as possible.

Thanks for all the support and good thoughts. It kept me from goin' crazy tonight.

recovery~ma, Erin.
Ugh. Just ignored a "trigger warning" on a blog post that I shouldn't have ignored. Really bad idea.

Hang in there, Erin! Much ~ma!

No, not your blog, vw. I'm gonna be OK, thanks. (I just went to a vegan message board that I post on and I'm looking through the "post pictures of your kids" thread. Cutiehead vegan babies are very calming, it seems.)

I'm thinking cutie-head meat-eating babies are pretty damned adorable, too. But I know what you mean about those triggers and how sometimes one just can't. walk. away.

Now I have this horrible vision of chubby cheeked babies, surrounded by raw meat. Something akin to a recent Top Model photoshoot where they had to wear meat panties and scarves. EW!

SON OF A BITCH. remember how I was psyched that I got the table for $50 less? well, it seems that there are two motherfucking sizes, and I got the wrong (smaller) one. Now, I have to find time to get to motherfucking Ikea before Sunday. FUCK.
