Just one cat. And a German Shepherd.
Parts of Virginia Woolf would qualify as black comedy. But I'm not sure I'd put it in a high school curriculum. I can only imagine possible parental reaction to the game of "hump the hostess."
Prettiest. Bathtub. Evah! [link]
HOMG, Specialty's cookies are 600 calories? I no longer mourn the fact that when I changed jobs I lost Specialty's. Wow.
Needless to say, I will not be going there for a snack today.
